Gloria Velez (December 18, 1978), also known as "Glo", is an American model. In addition to her legendary status as one of the original hip hop video vixens, Velez has also made marks as a rapper & party host. She is cited in "The Game's" song "Wouldn't Get Far" as being a hip hop model that many aspiring models aim to be similar to. [2] Most of Gloria Velez's music video appearances were those of multi-million dollar artists such as Jay-Z,Ja Rule, Dmx, and Dru Hill. Gloria Velez is most known for being the hip hop video model that used a short career to create more careers. The national, and well respected Vibe Magazine presents Gloria Velez as one of the hardest working women in the music video industry. [3]Playboy honored Gloria Velez by distributing "Queen of Clubs" which consists of Gloria hosting a strip club competition. [4] In addition, Gloria Velez is XXL magazine's very first "Eye Candy Of the Year" model[5].
Velez began her career as a back up dancer for the legendary hip hop artist known as "Uncle Luke". [6] It is disputed that Velez began her hip hop vixen career at the mere age of 15. [7] She traveled on tours,where she met Aaron Hall of the R&B classic group "Guy". Vh1 claims that Gloria shares a son, Aaron Hall Jr. with Aaron Hall. [8]. At one point, Gloria Velez had "Aaron's" tattoed on her belly slightly above her private areas. Now, the tattoo is covered with a pacifer. On a now dead website, www.gloriavelez.com, Gloria Velez claimed physical abuse at the hands of Aaron Hall. Through that, Velez was motivated to depend on herself through modeling. To date, Gloria has appeared in the magazines XXL, Low Rider, Latina, XPOZ, Candy, Black Men, and more..[9]

Life
Gloria Velez knew what she wanted to be since she was a young girl, and, during her teenage years, she attended the John Casablancas modeling school, which led her to being signed by the Elite Modeling Agency.[10] Casablancas' school had a contract of exclusivity with Elite Models at the time, and Gloria Velez joined other models, such as Cindy Crawford, as a member of Elite.
She left home at a young age to pursue modeling, and was seen on stage with N'sync and Sisqo.
Rap Career
Velez was discovered, and signed by Tyrone Fyffe. That record deal was short lived ad Velez elected to accept a more promising record deal with Rodney Jenkin's of Dark Child Entertainment. Jenkin's is responsible for the early success of the recording artist, Brandy. Due to problems among Fyffe, and Jenkins Gloria decided to leave them both and she independently released her first CD, "Glory". "Glory" was proceeded by Gloria Velez's first promotional tour.[11]
She continues to record freestyles, and is currently seeking a record deal.
Legal Issues
In 2004, Gloria Velez got into a physical altercation with the rapper Remy Ma. Velez claims that the altercation was a result of jealousy, and envy on Remy's part. Velez walked away with Remy's "chain" which is known as "chain snatching", in result Remy got out of control and physically assaulted the up and coming model. Remy is currently serving a prison bid for shooting her best friend. [12]
Velez has accused Def Jam's Joe Budden of Domestic Abuse. Joe denies those claims. [13]
