GloRilla Gives The Middle Finger To ‘Internet Trolls’ On Her Empowering New Anthem
GloRilla is back with her empowering brand new song, “Internet Trolls,” which serves as a pushback anthem against exactly that: the online haters.
“You could be who you wanna be, live how you wanna live / Stunt how you wanna stunt, give what you ‘posed to give / Say what you wanna say, feel how you wanna feel,” Glo notes in the first verse. “Sometimes, I think they be forgettin’ the internet a fairytale / Teach that n**** for the people, but in person, he a b*tch / They be gangster on the booth, but in them papers be a snitch.”
As for the music video, it finds GloRilla tracking down her e-haters and teaching them a lesson — without any major spoilers here.
Long story short: nothing online matters. Log off. Have some real fun with your besties. And ignore anyone who has a problem with it.
She had previously teased the heavy-hitting track in a video clip from Triller, where she dances around a room and shows off her decked-out rings.

GloRilla Teases a Lap Dance with Polow Da Don On Stage Before During ‘Anyways, Life’s Great’ Tour
GloRilla launched her “Anyways, Life’s Great” tour by luring super-producer Polow Da Don onto the stage, tying his hands behind his back, taunting him with sexy inquiries, and pump-fake a lap dance before declaring that he seems like the sort to “Nut Quick.”
Following that, GloRilla performed “Nut Quick” from her debut EP “Anyways, Life’s Great…,” which is available for streaming below via CMG/Interscope Records.
Before GloRilla makes her first-ever performance at the Grammys, where she is nominated for “Best Rap Performance,” she embarks on a sold-out tour. The Memphis native’s rapid ascent earned her a nomination for “Favorite Female Hip-Hop Artist” at the American Music Awards as well as the “Breakthrough Artist” Award at the 2022 BET HipHop Awards.
With her song “Tomorrow 2” featuring Cardi B, GloRilla recently scored her second No. 1 at U.S. Urban Radio in Dec. 2022. Previously, in Aug. 2022, when her breakthrough hit “FNF (Let’s Go)” climbed to No. 1 on the U.S. Urban Radio chart, she accomplished the feat of topping the charts.

GloRilla Cuts Off Loved Ones Who Try To Use Her For Money
She may be a newcomer on the Hip Hop block, but GloRilla has already earned her first Grammy nomination. Inking a record deal with Yo Gotti’s CMG has been quite lucrative for the Memphis star, but as many other artists have said, all that glitters isn’t gold. Don’t get us wrong; GloRilla has enjoyed every fruit of her hard-earned labor. However, she told The Cut that not everyone appreciates her efforts, and some see her as a cash register.
“They be on my ass,” she slightly jokingly said about her hectic schedule. “They be tellin’ me, ‘You still gotta do it. There’s no one else.’”

“Me blowing up changed a lot. Like 50 percent of my family…” the rapper said before seemingly not wanting to continue. “I really don’t even care to talk about it.”
“Money change the people around you,” GloRilla shared. “It don’t change you, per se. It fasho change people around you, though.” She further made it clear that ending relationships with people who only see her as a come-up isn’t a concern.

“I don’t got a problem cutting people off, and I don’t know if that’s a good thing or a bad thing. But I have no problem cutting people off once I see what type of stuff they be on,” GloRilla also said.
“They just got to go. Because it ain’t no room for that no more. I’m on a whole ’nother level now, and if you’re still on bullsh*t, then I just don’t want to talk to you.”
Elsewhere she added, “But I’m just super-grateful. And it happened to me superfast. I’m still taking it all in.”
Moneybagg Yo, GloRilla, And More React To Tyre Nichols’ Death
It’s been nearly two weeks since news broke about Tyre Nichols’ death. The 29-year-old died after succumbing to his injuries after being severely beaten by five Memphis police officers at a traffic stop. Nichols’ death, similar to George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and countless others has enraged the nation, causing many discussions about state violence and the institutional racism embedded in police organizations. Several celebrities, artists, and athletes including, Memphis rappers Moneybagg Yo and GloRilla, have spoken about Nichols’ unjust death. More are sure to follow.
Moneybagg took to social media to offer a message to Nichols’ family and the city of Memphis. “Praying for the family of Tyre Nichols,” the rapper wrote on Instagram. “Also praying for our city. #JusticeForTyre.”
GloRilla, another Memphis native, reposted Moneybagg’s post on her Instagram story before making a post of her own. The “F.N.F” rapper posted a message that read “Justice For Tyre Nichols” with a caption containing a broken heart emoji with several prayer hands.
Ari Lennox shared a post on her Instagram story that read, “Justice for Tyre. Praying for his family and friends and the Memphis community.”
NBA stars like LeBron James and Chris Paul also chimed in with some thoughts about the unfortunate situation. “WE ARE OUR OWN WORSE ENEMY!!!” James tweeted regarding the five officers who attacked Nichols, all of which were Black.
