GloRilla was caught in a digital hurricane simply for posting a song by Tory Lanez on her Instagram story. The post was accompanied by a sweet caption: "I'm forever grateful for the heart I have, the way I love, the way I demonstrate patience and my pure intentions. It's all a blessing." The caption was intended to be reflective, not to stoke unexpected controversy.
Compounding the surprise of the reshare was the fact that the report arrived in 2022, with Tory Lanez recently convicted of shooting Megan Thee Stallion in 2020. The internet moved quickly; fans began to speculate whether Glo was siding with Lanez, speculation that didn't please anyone because of her rock-solid record of team-ups with Megan in years past.
Matters got more intense when the fans discovered that Megan Thee Stallion had unfollowed GloRilla from Instagram following her post. GloRilla reciprocated the message, and in no time, murmurs of a fallout graced timelines. Two of hip-hop's shiniest lights, who had been ride-or-die for hits like "Wanna Be" and "HOW I LOOK," now appeared to be on icy terms. Fans were stunned. Was the Hot Girl Summer alliance cooling each other off?
But before things could get out of hand, GloRilla hopped on X (Formerly called Twitter) to clear things up. In Glo style, she kept it honest and didn't give any care.
"Ion internet s### and I don't do mess!" she wrote Wednesday night in an atypically late email. "It was an innocent repost."
There was no shade, no drama, just a little clarity. And with that, it appears that the smoke has dissipated. For now, Megan and Glo are following each other on Instagram again, so whatever bad blood there was seems to have been resolved quickly behind the scenes.
Fans can rest easy, particularly since the two teased the possibility of a joint album last year. Megan even playfully chided herself and Cardi for their shared laziness regarding the song's release: "Y'all need to spam Glo for real because we're both bullshiters."
GloRilla and Megan have an undeniable chemistry that's hard to manufacture, and their connection extends past the booth. Megan has been taking Glo along for her Hot Girl Summer Tour, and their chemistry onstage suggested a sisterhood to root for.
It's a reminder that not everything online is worthy of being blown up. Occasionally, a post is just a post. And every once in a while, there's just friendship. Keep an eye out because the moment those two schedule studio time, it will be enough to make summer even hotter.
