Charlamagne Tha God just dropped a hot take thats got the internet in a chokehold. On ‘The Breakfast Club,’ he boldly claimed GloRillas catalog could go head-to-head with Nicki Minajs in a 20-song rap battle. Additionally, hes 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…
Chile, Charlamagne didnt 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 GloRillas catalog up against Nickis. I think thats 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 wasnt feeling Charlamagnes take, though, pointing out Nickis 15-year head start compared to Glo. But Charlamagne insisted, I can still get 20 records for 20 records. And I bet youll 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.
The conversation sparked on X was LOUD, okay! In one particular post, people shared their honest thoughts on Charlamagne’s opinion that Glo can go toe-to-toe with Nicki. Peep some of the responses below

Now, while Charlamagne was hyping GloRilla up, a leaked jail call from Young Thugs conversation with Mariah The Scientist had social media shook. In the audio, released on Thursday, August 4, Thug was heard shading Glos appearance, allegedly calling her ugly and questioning her appeal. The clip spread like wildfire online, and fans were NOT here for it. GloRilla wasted no time seemingly issuing her response on social media. Mind you dis da same n*a blowing my phone up to ask what color my eyes is lmaooo, she wrote. Glo wasnt playing, and her fans rallied, flooding the TSR comments with support, while others criticized Thug for coming for another womans looks. The shade was real, yall.
After the backlash, Thug tried to clean things up. In a message shared on his official X account, he apologized, saying:
first of all Im sorry to u for my words and I honestly dont think ur ugly at all, I was speaking from jail just having a hard time with life.. I dont like bashing girls and hardly ever did.. Im sorry to u twin.
GloRilla hasnt directly responded to the apology as of yet.
