GloRilla Leaves Fans In Shock With Throwback Picture That Shows Off Her Big “Glo-Up”

by

We’ve seen a couple of Big Glo throwback pictures of her pre-fame days in the years since her rise, but they somehow don’t get any less surprising. Moreover, GloRilla recently stopped by her high school to donate $25,000 to build a media center in their library, and she recreated an old photo that she took in front a trophy case. She also shared the old snapshot in question, and everything from the outfit to the hair and even her pose shows how much her style and image have changed. It’s not like the Memphis femcee is completely unrecognizable, but the recreation really emphasizes her transformation.

In addition to looking back at the people that made GloRilla who she is, she’s also looking to the future of her career. For example, she and Sexyy Red recently entertained the idea of a collab album between the two during a XXL interview. “Ratchet as f**k,” Glo posited. “It gon’ be some super ratchet s**t. The n***as gon’ hate us. No, I mean the men gon’ hate us.” “I think they’d love it,” the St. Louis hitmaker added. “Because we both trench-certified, you know? Two young ladies.”

GloRilla Shows Off How Much She’s Changed

“You know how we talk our s**t, though,” GloRilla continued. “When I first came out with ‘FNF,’ they was like, ‘Who is this b***h talking about f**k n***as?’ But it’s just a whole lot of ratchet.” “Everybody was remixing that motherf***er,” Sexyy Red responded. Elsewhere during their conversation, they also talked about how many people criticize them and other female rappers for their proclivity for overly sexual lyrics. They called this perspective, particularly the male one, a hypocritical stance, but they also faced some pushback for conflating critiques of quality with critiques of sensuality.

Nevertheless, GloRilla is closing out the year on a high note, even indulging in some holiday fare via the new Kehlani-assisted single, “Xmas Time.” To see her return to her high school to give back and look back on how far she’s come is a treat to witness, and we’re sure that there will be many more reflections and thankful moments to celebrate in her career next year.

Gillie Bashes Police At His Boxing Event For Shooting Confusion That Led To Cancellation

by

Gillie Da Kid had to angrily kick everyone out of his boxing event this weekend due to an alleged shooting against police outside, but it turns out that this was a huge misunderstanding that made him all the more irate. “Shout out to everybody that supported us tonight,” Gillie began his video response to the matter. “Shout out to everybody that tuned into the pay-per-view. But I also want to say this, man. The Wilmington police is the worst f***ing police district in the f***ing country.” He claimed that he paid police and security $14,000, yet their captain had to ask him to control the crowd outside the venue that didn’t have tickets, who were apparently very rowdy.

Furthermore, Gillie Da Kid didn’t understand why this had to be his job, but he followed through anyway because the captain suggested that the police would have to use force as an alternative. “Five minutes later, y’all macing motherf***ers,” he ranted against the police. When Gillie heard that people were allegedly shooting at police outside, the Million Dollaz Worth Of Game cohost was shocked and kicked everybody out. But then, the police said that people were shouting at them, not shooting. “You made me kick all of these motherf***ers out the stands ’cause some n***as was outside shouting at the f***ing police?!” he asked indignantly.

Gillie Da Kid Addresses Boxing Event Shut-Down

This was a really rough situation for almost everyone involved, as the non-ticketed crowd and police cost a lot of people money, time, and peace. For Gillie Da Kid in particular, this situation might’ve hit home for him due to his condemnation of gun violence, but to hear that it was all a miscommunication afterwards was clearly a massive blow.

Hopefully he can avoid these types of situations in the future for his next events, as this is the last thing that he wants to promote or condone. Gillie Da Kid (or King, rather) has a brazen sense of humor, but you certainly do not want to be on the receiving end of one of his scathing rants. What should’ve been a great event seemingly fell victim to poor planning on behalf of security staff.

Bhad Bhabie Cozies Up To Le Vaughn After Alabama Barker Drama

by

This week, Bhad Bhabie took to Instagram to announce that she was officially single. She accused Alabama Barker of stealing her man Le Vaughn, with whom she welcomed her first child a few months ago. Barker denied these allegations, insisting that she didn’t know about Le Vaughn’s relationship with Bhad Bhabie and even accusing him of throwing a bottle at her. “His behavior was not only reckless but also deeply concerning,” Barker alleged. “It’s troubling to see that despite his actions, [Bhad Bhabie] continues to defend him even after I had told her what he had done.”

Bhad Bhabie later hopped online to explain the whole story, revealing that it all started with an alleged physical altercation between her and Le Vaughn. She claims that after an argument allegedly turned physical, she called up Chief Keef. Upon finding out about this, Le Vaughn allegedly “busted [her] lip” and “accidentally slammed [her] hand in the door.” Bhad Bhabie ultimately decided to stay at Chief Keef’s house for the night and returned home to find Le Vaughn packing up his things.

Bhad Bhabie Confuses Fans With New Video

He then proceeded to stay at a hotel for a couple of weeks, when he allegedly met Barker. Bhad Bhabie claims she didn’t find out about this until she and Le Vaughn had gotten back together, but when she confronted them both about it, neither of them told her the truth. For this reason, she said she decided to end her friendship with Barker and break up with Le Vaughn. Recently, however, she shared a clip of herself and Le Vaughn in a car together listening to one of her upcoming tracks.

For now, it remains unclear whether or not they’re back together. Regardless, social media users are fed up. Barker, on the other hand, praised Bhad Bhabie during a recent chat with fans on Instagram Live and called the situation a “smart” marketing strategy.

Remy Ma Shouts Out Eazy The Block Captain At Show Amid Papoose Cheating Drama

by

Remy Ma and Papoose haven’t said much about the actual cheating allegations against each other, but they are surely taking sides in not so subtle ways. For example, the former recenetly seemed to shout out her alleged lover, battle rapper Eazy The Block Captain, during a recent performance for “LOX & Friends” in New York City. Maybe the East Coast femcee did not mean this in this context at all, but try as she might, fans will still run with this narrative. As for Pap, Remy accused him of cheating on her with boxer Claressa Shields, who now wants to fight Remy for reasons that don’t have much to do with the rapper himself.

“At this point the girl leaked my number,” Claressa Shields said of Remy Ma, Eazy The Block Captain, and the Papoose drama. “So at this point, you can give me a dollar and I’ll put my hand over her. It don’t have nothing to do with whatever else. It’s just that part alone. That part there is where it’s like, I’m a businesswoman. Don’t leak my number. Why would you do that? I mean, drama sells. I’m not in that beef. My smoke with her is posting my number. So people like, ‘Oh, she wants to fight her over a dude, whatever,’ stop it. Stop it. That is so beneath me.”

Remy Ma Seemingly Salutes Eazy The Block Captain Amid Papoose Scandal

We’ll see how the hip-hop world reacts to this presumed Eazy The Block Captain shoutout. We know that some corners are taking this more seriously than others, as Fat Joe recently lamented his inability to solve the issues between his two good friends Remy Ma and Papoose. We can’t imagine what other individuals now find themselves stuck in the middle of this debacle.

Meanwhile, Papoose himself slightly pushed back against Joey Crack’s remarks, even if it was more of a fact-check than a direct opposition. As for Remy Ma, she remains relatively quiet about it all, but we’re sure that the near future’s developments will eventually result in a stronger statement. For now, some fans will take this perceived shoutout as gospel even if nothing really indicates a confession.

Ray J Insists Diddy Case Is An Alleged “Conspiracy” 

by

Recently, Ray J and Lil Woody joined YouTuber Lah Mike for a new episode of his series, 20 Versus. As expected, this resulted in several wild moments. At one point in the episode, Ray J even made some shocking claims about Diddy’s legal battle. This took viewers by surprise, considering what he’s said about the Bad Boy founder in recent months. “Listen, I’ve been to a lot of Diddy parties, and ain’t none of them had no dirty sh*t happening at them,” he alleged. “All this happening with Diddy is a conspiracy y’all.”

“It’s all about he say, she say. So I say this, as we narrow it down to what’s what and what’s not, I’ve said sh*t, people have said sh*t, but when you really think about it, there’s no facts to none of this sh*t,” he added. “So what we thinking about now is they tearing down the community, bro. Creating false narratives for sh*t that never happened dog.”

Ray J Discusses Diddy Case In New Episode Of 20 Versus

Just last month, Ray J appeared in TMZ‘s documentary streaming on Tubi, The Downfall of Diddy: Inside the Freak-Offs. He accused the mogul’s peers of begging for his silence. “They wanna tell me about certain things that happened with them and Diddy,” he alleged at the time. “I don’t even know why I just said it. But I said it so, so what.”

In the doc, he also claims that celebrities could be paying alleged victims to keep quiet. “I’m hearing about artists paying victims to keep their name out of it,” he alleged. “People do catch and kills all day…For the regular world, somebody has the truth, somebody pays you to keep it quiet, and hopefully, that money that you got paid secures your happiness while you watch the lie continue to succeed.” Ray J also previously said that he thinks Diddy deserves a “public whipping” for his alleged crimes and called his assault of Cassie “demonic.”

The Joe Budden Podcast Thinks Drake’s “Family Matters” Would’ve Ended Any Other Battle

by

The Joe Budden Podcast often has pretty hot takes about Drake given its titular host, but no one can say that they don’t give due credit… Albeit a little late in some fans’ eyes. Moreover, the cohort was discussing the Lil Wayne and Kendrick Lamar Super Bowl situation during a recent episode, and they eventually circled around to how Drizzy might have had more shots in the tank had Kendrick Lamar not won the battle. Budden even assessed that “Family Matters” “ends the rest of y’all” in a rap beef, referring to other MCs. While he thought the Kendrick diss track was hard on impact, that’s even more clear in hindsight.

Still, it doesn’t change the notion that Kendrick Lamar’s “meet the grahams” and “Not Like Us” completely knocked the wind out of Drake’s “Family Matters.” The Joe Budden Podcast‘s conversation around this begins at around the 3:15-minute mark of the Twitter clip below. There’s still a debate over who “won” the beef, especially with the 6ix God’s UMG and Spotify petition in consideration. That’s another aspect that the podcast recently discussed with a wide range of interpretations.

The Joe Budden Podcast On Drake’s “Family Matters”

What’s more is that pretty much everything that Kendrick Lamar and Drake do will have folks reaching for disses and looking back on how their battle aged. A perfect recent example is the Compton lyricist’s feature on SZA’s SOS deluxe LANA, specifically on the track “30 For 30.” A lot of fans drew connections between some of his bars on the record and potential references to the OVO mogul, but it’s not clear cut enough to really make heads or tails of. After all, so many bars on there could be interpreted in so many different ways that a sole conclusion feels limited.

Meanwhile, with more Drake music coming soon, we’re sure that this practice will continue for the rest of his and Kendrick Lamar’s careers. Their new moves provide more context and retrospective knowledge regarding their diss tracks, so reevaluations and less reactionary assessments will unsurprisingly follow suit. But nothing will change the impact of when “Family Matters” and “meet the grahams” dropped within minutes of each other.

D4vd Wonders “Where’d It Go Wrong?” On His New Single

by

Believe it or not, d4vd, Houston, Texas singer-songwriter, has not put out a debut album yet. He’s been in the industry for about three years now, but he’s held back from putting out a true LP. The “Romantic Homicide” artist does have a collection of EPs (Petals to Thorns, The Lost Petals, etc.) and whole slew of singles. But it seems he’s inching slightly closer to pulling the trigger with this new record, “Where’d it Go Wrong?” which hit streaming platforms this weekend.

According to Genius, it will be titled Withered, and a 2025 release looks to be the most realistic expectation right now. With that said, a specific day has yet to be revealed. But this song should tide fans over for a bit as it’s one of d4vd’s most personal ones to date. Part of the reason why is because according to Hypebeast, the 19-year-old Darkroom signee recorded this track at his childhood home in his closet. In terms of the equipment, he went back to his stripped back and raw roots by using BandLab and his iPhone. D4vd shared with the outlet how much it meant to him to lay down this single in this fashion. “This song reminded me why I’ve always loved making music on my own.” The passion is certainly there on all fronts, so make sure you check it out below.

“Where’d It Go Wrong?” – D4vd

Quotable Lyrics:

And I don’t really want your love no more, I swear, ’cause I don’t need it
And I don’t mean to be conceited
But I’m the reason you’re still breathin’
I’ll stop picking up your calls, ’cause you won’t stop screamin’
Is it love or lust? I can tell you’re feenin’
And I don’t wanna hurt your feelings
