GloRilla is not here for disrespectful comparisons, making it clear she won’t tolerate being the punchline of internet jokes. The Memphis rapper recently clapped back at social media users who linked her to a viral beauty disaster, letting everyone know she’s not the one to be played with.
The controversy erupted when a woman posted shocking before-and-after photos of herself—one barefaced, and the other with a heavy-handed makeup job that sparked ridicule across social media. Critics slammed the look for its poorly blended foundation, uneven eyeliner, and exaggerated lipstick, likening the result to a child experimenting with their mother’s cosmetics.
As the post gained traction, users on X (formerly Twitter) went a step further by comparing the woman’s final look to GloRilla. And the rapper was quick to respond.
“I’m looking through dem quotes of dat ugly makeup girl & everybody dat say it look like me I’m in yall n**** dm right now,” she wrote, making it clear she was not amused.
Past Makeup Incident Haunts GloRilla
This incident hits close to home for GloRilla, who has previously dealt with backlash over a makeup mishap of her own. Back in October, a beauty school student had the opportunity to work on GloRilla’s face, but the results fell short of the rapper’s expectations.
Unhappy with the final look, GloRilla reportedly asked the artist to remove the photos from social media, explaining that she never consented to their release. As trolls picked apart her appearance, they not only mocked the makeup but also targeted her natural features.
The aspiring makeup artist later expressed her disappointment with GloRilla’s reaction, arguing that the rapper’s harsh criticism was unfair given her status as a beginner trying to hone her craft.
“I’m in shock to even have heard her say that. Like, ‘Why is she proud of that?’ Be for real, you were my first celebrity client. Anybody would have been proud. I’m sure when you got signed, you were proud too… You had time to perfect your craft, just like me.”
Fighting Back Against Online Scrutiny
For GloRilla, this latest round of ridicule underscores the harsh scrutiny women in the public eye face, especially when it comes to their appearance. The internet’s relentless habit of turning minor mishaps into viral moments only amplifies the pressure.
The rapper’s sharp response may have seemed blunt, but it’s a reflection of her frustration at being constantly compared, criticized, and turned into a meme. And for GloRilla, she’s done staying silent when the jokes go too far.
As her career continues to rise, it’s clear that GloRilla is prepared to defend herself against the harsh judgment that comes with fame—whether that means calling out trolls directly or setting the record straight on her own terms.
