GloRilla Suits Up for ‘Let Her Cook' & ‘Typa' With Keyshia Cole at 2025 BET Awards
GloRilla put on a great two-song set at the 2025 BET Awards, as she was dressed like Michael Jackson in the 'Smooth Criminal' video in the front and dressed as Prince at the 1991 MTV VMAs in the back. The first song she performed was her hit single 'Let Her Cook' as a kitchen crew cheffed up behind her and she put in some choreography work. She then took a quick intermission to do a tap dance number and finished the song before putting on a white fur coat to play the piano as Keyshia Cole sat down to perform her hit 'Love' as a lead-in to Glo's latest single 'Typa,' which samples the record.
