GloRilla – the rising star from Memphis, Tennessee – took the music world by storm in 2022 with her viral hit song F.N.F. (Let’s Go) on TikTok. Born Gloria Woods on July 28, 1999, she started rapping at the young age of 16 and released her first mixtape, Most Likely Up Next, in 2019.
The success of her track F.N.F. (Let’s Go) catapulted GloRilla to fame, leading to the birth of the #FNFChallenge on social media. This achievement also earned her two nominations at the 2022 BET Hip Hop Awards, where she showcased her talent through a powerful performance.
In a monumental moment, GloRilla collaborated with Bronx rapper Cardi B for the song Tomorrow 2, showcasing her versatility as an artist. Her commitment to giving back to her community was evident when she returned to her former high school in Memphis, where she performed at a homecoming event and donated $25,000 to establish a music program.
In June 2023, GloRilla achieved another milestone by being inducted into the prestigious XXL Freshmen Class, solidifying her status as a rising star in the music industry. With over 5 million followers on Instagram and 13 million monthly listeners on Spotify, she has built a strong and dedicated fan base.
However, in April 2024, GloRilla faced a setback when she was arrested in Gwinnett County, Georgia, on suspicion of DUI. Despite this incident, her talent and determination continue to shine through, as evidenced by her historic signing with Yo Gotti’s CMG Imprint on July 5, 2022.
Standing at a height of 1.68m (5′ 6″), GloRilla’s presence and charisma on stage captivate audiences, making her standout in the male-dominated hip-hop scene. Her popular songs such as Yeah Glo! (2024), TGIF (2024), and Wanna Be Remix (2024) featuring Megan Thee Stallion and Cardi B have further cemented her position as an emerging powerhouse in the music industry.
As GloRilla continues to evolve as an artist and expand her musical repertoire, her journey towards superstardom remains a captivating story to follow.
