GloRilla & Megan Thee Stallion’s “Wanna Be” Lives Up To The Hype & Then Some

by

“Go Meg Go Meg Go Meg.” “Get ’em Glo Get ’em Glo Get ’em Glo.” That is going to be in our heads all day and the day after that. Those are the lyrics from GloRilla and Megan Thee Stallion’s first-ever collaboration “Wanna Be.” The track was teased earlier this week and a day or two before the Memphis rapper announced her new mixtape.

Ehhthang Ehhthang is the second project overall from her, and her first LP. GloRilla secretly began the rollout for this offering back in February with the viral hit “Yeah Glo!” It has since taken the internet by storm and it led her to some incredible opportunities like meeting LeBron James. Additionally, Big Glo is going to be heading out on tour this summer with her “Wanna Be” sidekick, Megan Thee Stallion.

Listen To “Wanna Be” By GloRilla & Megan Thee Stallion

The snippet we heard sounded like it had incredible potential to be a party banger for the ages. Part of the reason for that were those chants were mentioned at the beginning, but also the sample. This track pays its respects to Soulja Boy’s “Pretty Boy Swag” and it does the original justice. Both rappers deliver cutthroat performances about moving away from toxic men and their flows float over the updated instrumental. You can check out the accompanying rowdy music video above.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new song, “Wanna Be,” by GloRilla and Megan Thee Stallion? Is this the best track on Ehhthang Ehhthang, why or why not? What is your favorite element of the track and why? Who had the stronger performance on the record? Is this new mixtape from Glo her best body of work? Is this the best music video of the year?

Quotable Lyrics:

Ready, whole night I’m comin’ like Freddy (Like Freddy)
I’m mother, and you know my trick is your daddy (Your daddy)
Clock that tea, b****, catch it
You look like a discount me on Etsy (Ayy)
I’m the female titan, I’m steppin’ on b****es
I’m showin’ my t***ies, I tore up the city

GloRilla and Megan Thee Stallion’s “Wanna Be” video find the two rappers crashing a raucous frat party where they show off their dance moves and prove that they are two of a kind. While Glo asserts her dominance over men, Meg lashes out at fake friends and again flaunts her anime geek bonafides with a reference to the ultraviolent Attack On Titan.

“Wanna Be” appears on GloRilla’s new mixtape, EhhThang EhhThang, which also features appearances from Boston Richey, Finesse 2x, Kevo Muney, and Moneybagg Yo. The Memphis rapper’s latest arrives on wave of posivite press generated by her down-to-earth interviews and relatable, unpolished charm. Glo was also recently tapped to accompany Megan on her upcoming Hot Girl Summer Tour, strengthening the two rappers’ chemistry and their reputations as girls’ girls.

Meanwhile, Megan is on the comeback trail after severing her previous record deal with 1501 Certified. She’s hard at work on her first independent album and out to prove that she can really rap, but that doesn’t mean she isn’t finding time to have a little fun, as well.

GloRilla Dreams of Cardi B and Nicki Minaj Coming Together on New Song "Aite"

GloRilla may be the woman to unite the ladies of Hip-Hop. Speaking on “Aite” from her Ehhthang Ehhthang album, GloRilla dreams of a day where Nicki Minaj and Cardi B could collaborate.

“I just pray one day the bad bitches would come together
‘Cause Cardi and Nicki on a track would break some fuckin’ records”

You can hear the single below.

GloRilla Calls For Cardi B And Nicki Minaj To End Their Beef And Unite For The Good Of Music On ‘Aite’

by

Here’s an exercise: Hop on social media and look for a post about Cardi B or Nicki Minaj. Go to the comments of the post, and the odds are that you will see a comment disparaging one or both of the two rappers. Cardi and Minaj’s beef, and that between their fans, is one of the strongest in music, but GloRilla wishes it wasn’t so.

On “Aite,” from her new mixtape Ehhthang Ehhthang, GloRilla envisions a world where the two would put their differences aside and make a banger together. On the song’s second verse, Glo raps, “I just pray one day the bad b*tches would come together / ‘Cause Cardi and Nicki on a track would break some f*ckin’ records.” Later in the verse, she raps, “They treat this sh*t like competition, I see it as art / Sh*t’ll be platinum in the hood but it won’t see the charts” (“they” referring to people in general, not Cardi and Nicki specifically).

Speaking of big-time collaborations, Ehhthang Ehhthang sees GloRilla work with Megan Thee Stallion on “Wanna Be.”

Listen to “Aite” above.

GloRilla Clarifies Why She Blocked Kai Cenat: “People Don’t Understand I Play Too Much”

by

Remember when Kai Cenat blasted “Cha Cha Cha” by GloRilla and Fivio Foreign on live stream? Apparently that was all a ruse! The Memphis rapper recently cleared the air surrounding that viral moment a few months ago in a new interview with Shannon Sharpe. It was conducted on the former NFL star’s hit podcast Club Shay Shay. The chat was a good get for the sports analyst, as GloRilla has a lot of exciting things happening in her career at the moment. But diving back into the Kai Cenat blocking situation, she explained the true intent behind it, according to AllHipHop.

When GloRilla spoke about it being all for show, she was not letting anyone’s imaginations run wild while giving her response. She really seems to be telling the honest truth. “That was a whole joke. That wasn’t serious,” she said. “People don’t understand I play too much, and I don’t understand that people don’t know me and don’t know I play too much.”

GloRilla Says Blocking Kai “Was A Whole Joke”

Her close friends were well aware that blocking Kai Cenat was nothing to take seriously. However, Glo did not realize at the time that everyone else was going to be confused by it. Another viral moment from this episode was when Glo went into full fangirl mode over seeing LeBron James support “Yeah Glo!” “LeBron knew the words. I watch LeBron rap songs and not know the words for real. He knew ‘Yeah Glo!’”

What are your thoughts on GloRilla saying that blocking Kai Cenat was a joke? Are you buying that they are cool with each other, why or why not?

GloRilla Cried Real Tears When Surprised With A Touching Video Of Her Dad Expressing Pride For His ‘Baby’

by

GloRilla recently visited Club Shay Shay and reacted to LeBron James rapping along to “Yeah Glo!” At the time, GloRilla said, “My whole family, they big on sports. My dad and my brothers, and so it felt like a family trophy to me because they love this sh*t. Like, they watch this sh*t all day, and so all them was like, ‘You got LeBron singing your song?!’” The Memphis rapper added, “Nobody could tell me sh*t. I got LeBron’s co-sign. LeBron don’t co-sign [just] anybody.”

But nobody’s co-sign means more to GloRilla than her father’s.

Also this week, GloRilla stopped by the Tamron Hall Show and was brought to tears when Hall surprised her with a video from her father, Edwin C. Woods Sr.

“I’m the father of GloRilla, otherwise known as my baby, Gloria Woods,” he said. “I am very proud of my daughter. She has risen from humble beginnings to going to The White House. I am extremely proud of Gloria and may she have many, many more days of success.”

Meanwhile, GloRilla was crying real tears in the studio. “I love my dad so much,” she said. “He’s like one of the closest people to my heart. I love my dad.”

Glo touched on several other topics with Hall, including her collaboration with Megan Thee Stallion, the origin of her birth name (Gloria Hallelujah Woods), her gospel roots, and her recent trip to The White House, which resulted in a viral video with President Joe Biden.

GloRilla Does Not Regret Flirting With Damian Lillard, But She Won’t Say If Anything Happened Afterward

by

During the 2024 NBA All-Star Weekend in February, GloRilla posed alongside Milwaukee Bucks All-Star point guard Damian Lillard and posted the photo on X (formerly Twitter). The since-deleted posts read, “Who n**** dis is? Cause I want him #GetEmGlo” and “Whoever she is can’t whoop me so I really dgaf.”

On Wednesday, April 3, GloRilla appeared on the latest episode of Club Shay Shay. Host Shannon Sharpe acknowledged GloRilla had “shot one of those Steph Curry shots” in the form of flirtation toward Dame and asked, “Did it go in?” GloRilla awkwardly giggled before expertly avoiding actually answering the question, saying, “The halfcourt shot? You know, at the end of the day, the day gon’ end.” Sharpe’s last-ditch effort (“It went in”) to get an admission was met with more ambiguous giggles.

In early March, TMZ asked Lillard about whether he had “seen GloRilla shoot her shot.” Lillard chuckled and said, “Man, shout-out to GloRilla, man.” But when asked whether he had reached out or had any contact with Glo, Lillard politely shut it down, saying, “No comment, my brother.”

Lillard was traded from Portland to Milwaukee last October. Days later, the eight-time All-Star and his wife, Kay’La Lillard, filed for divorce. The former couple were college sweethearts and share three children. In February, Lillard described the past several months as “the hardest transition in my life, all things considered,” as per Yahoo Sports’ Vincent Goodwill.

GloRilla Judged LeBron James’ Rapping Skills In Reaction To His ‘Yeah Glo!’ Video

by

LeBron James impressed Metro Boomin when he rapped along to Kendrick Lamar’s “Like That” verse during warmups ahead of the Los Angeles Lakers’ win over the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday, March 31. GloRilla heaped more praise onto the ever-expanding LeBron James Praise Pile during the latest episode of Club Shay Shay.

Host Shannon Sharpe asked for GloRilla’s reaction to James posting a video of him dancing and rapping along to her February single “Yeah Glo!” The Memphis rapper explained that she found out about it while getting a massage and noticing her phone “blow up” on the “little massage table” and initially blowing it off before finally looking and seeing that “everybody [was] calling me, like, ‘LeBron just posted your song!’”

GloRilla said she “instantly reposted it,” and then she hit up Rodeo Drive to get something to wear to the Lakers’ game that night because “this is one of the best — not one of the best — this is the best player in the league right now.” Glo paused to clarify that the late Kobe Bryant is her favorite player, but James is second.

Sharpe rained on her parade, saying, “He ain’t know not one word.” GloRilla countered with, “He knew the words! He did! I done watched LeBron rap songs and not know the words for real. He knew ‘Yeah Glo!’ He probably ain’t say, like, certain words, but that was good for him because he don’t be knowing songs for real. He knew more words than usual when he was singing ‘Yeah Glo!’”

GloRilla Ecstatic About LeBron’s Co-sign Of “Yeah Glo!” & Jokes About How He Only Knows Her Song’s Lyrics

GloRilla continues to thrive in 2024 for a number of reasons. The Memphis rapper started off the year with a bang due to her single “Yeah Glo!” Its messages of self-affirmation are something that everyone can get down with. It has also proven to be quite the workout track. LeBron James was bumping it loud and proud during one of his famous and rigorous training sessions. The King is known for supporting rappers across the genre, regardless of how bad he is at remembering lyrics. Glo eventually caught wind of the Lakers superstar messing with the song and they would wind up meeting in person. LeBron and his support for GloRilla and “Yeah Glo!” was a topic brought up in conversation with Shannon Sharpe.

She was the most recent guest on his hit podcast Club Shay Shay and a clip from it is gaining some attention. GloRilla is also hip to the fact that James has a foggy memory when it comes lyrics, and she made quite a funny joke about it. “LeBron knew the words. I watch LeBron rap songs and not know the words for real. He knew ‘Yeah Glo!’”
