GloRilla Says She Was Cappin’ About Dropping An R&B Album

Bad news GloRilla fans, but it seems like Glo’s recent announcement that she’d soon be dropping off an R&B album was much ado about nothing.

A week after the “TGIF” rapper got her fans in a tizzy after announcing that she was planning and crafting a rhythm and blues-centered project, GloRilla backtracked on the statement and admitted she was simply trolling everyone with the surprising news.

Twin Cities Prepares For Immigration Raids Targeting Somali Migrants Following Trump’s Anti-Somali Hate Speech

Listen — all hate speech is dangerous, but it’s especially dangerous coming from President Donald Trump, because we know it’s only a matter of time before his hateful and oppressive speech becomes hateful and oppressive policy.

For example, over the past week or so, Trump has been talking about the nation of Somalia like it personally tracked mud into the ballroom he destroyed the East Wing of the White House to create. He has repeatedly described the country as some post-apocalyptic hellscape where people “don’t have anything” except crime, has described the people of Somalia as “garbage” and “trash,” bloviated about how he doesn’t “want them in our country,” and he’s even repeatedly attacked U.S.… Read more
