GloRilla’s “Baby Bump” Explained: Behind the Scenes of Her New Video
Last month, GloRilla sparked waves of speculation when she shared photos showcasing what appeared to be a significant baby bump. Fans were quick to question the reality behind the reveal, but it turns out the mystery has finally been solved. The “baby bump” was part of the storyline in her newly released music video for “I Luv Her,” a collaboration with T-Pain.
The highly anticipated visual, directed by Benny Boom, dropped on Thursday (November 14) and showcases a romantic storyline. In the video, GloRilla’s character falls for a man played by Abraham “Da’Vinchi” Juste, known for his role as Terry “Southwest T” Flenory in BMF. Their whirlwind romance culminates with GloRilla appearing pregnant as a symbol of their happy ending. However, in a plot twist, it’s revealed to be a daydream, leaving viewers with a sense of playful misdirection.
The Pre-Release Tease
Leading up to the video’s release, GloRilla fed the rumor mill with two Instagram posts showing her sporting a realistic-looking baby bump. The photos, which lacked any caption, left fans questioning the authenticity. It wasn’t until later that GloRilla humorously posted on her Instagram Stories, “Was so sick of hiding & sucking my stomach in lol,” keeping her followers entertained with her teasing approach.
Despite the obvious clues that it might be a stunt, GloRilla played along, sharing photos of herself and Da’Vinchi, even referring to him jokingly as her “baby daddy.”
GloRilla’s Take on Motherhood
In reality, GloRilla’s thoughts on motherhood diverge from the typical narrative. During an interview on Out of Context with Charlamagne Tha God, the rapper opened up about her plans for the future. She expressed her desire to have children but shared that she would prefer to go through surrogacy rather than carry a child herself.
“I do want to have kids, but not my own kids. I wanna do the surrogate. I want somebody else to have my baby,” GloRilla said. She highlighted the challenges she’s observed among her friends who have gone through pregnancy and noted that the process seemed too restrictive for her lifestyle.
The conversation was sparked by a line from her song “Procedure” featuring Latto, where she raps, “This n-gga tryna get me pregnant, I need to tie my tubes.” It’s a sentiment that aligns with her candid approach to the topic of motherhood and pregnancy.
No Stranger to Controversy
GloRilla is known for her bold and sometimes controversial statements. After fellow rapper Sexyy Red revealed her pregnancy last year, fans speculated GloRilla might be next. She humorously shut down these rumors with, “Stop asking am I next y’all kno what I do. I damn near gotta membership at dat place,” referring to an abortion clinic, a comment that sparked mixed reactions online.
The release of “I Luv Her” and its video has once again shown GloRilla’s knack for keeping fans guessing while weaving personal themes into her music. The story may have been a fantasy, but the video gave audiences a glimpse into her playful side and her unique storytelling approach.
