There’s a new female rap beef brewing, between Gorilla nd JT from the City Girls. Media Take Out learns that the beef has been simmering for a few months now.
It all started when a rumor came out from last years BET Awards that JT and Glo got into a fight, and Glo allegedly slapped JT. JT denied the reports, but Glo made a song about it – suggesting that the altercation was true.
Yesterday the two got into it on Twitter, with JT calling Gorilla :ugly, and threaten g to put hands on her the next time she sees her. Look:
JT is one half of the popular female hip hop duo The City Girls. The duo signed with Quality Control Music, an imprint of Motown and Capitol Records in 2017 to release their debut mixtape, Period (2018) the following year. Two months later, they garnered mainstream attention following their guest performances on Drake’s 2018 single, “In My Feelings”, which peaked atop the Billboard Hot 100.
Their debut studio album, Girl Code (2018) saw positive critical reception and was suppo
rted by the singles “Twerk” (featuring Cardi B) and “Act Up”—both peaked within the top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100 and received platinum certifications by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Their second album, City on Lock (2020) was met with continued praise and moderate commercial response, while their third album, RAW (2023) trailed critically and commercially.
GloRilla is an American rapper from Memphis, Tennessee. She first became known for her 2022 single “F.N.F. (Let’s Go)” (with Hitkidd), which peaked within the top 50 of the Billboard Hot 100 and led her to sign with fellow Memphis rapper, Yo Gotti’s record label, Collective Music Group, an imprint of Interscope Records in July of that year. Released that same month, her follow-up single, “Tomorrow” spawned a remixed sequel (with Cardi B) that peaked within the top ten of the Billboard Hot 100 and received double platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Both songs, along with the gold-certified single “Blessed”, preceded the release of her debut extended play (EP), Anyways, Life’s Great in November, which entered the Billboard 200 at number 11.
