Trina has revealed who she thinks is the most impressive female rapper in 2024.
The pioneering MC spoke with TMZ on Tuesday (October 15) to give her take on the current crop of women at the top of the rap game.
“I think it’s amazing that so many women are in the industry doing their thing,” she said. “You gotta give it up to them. They’re in the charts, they’re putting out dope records, dope albums, projects, collaborations. It’s a great thing to see. I’m loving the energy.”
Trina then revealed which female rapper has impressed her most this year: “I would definitely say GloRilla because she’s doing an amazing job. She’s on her second album, she’s been consistent, she just came off the tour with Meg [Thee Stallion].
“She’s really just making her mark. She’s handling her business and just constantly doing her thing. I would definitely say she has made a big impact.”
Trina is not the only established star to give GloRilla her flowers of late. In a recent interview with GQ, Beyoncé named the Memphis native as one of her current favorite artists.
“I love Doechii and GloRilla, and I just heard That Mexican OT, he’s from Houston…. He goes hard!” she said when asked who she’s been listening to lately.
Rihanna also outed herself as a fan of Big Glo when she pestered the 25-year-old for an update on her then-forthcoming album.
RiRi privately messaged GloRilla on Instagram saying: “You got all summer sis! I know dis wild hypocritical but when the album drop?”
Glo finally released her debut album Glorious last week, boasting a star-studded supporting cast including Megan Thee Stallion, Sexyy Red, Latto, T-Pain and more.
The project is expected to debut in the top five on the Billboard 200 chart with around 60,000 first-week units, per HITSDailyDouble, which would mark a new commercial high for the “Yeah Glo!” hitmaker.

The X Factor has paid tribute to One Direction member Liam Payne following his death yesterday (October 16). The 31 year-old died in a fall in a hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The British group formed in 2010 during their appearance on U.K. version of The X Factor‘s seventh series. During their six-year career, the group went on to have four No.1 albums on the Billboard 200 and six top 10 hits on the Billboard Hot 100.
A post on the TV show’s official social media said: “We are heartbroken by the sad passing of Liam Payne. He was immensely talented and, as part of One Direction, Liam will leave a lasting legacy on the music industry and fans around the world. Our thoughts are with his friends, family and all who loved him.”
One Direction went on an indefinite hiatus in 2016 and the five former members – Payne, Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson – have all embarked on solo careers in the years since.
According to local police, Payne died after falling from a third-floor hotel room in Buenos Aires. Prior to his death, the police received a call from the hotel following reports “of an aggressive man who may have been under the effects of drugs and alcohol”.
The city’s emergency medical services director Alberto Crescenti told local media that Payne had suffered “serious injuries” from his fall, but declined to answer any additional questions in readers to Payne’s fall.
Payne had released one solo album, LP1, in 2019 and said that work had begun on a follow-up. He is survived by one child, Bear, who he shared with former partner Girls Alouds’ Cheryl Cole.
