Glorilla took to Instagram to defend her recent 2023 BET Awards performance of “Lick or Sum.” Speaking to her fans on the platform, the Memphis rapper argued that she wanted to “be sexy” on the stage. “Y’all wanted me to be up there dancing like Chief Keef,” she joked. “I wanted to be sexy.”

In response to the live stream being shared to The Neighborhood Talk, fans had mixed feelings. One complained “It just wasn’t smooth like it didn’t flow and it had nothing to do with the music.” On the other hand, many fans defended Glorilla’s change of pace. “The way you come in the industry is the way people want you to come out the industry so you betta choose wisely cause that first impression mean everything cause once you switch up from what they used to it might go downhill,” one commented.

Glorilla dropped “Lick or Sum” back in May. The track samples DJ Paul, Juicy J, Lord Infamous, and Project Pat’s 1999 hit “Slob on My Knob.” At the ceremony, Glorilla was nominated for Best New Artist, Best Female Hip Hop Artist, and more.

Glorilla’s performance came ahead of the publication of an interview she did with Rolling Stone, in which she explained how she sets herself apart from other female rappers. “I know a lot of dudes, they won’t ride around listening to no girl that sounds like a girl because they are going to be like, ‘Oh, I’m being pussy,’” GloRilla said. “But they hear me, and now [they say], ‘She slick sound like one of us.’ I say shit that’s for females, but it’s stuff that n-ggas can say in reverse. I actually like going through shit sometimes because it makes me perfect my craft.”

GloRilla Throws It Back To A Dirty South Classic On Her Spicy New Single, ‘Lick Or Sum’

Just over a year after breaking through with her viral hit single, “FNF (Let’s Go),” GloRilla has another summer hit on her hands. On her latest single, “Lick Or Sum,” the new Memphis rap princess channels her fellow Memphis natives Three 6 Mafia over a trippy beat sampling the group’s hit track, “Slob On My Knob.”

On the track, Glo takes charge in the sex game, laying down the laws and delivering scandalous commands.

“Lookin’ like a lick or sum’ / Come and take a lick or sum’ / P*ssy bussin’ like a blick or sum’ / Come here, now let me get some d*ck or sum’,” she raps on the song’s chorus, which contains probably the most printable lyrics of the song.

In the song’s video, she is seen twerking with her girls, dancing in the streets and on the hoods of cars, and also in a salon, where she passes on words of wisdom to other women. Fellow rappers Sexyy Red and Yung Miami make cameos in the video.

Last year proved to be big for Glo, with her viral hits “FNF (Let’s Go)” and the equally catchy “Tomorrow 2.” With “Lick Or Sum,” she’s sure to kill the game with another summer banger.

You can watch the video for “Lick Or Sum” above.

GloRilla Shares Sexy New Video For “Lick Or Sum”

It was just over a year ago that GloRilla burst onto the music scene. She dropped her track “F.N.F. (Let’s Go),” and the rest is history. Produced by Hitkidd, the song quickly gained traction on TikTok, propelling it to reach No. 42 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. It didn’t stop there – “F.N.F. (Let’s Go)” received a gold certification from the RIAA and even scored a Grammy nomination for Best Rap Performance. Most notably, legendary rapper Nas gave a shoutout to GloRilla and her viral hit in his own song “Til My Last Breath.” In the lyrics, he spits, “I’m applying pressure, I see why she pressed / When she with me she GloRilla, FNF.”

However, the release of “F.N.F. (Let’s Go)” wasn’t without its fair share of issues. GloRilla found herself caught up in legal trouble with the song’s producer, Hitkidd. Taking to Twitter, Hitkidd publicly criticized GloRilla, alleging that she and her team attempted to claim full ownership of the track. He also revealed that he had offered advice to GloRilla, but it went unheeded. “I told you… every day we were in LA… that labels would try to sign you because of ‘FNF,’ so watch out,” he continued. “I also told you to keep me informed if labels reach out so we can be on the same page.” Despite the challenges she faced, GloRilla’s life took a turn for the better following the song’s release. Today, GloRilla released another summer banger.

GloRilla Hits The Salon, The Store, And The Streets

Earlier today, GloRilla took some initiative to stand out from all of the new releases that hit on Fridays. Instead, she decided to release her since “Lick Or Sum” on Tuesday. The new track samples Tear Da Club Up Thugs, Three 6 Mafia, and Project Pat’s 2000 hit “Slob On My Nob.” With its extremely explicit lyrics, the song is bound to generate significant attention and become a popular subject of discussion on social media in the upcoming weeks. Whether or not the song will be a hit remains to be seen, but it certainly has the potential.

The song wasn’t all GloRilla blessed fans with today. The new track came along with a visual that was filled to the brim with twerking. It features the rapper meeting up with friends and partying wherever they end up: the salon, the grocery, the streets. The video also shows Glo playfully whispering to the camera during the chorus of the new single. Overall, both the song and the video definitely give off strong summer vibes. What do you think of the new visual? Let us know in the comments below!

In 2022, Memphis-based rap diva GloRilla made her mark on the world thanks to the far-reaching success of “F.N.F. (Let’s Go)” and its remix. On top of that, she also delivered her debut EP, Anyways, Life’s Great… which saw her link up with Cardi B for another fan favourite, “Tomorrow 2.” So far, this year has seen her showing out with equal intensity. We’ve heard her deliver collaborations like “On Wat U On” with Moneybagg Yo and “Internet Trolls” alongside Hitkidd.

On Tuesday (May 23), Big Glo stood out from the New Music Friday crowd with her latest single. “Lick Or Sum” came along with a twerk-filled music video this afternoon. It samples 2000’s “Slob On My Nob” from Tear Da Club Up Thugs, Three 6 Mafia, and Project Pat. Filled with NSFW lyrics, the nearly two-and-a-half-minute-long track is sure to be heavily quoted on social media over the coming weeks.

Quotable Lyrics:

I call that n*gga “Bruh,” his mammy ain’t my mammy
And stop callin’ me sis’, I’m tryna f*ck yo’ baby daddy
Get head from his cousin too, I keep it in the family
He fold me like a pretzel, I’m his Auntie Annie
