Young Thug Calls GloRilla “Ugly” On Leaked Jail Call, Glo Responds

The latest leaked call from Young Thug‘s time behind bars during his RICO trial finds him disparaging Memphis rapper GloRilla, calling her “ugly” in a mean spirited rant to girlfriend, Mariah The Scientist

The call begins with Thugger calling the “Typa” rapper “ugly as f**k” before Mariah tells him that some people believe she looks like Rihanna. Thug scoffs at the comparison, describing Glo as having a “long a** bullsh*t a** wig,” and calling her “skinny sh*t,” with a “god*amn big a** head, big mouth… I would not pursue her, like at all… that sh*t ain’t nun.”

At one point, the “Burning Blue” singer says she doesn’t believe men would approach GloRilla if she were a “regular” girl and wasn’t famous. Listen to the jail call snippet below.

GloRilla was quick to respond to the leaked insults, claiming that Young Thug called her repeatedly at one point to compliment her eyes.

“Mind you dis da same ni**a blowing my phone up to ask what color my eyes is lmaooo,” she wrote on X. See the post below.

Whether or not Thug finds Glo attractive, she’s seemingly bagged herself an NBA star in Brandon Ingram, as the pair have been spotted together at least three times in the last few weeks, most recently on Ingram’s birthday post via Instagram. They were also spotted together during GloRilla’s Cabo San Lucas birthday celebration in July.

Hours after Glo’s response, Young Thug issued an apology.

“@GloTheofficial first of all I’m sorry to u for my words and I honestly don’t think ur ugly at all, I was speaking from jail just having a hard time with life.. I don’t like bashing girls and hardly ever did.. I’m sorry to u twin.”

In addition to speaking on the “TGIF” rapper, leaked calls from Young Thug’s time jail also found him confessing to buying fake streams for Gunna, calling Gucci Mane “soft,” and bashing Kendrick Lamar for turning down his feature request.

Prince’s estate responds to Apollonia’s “frivolous lawsuit”

Prince‘s estate has responded to singer-songwriter Apollonia’s lawsuit, dismissing it as “frivolous” and “unwarranted”.

The US artist, actor and former model (real name Patricia Apollonia Kotero) starred in Prince’s classic 1984 film Purple Rain, portraying his love interest who has the name Apollonia.

She recently filed a 14-page complaint against the late icon’s estate, Paisley Park Enterprises, in a Los Angeles federal court, accusing them of “attempting to steal” her name.

Kotero claims in the suit that, after appearing in Purple Rain, Prince never asked her to stop going by the name Apollonia, and did not “contend that the name did not belong to her either personally or professionally” (via Rolling Stone).

She alleges it was on the contrary, and that “Prince himself consented to and encouraged Apollonia in her professional endeavors” under that name. Kotero has now used the name for over four decades and released numerous projects using the alias.

Her legal team claims that Prince’s estate was out of line when it tried to claim ownership of the Apollonia trademark in June. She alleges that the estate filed an “intent-to-use” application that would allow it to use the name in connection with clothing and entertainment services.

Kotero has also claimed that Paisley Park Enterprises has made moves to try and cancel her trademark applications and registrations, despite her being the “rightful owner”.

Now, the estate has responded via a written statement posted on Prince’s official social media channels. “Regrettably, Ms. Patty Kotero a/k/a ‘Apollonia’ filed a frivolous lawsuit,” it began.

“As she acknowledges, Apollonia is the name Prince gave to the character played by Ms. Kotero in Prince’s movie, Purple Rain, over forty years ago. We never instructed her to cease using her adopted professional name, nor did we object to her business activities.”

It continued: “In fact, we repeatedly offered her opportunities to perform at Paisley Park using this professional name.

“Ms. Kotero’s unwarranted lawsuit comes at the tail end of years-long disputes before the Trademark Trial & Appeal Board concerning trademark registrations, in which rulings are imminent and with respect to which we have sought a settlement numerous times despite her highly unreasonable demands.

“Unsurprisingly, her suit fails to acknowledge the cancellation of her APOLLONIA registration by the United States Patent & Trademark Office.”

The statement concluded: “We look forward to the rulings in the pending trademark proceedings and a dismissal of Ms. Kotero’s recent federal action. As is our duty, we will continue to protect and preserve Prince’s assets and legacy.” See the post above.

Kotero lawsuit states that “all of the goodwill associated with the name and trademark ‘Apollonia’ for the past four decades is attributable to plaintiff”. It added: “There is only one Apollonia, and Apollonia is the source of the goods and services provided under this name.”

The complaint also suggests that the estate claimed that Kotero waived her rights to the name in 1983 when she signed a contract for her role in Purple Rain. Contesting this, Kotero’s lawsuit claims that, even if that were true, it was “never enforced” and that the “alleged rights” would have expired by now.

Additionally, the filing states that she and Prince were “lifelong friends”, and she both co-wrote The Bangles’ hit ‘Manic Monday’ with him and provided vocals on his song ‘Take Me With U’ using the stage name.

Jack White Responds to Trump Official Calling Him a “Washed-Up, Has-Been Loser”

Jack White Responds to Trump Official Calling Him a “Washed-Up, Has-Been Loser”

Jack White is a longtime critic of President Donald J. Trump and his administration, and the musician has even taken legal action against the politician and his campaign. The latest chapter in the saga of White vs. White House came earlier this week when the White Stripes rocker insulted Trump’s redecoration of the Oval Office, saying that it now looks like “a vulgar, gold leafed and gaudy, professional wrestler’s dressing room.” The barb elicited a response from Steven Cheung, the White House communications director, who told The Daily Beast that White is “a washed up, has-been loser posting drivel on social media because he clearly has ample time on his hands due to his stalled career.”

Cheung further defended his boss’ aesthetic choices, telling the outlet: “It’s apparent he’s been masquerading as a real artist, because he fails to appreciate, and quite frankly disrespects, the splendor and significance of the Oval Office inside of ‘The People’s House.’”

The war of words continued yesterday (August 20), with White sharing a lengthy statement against Trump and his administration on Instagram. White criticized Trump’s “blatant fascist manipulation of government, his gestapo ICE tactics, his racist remarks about Latinos, Native Americans, etc. his ridiculous ‘wall’ construction, his attacks on the disabled, his attempted coup and mob insurrection and destruction of the sacred halls of congress,” and plenty more. He went on to use Cheung’s words against Trump, writing that the president “is masquerading as a human being,” and “masquerading as a christian, as a leader, as a person with actual empathy.”

Several artists—including Margo Price and Michigander’s Jason Singer—have supported White in the comments on his post. “You hit a fuckin’ nerve ‘cuz they don’t put out statements this length for earthquakes and shootings,” Patton Oswalt wrote. “Keep going.” Cat Power’s Chan Marshall added, “LOVE YOU JACK❤️‍🔥.”
