GloRilla and Sexyy Red are not opposed to doing a joint project together following their success on numerous collaborations.
The pair sat down to interview each other for XXL about their respective banner years in a conversation published on Tuesday (December 17). With questions written by the publication’s writers, Sexyy at one point asked Glo what a joint project would sound like – and their wheels got to turning.
“Ratchet as fuck,” Glo replied, with Sexyy agreeing. “It gon’ be some super ratchet shit. The n-ggas gon’ hate us. No, I mean the men gon’ hate us.
Sexyy thinks the men would love it, though, noting: “Because we both trench-certified, you know? Two young ladies.”

Before venturing off to another topic, Glo concluded: “You know we gotta do it.” They did not discuss the idea further, however.
To GloRilla’s point about the men likely hating it, 50 Cent recently shared his thoughts on today’s mainstream female rappers – and suggested there’s a lack of balance when it comes to substance versus sex appeal.
“I just want somebody to break [through] that is not trying to sell some box,” he admitted with a smirk in an interview with comedian and radio personality Michael Perry. “I just need one!”

He even claimed that the increasing dominance of hyper-sexualized rap music “might be damaging female culture. Seriously.”
Fif acknowledged that he, too, was guilty of making raunchy records in his heyday, but argued there’s one major difference between what he was doing then and what female rappers are doing today.
“I was doing ‘Candy Shop’ and ‘Magic Stick,’ like metaphors for sexual experiences. They are flat-out saying the experience in the music now,” he said.
Hip Hop has seen a surge in sex-positive female rappers in recent years, from Megan Thee Stallion and Latto to Ice Spice and Sexyy Red.

Established acts like Nicki Minaj and Cardi B have also enjoyed continued success with their brand of sexually-charged music, topping the Billboard Hot 100 with “Super Freaky Girl” and “WAP,” respectively.
However, as fans were quick to remind 50 Cent on social media, artists like Doja Cat and the rapidly-rising Doechii have also broken through while taking a different approach to their music and identity.
50 isn’t the first rapper to levy such a critique, with fellow New Yorker Fabolous previously complaining that today’s female rappers were too one-dimensional.
GloRilla later clapped back at Fab in a GQ cover story, challenging his critique by pointing out the negativity in male rappers’ content: “What men rap about? Killing, fucking, robbing, cars, money.”

“Females rapping about the same shit,” she continued. “But guess what? We’re not killing. We’re not in gangs. We’re not robbing. That’s what men be doing. What we doing? We’re sitting pretty, we’re popping our shit, we’re hustling, we’re getting money. We fuck, so we rap about what we do.”
