GloRilla on Critics Who Claimed Her Career Was Over: 'It Actually Made Me Way Better'
GloRilla has opened up about her feelings towards people, saying her career was over after she had a hot start in 2022.
In her sit-down conversation on 360 with Speedy Morman, Big Glo admitted that she was paying attention to everyone who claimed her moment in the spotlight was up. After breaking onto the scene with "F.N.F. (Let's Go)" in 2022, Glo had a hot run led by "Tomorrow 2" with Cardi B , but the following year fans felt she was running out of steam. According to Glo, she was listening to all the chatter and assumptions about her career, and it only pushed her to get out of her comfort zone.
"I pay attention to it. It feels good actually. I love it, like it help you," said Glo. "Sometimes people need it, like cause sometimes we get comfortable, and sometimes we need to hear people talk shit or criticism and shit and so we can make us remember, 'Ok, I got to get back on my P and turn back up.' So I actually liked it. It actually made me way better."
Glo said that people really started writing her off after dropping her collaborative effort with Cardi B and compared her run to Jeremy Lin's insane two weeks with the New York Knicks back in 2012. According to the Memphis native, hearing people say her career was over only added more fuel to the fire.
"It was really after, I think like 'Tomorrow 2' and shit they was like I had a Linsanity run. I don't even know what that means," she said. "They was like RIP to her career, and that's when I was like, 'Ok, Ima show their ass,' cause I love when people doubt me. Like, I love to prove people wrong. Like all my people, all my staff, they know not to bet against me cause I'm going to win."
GloRilla surely won as she bounced back with a handful of Top 40 songs, including "Yeah Glo!," "Wanna Be" with Megan Thee Stallion," and "TGIF." Her debut album, Glorious, is scheduled to arrive on Friday.
"GLORIOUS da album dropping 10/11 So grateful to be sharing this with y'all and as a little treat I'm blessing y'all with HOLLON tonight at midnight," she wrote. "AYEEEEE."
