GloRilla’s spectacular 2024 success story started with a critical tweet from a fan in 2023. Here’s how she turned negativity into triumph:
- A fan’s 2023 tweet claimed GloRilla had ‘fallen off.’
- GloRilla used the criticism as motivation to fuel her comeback.
- 2024 saw GloRilla dropping hit singles that rocked the Billboard charts.
- Rihanna even slid into GloRilla’s DMs to praise her work.
- GloRilla received a key to her hometown, Memphis, on ‘901 Day.’
GloRilla credited a critical tweet from 2023 as the spark for her incredible year in 2024. The tweet had claimed she had ‘fallen off so fast and bad,’ but GloRilla didn’t let that define her.
She shared the tweet and her reaction on X (formerly known as Twitter), saying, ‘dis post ain’t do shit but put a battery in my back i needed dat. don’t let dese people write yo story for you, Keep going !!!’ The post became her mantra for a major comeback.
After losing some momentum in 2023 and even dealing with negative feedback on her song ‘Cha Cha Cha,’ GloRilla roared back in 2024. Her singles ‘Yeah Glo!’ and ‘Wanna Be’ with Megan Thee Stallion both became top 40 hits on the Billboard Hot 100.
Her track ‘TGIF’ went viral, and it even caught the attention of Rihanna, who messaged GloRilla, saying, ‘You got all summer sis! I know dis wild hypocritical but when the album drop?’ This kind of praise from such a high-profile artist was a huge affirmation.
As if that weren’t enough, GloRilla was honored with a key to Memphis on ‘901 Day,’ a celebration of the city’s area code. This special recognition was attended by Memphis Mayor Paul Young and rapper Kia Shine, making it a day to remember for the young artist.
GloRilla’s year has been nothing short of inspiring, turning criticism into fuel for greatness.
