GloRilla Responds to Rihanna’s Praise as Ideal Savage X Fenty Theme Song Artist

GloRilla is ready to hop in the booth after Rihanna named the Memphis rapper as the ideal artist to craft a theme song for her Savage X Fenty intimates line. Memphis rap star GloRilla has captured the attention of global icon Rihanna, who recently named her as the perfect artist to create a theme song for the Savage X Fenty brand. The announcement, which came during the celebration of the brand’s Lavish Lace collection at Nordstrom, further cemented GloRilla’s rising status in the music industry.

Rihanna’s Enthusiastic Endorsement

When asked who she would choose to craft an anthem for her wildly successful Savage X Fenty intimates line, Rihanna didn’t hesitate. “GloRilla. Just to see a young lady who’s still grounded in who she is and where she came from, and I love that,” she said.

GloRilla responded with excitement, sharing the clip on Instagram and writing:

“Lemme head to da studio & start working on dis song [laughing emojis] ion play bout RihRih [heart on fire emojis] @badgalriri I luv youuu.”

The official Savage X Fenty Instagram account chimed in with support, commenting: “YEAH, GLO!! WE SO SO READY!”

“Twins” With Rihanna? Fans Are Seeing the Resemblance

This isn’t the first time fans have linked GloRilla and Rihanna. The connection grew stronger after GloRilla unveiled the cover art for her debut album, GLORIOUS, which dropped on October 11. Many fans noticed the striking similarity between Glo’s album cover and Rihanna’s debut album, Music of the Sun.

A side-by-side comparison shared online highlighted the resemblance, prompting comments like:

“I really see the vision, wait…”

Others pointed out parallels between GloRilla and Rihanna’s 2010 album LOUD, further fueling the conversation. Some fans even joked about the two artists being “twins,” a notion Glo’s grandmother amusingly supported in an old voicemail where she claimed, “Rihanna and Gloria look so much alike.”

A Special Bond Over Glo’s Music

Rihanna’s support for GloRilla goes beyond the Savage X Fenty nod. Back in July, the Fenty Beauty mogul reached out to Glo privately after falling in love with her hit single, “TGIF.” She messaged:

“You got all summer sis! I know dis wild hypocritical but when the album drop?”

GloRilla later shared this interaction during her recap of the 2024 BET Awards, showcasing just how much admiration Rihanna has for her artistry.

What’s Next for GloRilla?

As GloRilla rides the wave of success from her debut album GLORIOUS, fans are eager to see if a collaboration with Rihanna might actually materialize. With her infectious energy and ability to connect with both fans and industry legends, GloRilla is proving herself as a versatile and impactful artist.

Whether it’s through a Savage X Fenty theme song or more iconic tracks, one thing is clear: Big Glo’s star is on the rise. Stay tuned for more from this dynamic rapper as she continues to make waves in music and beyond. The Memphis native shared the message in a recap of her visit to the 2024 BET Awards but did show her response to the “Umbrella” singer.
