Charlamagne Tha God just dropped a hot take that’s got the internet in a chokehold. On ‘The Breakfast Club,’ he boldly claimed GloRilla’s catalog could go head-to-head with Nicki Minaj’s in a 20-song rap battle. Additionally, he’s shaking up the “Big Three” female rap convo by saying Glo deserves a spot based on the success of her recent mainstream hits alone. Here’s what happened…

What Did Charlamagne Say About GloRilla Going Up Against Nicki Minaj?
Chile, Charlamagne didn’t hold back when he and his co-hosts started debating the “Big Three” in female rap. While discussing a series of names mentioned in a recent Billboard interview, Charlamagne threw a curveball, saying GloRilla is “certified big three of this generation.” He went IN, declaring, “I could put GloRilla’s catalog up against Nicki’s. I think that’s a good one. Yes, absolutely. GloRilla got joints.” He doubled down, noting her debut album dropped in 2024, but her mixtapes are “like albums” with songs that have made more noise than some other female rappers as of late.
DJ Envy wasn’t feeling Charlamagne’s take, though, pointing out Nicki’s 15-year head start compared to Glo. But Charlamagne insisted, “I can still get 20 records for 20 records. And I bet you’ll be like, ‘Damn, Glo.’” Trust and believe that the comments quickly sparked online chatter, with Hip-Hop heads weighing in on whether a valid point was made.
