These 7 companies landed New Mexico science and technology startup grantsGloRilla has earned the top spot on Billboard's "The 10 Hottest Female Rappers of 2024" list, sparking debate online as to whether she deserved the placement. In doing so, she beat out Megan Thee Stallion , Nicki Minaj , Doechii, and several more popular artists. Billboard begins by noting that GloRilla had a bit of a slump in 2023, after her singles “Cha Cha” and “Pop It” failed to pick up much traction. "Instead of giving up, GloRilla made a triumphant comeback and reclaimed her mojo when she struck gold with ' Yeah Glo!' at the top of 2024," the outlet wrote. "The swaggering track zoomed into the top 30 of the Hot 100 and showcased her resiliency as a rapper who refuses to buckle under pressure. Her torrid streak continued with the top 15 Hot 100 record 'Wanna Be' featuring Megan Thee Stallion and the summer hit 'TGIF.'” Read More: GloRilla Goes Off On Rod Wave For Dropping On The Same Day As Her GloRilla opens for Megan Thee Stallion during her 'Hot Girl Summer Tour' at the Moody Center in Austin Thursday, June 13, 2024. © Mikala Compton/American-Statesman / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images Billboard continued: "Despite being an opener on her rap bestie Megan Thee Stallion’s Hot Girl Summer Tour this past Spring, she has been giving headliner energy , becoming a blockbuster name within months. Everyone felt GloRilla’s momentum, as pop behemoths Rihanna and Taylor Swift applauded her efforts, saluting her as rap’s newest 'IT' girl of the moment. Kamala Harris even phoned her up at the tail-end of her campaign to win over youth voters during her run against Trump." When The Neighborhood Talk shared the ranking, fans launched into debate in the comments section. Sexyy Red , who landed at No. 4 on the list, congratulated her in response. "Congratulations @glorillapimp," she wrote, while also posting, "Dangggggggg." Both comments had heart-eye emojis. Check out the full list below.

The No. 18 Gators will begin to gauge their considerable potential during this week’s ESPN Events Invitational in Kissimmee. UF (6-0) opens at 2:30 p.m. Thursday against Wake Forest (6-1) aiming to avenge a November 2023 loss to the Demon Deacons. Minnesota (5-1) and Wichita State (5-0) meet at noon, with the winners and losers squaring off Friday at the intimate, 5,000-seat State Farm Field House. “This 48 hours down in Orlando will give us a good experience to see what we’re made of in a different setting, playing two games back to back,” coach Todd Golden said Tuesday. The Gators last appeared in the event in 2016 when it featured eight teams, finishing third during a season that ended at the 2017 Elite Eight. Golden’s third Florida team could have the make-up for a postseason run. Before opening SEC play Jan. 4 at Kentucky, the Gators will have several growth opportunities, beginning with this week’s event followed by a Dec. 4 visit from Virginia and neutral-floor matchups with Arizona State (Dec. 14, Atlanta) and North Carolina (Dec. 17, Charlotte). “It’s a start of hopefully a little run in the next few weeks, when we have this tough schedule,” sophomore post player Alex Condon said. Following Friday’s 93-68 win against Southern Illinois, FAU transfer Alijah Martin said the Gators boast superior talent and depth to the Owls’ 2023 Final Four squad . Each aspect will be tested during consecutive games against quality opponents as UF seeks its first 7-0 start since 2012-13, when the Gators also reached the Elite Eight. The current Gators have proven to have a lot of pieces and answers winning by an average of 20.3 points. Five different players have led UF in scoring, with four averaging double figures — led by Martin (16.7 points per game) and Walter Clayton Jr. (16.5). Martin also leads the Gators in rebounding (6.7) and is second in assists (3.5) to Clayton (4.2). The 6-foot-2, 210-pound Martin, who has 12 steals, also sets the tone for a defense determined to improve after allowing 79.7 points — more than any Florida team other than the 1974-75 Gators who finished 12-16 under John Lotz. “He brings it defensively, which is a little bit different from last year,” Condon said. “It’s awesome to have, just bringing that dog mindset.” Martin is sure to cross paths Thursday with Wake Forest star Hunter Sallis, who scored 24 points to help his team erase a nine-point deficit during the second half of an 82-71 home win against the Gators last season. The 6-foot-5, 185-pound guard averages a team-leading 18.9 points and 4.3 assists. Everything runs through Sallis and senior Cameron Hildreth, a 6-foot-4, 195-pound guard averaging 11 points and 4.3 assists. “They are able to play with the ball in their hands quite a bit,” Golden said. “Those two guys make a majority of their decisions, whether it’s in transition or in the pick-and-roll.” The 6-foot-11, 230-pound Condon said the Gators will be ready for the Demon Deacons’ 1-2 punch after last year’s defeat. “Everyone who’s returning is carrying a chip on their shoulder,” he said. “We really need this game.” Edgar Thompson can be reached at egthompson@orlandosentinel.com Up next ...
