‘Yeah Glo!': GloRilla brings ‘Glorious' tour to Boston
Before GloRilla took the stage, opener Queen Key kicked the night off with a bang, performing her 2018 track 'My Way,' along with a short set of her hits. The evening also featured an appearance by Florida rapper Real Boston Richey, who glimmered in a bejeweled, all-black outfit while performing songs like his crowd-pleaser 'Help Me.' DJ Flexx, meanwhile, kept the party going in-between sets, mixing old-school rap classics and new-school club bangers, with a few pop songs like the Miley Cyrus anthem 'Party in the U.S.A.' sprinkled in.

GloRilla emerged onstage at around 9:40 p.m. in a lacy black body suit and fur boots to match, kicking off the main performance with her song 'Tomorrow 2,' a remix that features verses from Cardi B. Next up was the track 'HOLLON' off of her debut album, followed by the song 'Wanna Be,' which features quick-witted verses by both the Memphis rapper and Megan Thee Stallion whose presence could be felt from afar in Boston on Thursday night, as GloRilla and the crowd shouted 'Go Meg!' during the show.

The hour-long set also featured sultry male dancers gyrating and ripping off their clothes at one point, and fans were treated to a bit of a light show too, as a bright pink glow lit up the stage during her rendition of 'Pony.' Later in the night, things got a little interactive for one lucky audience member, who was brought onstage and sat before Big Glo, who gave him a close-up performance during one of her more risqué songs.
The night came to a close with her fan-favorite track 'Yeah Glo!', to the delight of the crowd. On her way out, the Memphis rapper gave a shoutout to the Boston audience, telling them to 'make some noise for yourselves,' and thanked everyone 'for being such a wonderful, beautiful, good energy crowd.'

Xavier Legette featured in cover art for rapper GloRilla's new single
Xavier Legette featured in cover art for rapper GloRilla's new single Show Caption Hide Caption Luke Kuechly praises 2025 HOF class Carolina Panthers legend Luke Kuechly has nothing but great things to say about the 2025 Pro Football Hall of Fame class. What NFL players do during the offseason is entirely their prerogative. Some try to pursue rap careers, others enjoy hanging out on boats, and still others take photoshoots with rappers in the hopes of being featured on the cover art of a new single. Carolina Panthers wide receiver Xavier Legette picked the third choice. When rapper GloRilla announced she's releasing a new single, "Typa," on Friday, her social media post included the cover art for the song. The photo she chose for the single prominently features the Panthers' second-year receiver sitting behind the rapper as she counts a stack of $100 bills. CAROLINA PANTHERS SCHEDULE: Games, dates, TV channels, predictions for 2025 season Legette entered the NFL last year after the Panthers selected him with the final pick in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft. Playing in 16 games, he led the team with 84 targets and 49 receptions and was second with his 497 receiving yards and four touchdowns behind veteran Adam Thielen. The second-year South Carolina product is projected to enter the 2025 season as the team's third starter at receiver next to Thielen and incoming rookie – and fellow first-round pick – Tetairoa McMillan. GloRilla is a rapper from Memphis, Tennessee. She released her first commercial mixtape, "Ehhthang Ehhthang," last April before debuting her first studio album, "Glorious," in October. "Typa" will be her first single since she the three she released off of her debut album.

GloRilla Recruits NFL Star Xaiver Legette — and Keyshia Cole! — for Sexy New 'Typa' Music Video
GloRilla's new "Typa" music video stars Xavier Legette and Keyshia Cole "Typa" samples Cole's 2005 song "Love" She'll host her first annual Glo Bash in Memphis in JulyGloRilla scored a touchdown when it came to recruiting a love interest for her latest music video. The 'TGIF' rapper gets up close and personal with NFL star Xavier Legette in the new video for her single 'Typa.' Keyshia Cole — whose 2005 song 'Love' GloRilla sampled for the track — also makes a cameo in the video. The video features GloRilla, 25, and Legette, 24, enjoying some sexy moments together, as well as her rapping while standing on a city street. Cole, 43, appears in a cameo in which she gives GloRilla a pep talk about love and heartbreak. 'So Keyshia, have you ever been with somebody that make you wanna be a better version of yourself, but you scared to show them the worst parts of yourself?' Glorilla asks, to which Cole replies, 'If you don't show them who you really are, how will you know if they truly love you?' Ultimately, Legette's character proves he's the dependable sort when he bails GloRilla out of jail. Legette is a wide receiver for the Carolina Panthers. He went viral last year after he revealed that he enjoys eating raccoon, as he finds vegetables like bell peppers and onions 'too exotic' for his taste. 'It's got its own touch,' he said on the St. Brown Brothers podcast. 'You know everybody says it still tastes like chicken, but raccoon got its own touch though.' Meanwhile, Cole spoke glowingly of GloRilla (née Gloria Hallelujah Woods) in an interview on Angela Yee's Way Up radio show earlier this month. 'I like Glo. She remind me of me. She little, petite, crazy, talk s---, funny. She's so cute, and I like the way she be rapping,' she said. 'So, she's cool.' GloRilla is set to perform at the BET Awards on June 9, and will also take the stage at Hot 97's Summer Jam and the ESSENCE Festival of Culture. In July, she'll host her first annual Glo Bash in her native Memphis. 'I'm working on my next album so I'm trying to see the type of lane that I want to go in," Glo told PEOPLE in April. "Because the songs are good but I just be trying to listen from a fan point of view... [Those around me] like it but sometimes it be tricky because I think they like a lot of everything that I put out. So it be tricky sometimes.' Read the original article on People
