Memphis-raised rapper GloRilla surprised her high school today with a $25,000 check. Her charitable gesture mirrors collaborator Cardi B’s recent presentation of her former elementary school with a $100,000 donation last week.
As TMZ reported, Glo was back home in Memphis Thursday at Martin Luther King Prep High School where she donated the funds to the school's fine arts programs in hopes of fostering more talented acts down the line.
MLK Prep principal Chiquita Perry accepted the check in front of students and faculty members, and Glo called being in the position to give back a blessing, just like her recent single.
According to TMZ, Glo's charitable check comes on the heels of Cardi B also visiting her former school stomping grounds, where she presented her high school with a whooping $100k check earlier this month.
As fate would have it, the two rap stars are combining forces for Glo's upcoming single "Tomorrow 2" which drops on Friday.
Glo is a leading favorite for hip hop's 2022 rookie of the year. Her breakout hit "F.N.F. (Let's Go)" dropped in April and peaked at No. 49 on the Billboard Hot 100 ... which earned her a cash-filled contract with Yo Gotti that boasted a $500K stipend.
TMZ stated, “The last time we spoke to Glo, she said she was already looking to invest her signing bonus and wasn't splurging just for the sake of the 'Gram.”
“I want them to be able to know that anything they put they mind to is possible. Long as they got a dream, then you gotta reach for the stars,” Glo said. “It feels real good to be able to have a platform and be able to come in and help students that come from where I came from.”
GloRilla said she felt “blessed” to give back to her alma mater, alluding to her popular single of the same name. She made history as the first female rapper to be signed to Yo Gotti’s CMG label, receiving a $500,000 cash signing bonus.
According to Billboard, “F.N.F.,” also known as “Let’s Go,” is charting on the Billboard Hot 100 at No. 42 and reached No. 1 on the Billboard Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay Chart.
GloRilla announced a new collaboration with Cardi B, “Tomorrow 2,” on Wednesday (Sept. 21). The song is a follow up to another fan-favorite track of hers, “Tomorrow,” released under CMG the label as well.
GloRilla, who’s since become central in a burgeoning Memphis rap scene, was also nominated for a BET Hip Hop Award for best song of the year.
