GloRilla has achieved a significant milestone by becoming the inaugural brand ambassador for all four of Rihanna’s Fenty brands: Savage X Fenty, Fenty Beauty, Fenty Skin, and the upcoming Fenty Hair. This comprehensive partnership is showcased in the “Glo Up Close” campaign, marking her debut in this multifaceted role.
GloRilla’s Meteoric Rise in Hip-Hop
Born Gloria Hallelujah Woods on July 28, 1999, in Memphis, Tennessee, GloRilla began her musical journey in 2019 with the release of her mixtape “Most Likely Up Next,” followed by her EP “P Status” in 2020. Her breakthrough came in 2022 with the viral hit “F.N.F. (Let’s Go)” in collaboration with Hitkidd, which peaked within the top 50 of the Billboard Hot 100 and earned her a Grammy nomination for Best Rap Performance. This success led to her signing with fellow Memphis rapper Yo Gotti’s label, Collective Music Group, in July 2022.
Following this, GloRilla released “Tomorrow,” which gained further traction with a remix featuring Cardi B, becoming her first top-ten hit on the Billboard Hot 100. Her debut EP, “Anyways, Life’s Great,” released in November 2022, entered the Billboard 200 at number 11. In 2024, she continued her ascent with singles like “Yeah Glo!” and “Wanna Be” featuring Megan Thee Stallion, both charting within the top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100. Her debut studio album, “Glorious,” released in 2024, peaked at number five, solidifying her place in the hip-hop industry.
