Memphis rapper GloRilla recently appeared on "Club Shay Shay," where she discussed her musical influences and dream collaborations. She revealed her top four rappers, Lil Wayne, Drake, Eminem, and Jay-Z, and expressed her admiration for today's rap scene. GloRilla also shared her dream collaborations, including Beyoncé and Drake. She became emotional after receiving a surprise video message from her father, expressing immense pride in her journey. Additionally, she revealed her relationship with rapper Lil Uzi Vert and hinted at a potential collaboration. With her highly anticipated project "Ehhthang Ehhthang" releasing soon, GloRilla is not only making waves in the music industry but also forging a strong personal narrative of family and artistic inspiration.
Shannon Sharpe sat down with rising rap star GloRilla for an in-depth interview discussing her new music, her thoughts on social media, and her experiences working at Checker's.
The interview, which took place at Club Shay Shay, comes as GloRilla's star continues to rise in the music industry. Her latest single, "Glow," has been met with critical acclaim, and she has received support from some of the biggest names in sports, including LeBron James.
In the interview, GloRilla discussed the importance of self-love, stating that she wrote "Glow" to remind herself of who she is amidst the constant chatter on social media.
"I felt like I forgot who I was because people were always talking about me," Glorilla told Shannon. "So I put my feelings into my music instead of responding on social media."
GloRilla also discussed how she deals with criticism, both positive and negative.
"I don't like negativity, but I use it to improve myself," she said. "My friends are honest with me about my music, and I value their criticism."
Glorilla's rise to fame has been meteoric, but she takes it all in stride.
"I don't feel like it was too fast," she said. "Everything happens for a reason. I'm grateful for the support of LeBron James and Shannon Sharpe."
Social media, GloRilla says, is a double-edged sword.
"It's a blessing and a curse," she said. "It can be hard to deal with negativity on social media, but it has also helped my career. I think people tend to follow the lead of others on social media, which can sometimes lead to people disliking a song simply because other people dislike it."
GloRilla also reflected on working at Checker's, a fast-food restaurant chain.
"I used to talk back to customers if they were rude," she said. "But I was a good employee and learned a lot about patience while working there."
The interview concluded with Glorilla discussing her hopes for the future.
"I hope to be still rapping at 30," she said. "I may not be talking about the same things, but I will still be myself."
Glorilla's interview with Shannon Sharpe is a fascinating look at the life of a rising star. Her honesty and insights will resonate with fans of her music and aspiring artists.
