2024 continues to be a breakout year for rapstress GloRilla.

As if nabbing her biggest first-week single sales to date thanks to the Megan Thee Stallion-assisted ‘Wanna Be‘ wasn’t enough to boast, the Memphis native also laid claim to her first solo top 40 appearance on the Hot 100 with the viral ‘Yeah Glo.’

Not resting on the success of ‘Glo’ and its parent project, ‘Ehhthang Ehhthang,’ GloRilla has already carved a follow-up hit on the charts with another of the mixtape’s favorites – ‘TGIF.’

What’s more, the tune’s handsome opening on this week’s Hot 100 marks a historic milestone for the GRAMMY nominee.

…and the claws are out!

Quavo may have spent little time clapping back at Chris Brown with ‘Tender‘ after he caught wind of the R&B stageblazer’s diss in the song ‘Freak‘ (found aboard the deluxe edition of his history-making album ’11:11′), but there was nothing tender about Brown’s response to the former Migos frontman.

With a song titled ‘Weakest Link‘ dropped early Saturday morning (April 20), Chris dropped bars referencing everything from Qua’s infamous elevator fight with ex-girlfriend Saweetie to the rapper’s rumored relationship with Karrueche Tran and even the death of Takeoff.

“Put you to bed / Night, night, that’s Sudafed / Show me that I’m tender, b***h, time to prove what you just said / R.I.P. Takeoff, he the only real one, I got true respect / Crazy how when he died, everybody really wished it was you instead,” he raps in the ferocious new tune.

Khia may be known for spitting some of Rap history’s raciest bars, but that doesn’t mean she enjoys being compared to other female rappers who have done the same.

Having made no secret of her distaste for some of the genre’s newer stars, the 46-year-old has slammed the likes of Cardi B, Megan Thee Stallion, Saweetie, Latto, and others over the years for various reasons.

And while veterans like Lil Kim, Da Brat, Trina, and Nicki Minaj have long felt royal tongue lashings from the self-proclaimed Queen of the South’s criticisms across her streaming platforms, she recently added relative newcomers Sukihana and Sexyy Red to the list of recipients.

See what she said that has the ‘Hood Rats’ hitmakers’ fans in a tizzy.
