In her recent 2023 BET Awards performance of “Lick or Sum,” GloRilla stirred up the audience with her bold and unique approach. Taking to Instagram, the Memphis rapper addressed her fans, defending her decision to showcase a more sensual side on stage.
She expressed her desire to be sexy, a departure from what some may have expected, humorously stating, “Y’all wanted me to be up there dancing like Chief Keef. I wanted to be sexy.”
While the live stream of her performance garnered mixed reactions when shared on The Neighborhood Talk, GloRilla’s loyal supporters defended her artistic evolution. One fan acknowledged the importance of staying true to oneself, noting that the industry should not dictate an artist’s expression.
GloRilla’s musical journey started with her hit “Lick or Sum,” released in May, which ingeniously samples DJ Paul, Juicy J, Lord Infamous, and Project Pat’s 1999 hit “Slob on My Knob.”
The 2023 BET Awards recognized GloRilla’s talent, as she received nominations for Best New Artist and Best Female Hip Hop Artist, among others. Her unapologetic performance and unique style continue to challenge conventions, making her a rising star to watch in the hip-hop industry.
