GloRilla has spoken out to clear the air regarding her rumored feud with JT of City Girls. During an interview with Apple Music’s Ebro Darden, GloRilla revealed that the so-called “beef” was exaggerated by fans and not a true issue between the two artists. The Memphis rapper explained that there was no real animosity between her and JT, and that the tension was largely a creation of fan speculation. Glo also reflected on how fans often try to fuel drama between artists and emphasized her own efforts to avoid engaging in negative narratives. The two rappers previously clashed in a back-and-forth on social media, but GloRilla insists there’s no bad blood.
GloRilla, one of Memphis’ most exciting rising stars, has set the record straight about her rumored beef with JT of City Girls. During a candid conversation about her debut album GLORIOUS on Apple Music with Ebro Darden, the rapper addressed the tensions that surfaced earlier this year and revealed that there was never any real animosity between the two. “Me and JT are actually cool,” GloRilla said, speaking out to squash the rumors that have been circulating for months.
Only one quote sums up GloRilla’s perspective: “It was really fueled by the fans. I don’t let the fans get to me like that.”
Glo explained that the so-called beef was more of a creation of the fans than an actual issue between her and JT. “That’s kind of the situation that we had. It was the fans. It was super unnecessary. It was really fueled by the fans,” GloRilla clarified. She went on to explain that she’s aware of how fans often play a role in creating drama between artists. “I see that with other artists. The fans always try, but I don’t let the fans get to me like that. I already know what they wanna do, [and] tryna do,” she added, emphasizing that she doesn’t allow fan-driven narratives to control her actions.
GloRilla’s statement comes after a highly publicized back-and-forth between her and JT earlier this year. The drama initially began in April when GloRilla name-dropped JT in her song “Aite,” saying, “I just pray one day the bad bhes would come together/ ’Cause Cardi and Nicki on a track would break some fkin’ records/ Me and JT ain’t the best of friends but we ain’t beefin’/ Know b**hes always havin’ [animosity] that they keep a secret.” The lyrics seemed to acknowledge the tensions but also stated that there was no actual beef between the two rappers.
However, the mention of JT did not go unnoticed, and the City Girls rapper quickly responded. JT accused GloRilla of playing into the rumors, particularly regarding an alleged physical altercation that had been circulating in the media. “Played into, released a song about slapping rap bi**hes now it’s female unity?? CORNY!!!!!,” JT tweeted, calling out GloRilla’s comments as disingenuous. JT even claimed that GloRilla’s behavior was “on brand” for her, referring to the Memphis rapper’s previously bold and controversial style.
In typical GloRilla fashion, the Memphis emcee didn’t shy away from clapping back at JT. “H*e shut yo dumb a** up & fix dem [ugly a**] wigs. I said it ain’t no beef ho; you da one with da secret animosity,” GloRilla shot back, making it clear that she wasn’t backing down. The exchange escalated briefly, with both women going back and forth on social media. But after the heated exchange, things eventually died down, and both rappers appeared to move on from the drama.
Reflecting on the incident, GloRilla expressed that she doesn’t let the back-and-forths get to her and that the fan-driven narratives often don’t reflect the reality of her relationships with other artists. “The thing with me is, like, when I see them tryna make a narrative, I do my best to steer away from it on purpose,” GloRilla added in her interview. Her ability to steer clear of drama and focus on her career is something that GloRilla prides herself on, and it’s clear she wants to continue building positive relationships within the music industry.
The “beef” between GloRilla and JT is just one example of how fans and social media can sometimes exaggerate or fabricate conflict between artists. The pressures of the music industry, combined with the constant scrutiny from fans and the media, can create unnecessary tension, even when there is no real issue. GloRilla’s candid comments highlight her awareness of this dynamic and her determination to avoid getting caught up in unnecessary drama.
While the fans may have tried to create a narrative, it’s clear that GloRilla and JT have both moved past the situation. GloRilla’s focus now is on her career and her new album, GLORIOUS, which marks a major milestone for the artist. She continues to push forward, undeterred by the noise surrounding her.
GloRilla’s clear message is that she won’t let fan-driven drama dictate her actions or relationships. As she continues to rise in the rap game, it seems that the Memphis rapper is determined to stay focused on what truly matters—her music and her career.
