GloRilla may be a rising star in the music world, but even she isn’t immune to getting emotional when it comes to Beyoncé. The rapper recently shared a heartwarming story on Angel Reese’s Unapologetically Angel podcast, revealing a touching moment she had with Queen Bey at Michael Rubin’s star-studded July 4th White Party.
While chatting with Angel, GloRilla recalled the night she hung out with Beyoncé and Megan Thee Stallion. The moment that sparked a viral photo of the three superstars started unexpectedly, as GloRilla explained:
“Me and Meg had just come from the upstairs part of the party, heading down to the club area. I was tipsy, just walking around, and suddenly I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned around, and it was Beyoncé.”
What happened next left GloRilla speechless. Beyoncé invited them to her VIP section. “Her security wasn’t too sure about letting us through, but her family stepped in and made it clear — if Beyoncé said we could come, we could come,” GloRilla said with a laugh.
But once face-to-face with her idol, the usually confident rapper found herself at a loss for words. “I was so nervous, just standing there not knowing what to say. Then Beyoncé told me to sit down, and that’s when I lost it. Tears started coming down my face because I love her so much,” she admitted.
GloRilla’s candid account of meeting one of her biggest inspirations shows that even chart-topping artists get starstruck. It was a night she’ll never forget, and fans loved seeing Glo’s genuine reaction in the viral photo that captured the iconic trio together.
