GloRilla is set to punctuate her banner year with the release of her debut album, which she just revealed will be arriving next month.
Sharing the news with Extra TV while on the red carpet at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards on Wednesday (September 11), Glo also gave a hint at the album title.

“I’m dropping an album next month, in October,” she said. “I’m so excited about that. We gon’ go number one! [The title] starts with a G.”
The LP follows the Memphis native’s mixtape Ehhthang Ehhthang, which dropped in April. The 12-track project features appearances from Moneybagg Yo, Megan Thee Stallion, Kevo Money, Real Boston Richey and Finesse2Tymes.

GloRilla also hit the stage at the VMAs to perform “TGIF” – and almost suffered an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction when an outfit reveal nearly resulted in her showing off just a bit too much.
As she removed her suit to showcase a bikini, her bra top almost slipped off, but luckily one of her backup dancers caught the almost-slip before the rapper showed it all on national television.

The rest of the performance went off without a hitch.
It’s been quite the year for Big Glo, and she recently gave credit to a 2023 post from a fan that said she’d fallen off as to how she has been so successful.

Taking to X on Wednesday (September 4), Glo posted an October 2023 tweet that read: “Glorilla fell off so fast and bad [crying emojis].”
With a retweet, she shared her testimony.

“I remember bookmarking dis & telling myself ‘Dey gotchu fucked up so bad,’” she wrote. “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 !!!”
GloRilla achieved major success with her 2022 breakout single “FNF,” then followed it up with another successful single “Tomorrow.” Cardi B hopped on the latter and made it even bigger.
However, she seemed to lose momentum in 2023 and even ended up blocking popular streamer Kai Cenat after he criticized her Fivio Foreign-assisted single “Cha Cha Cha,” a song that gained little to no traction.
She came back with a vengeance in 2024, though, with her singles “Yeah Glo!” and “Wanna Be” with Megan Thee Stallion both cracking the top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100. She also found viral success with her track “TGIF,” which was even complimented by Rihanna.

Rih was so impressed, in fact, she slid into Glo’s DMs saying: “You got all summer sis! I know dis wild hypocritical but when the album drop?”
Looks like Rih Rih now has her answer!
