In the land of Instagram, where hashtags reign supreme and DMs are the new smoke signals, GloRilla decided to drop a bombshell that left everyone LOLing and SMHing in equal measure. The “Yeah Glo!” raptress, known for her fire beats and killer lyrics, just revealed that none other than the queen of multitasking herself, Rihanna, slid into her DMs with some spicy album talk.
On the fateful day of Tuesday, July 2, our 24-year-old hip-hop heroine posted a screenshot on Instagram that had fans spitting out their lattes. There it was, a DM from the legendary RiRi, the 36-year-old Barbadian boss lady who’s been keeping us all guessing about her next musical move.
At 12:51 A.M. (because who even sleeps, right?), Rihanna decided it was the perfect time to hit up GloRilla with, “You got all summer sis! I know dis wild hypocritical, but when the album drop?” She even sprinkled in some shrugging and red heart emojis, just to keep it cute.
GloRilla, probably doing a double-take like the rest of us, hit that DM with a red heart emoji response. Whether she actually typed out a reply or just fainted from the sheer epicness of it all remains a mystery, as the pic was cropped tighter than a pair of skinny jeans.
But Glo wasn’t done yet! She treated her followers to a visual feast of snaps from a recent A-list bash. Posing alongside Megan Thee Stallion and Moneybagg Yo, she served looks and vibes, making sure everyone knew she was living her best life.
Of course, the comment section turned into a comedy club faster than you can say “album drop.” One clever fan joked, “I would have sent the reverse uno card to riri bc wdym.” Another added, “RiRi can’t be talking about no album release cuz we been waiting for her to drop for some years now.” A third fan, clearly loving the shade, wrote, “That DM from Rihanna is hilarious. ‘I know this is hypocritical.’ LMAOOOOO!!” And the cherry on top? Someone suggested, “Tell her the album’s dropping when she gives you the feature lol.”
For the record, GloRilla has been blessing us with new music, dropping her mixtape “Ehhthang Ehhthang” in April and her compilation album “Gangsta Art 2” in September 2023. Meanwhile, Rihanna’s last album, “Anti,” came out so long ago that it feels like it belongs in a museum. She’s been teasing us with her elusive ninth studio album while simultaneously launching Fenty Hair and basically conquering the world.
So, in the grand saga of Instagram DMs and musical mayhem, one thing is clear: the internet may never recover from this epic crossover. We’ll be here, refreshing our feeds, waiting for GloRilla’s next drop—and maybe, just maybe, a new album from RiRi before we all turn into skeletons.
