Coming up on the horizon, GloRilla has been nominated seven times at October’s 2024 BET Hip Hop Awards. She previously won Best Breakthrough Hip Hop Artist at the awards in 2022. In September, GloRilla received the key to the city of Memphis for her musical achievements. She spent the summer opening for Megan Thee Stallion’s sold-out Hot Girl Summer tour and has been invited to serve as a presenter at the ESPYs, iHeartRadio Music Awards, and Billboard Women in Music.
GloRilla’s breakout hit, “F.N.F. (Let’s Go),” was nominated for Best Rap Performance at the 2023 Grammy Awards. Soon after, her collaboration with Cardi B, “Tomorrow 2,” debuted in the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100.
