GloRilla Cuts St. Louis Show Short After Multiple Altercations Break Out in Crowd
GloRilla’s recent stop in St. Louis on her Glorious Tour took an unexpected turn when multiple altercations broke out in the crowd throughout the night, forcing the rapper to cut the show short. The night, which was initially filled with high-energy performances, quickly turned chaotic as tensions escalated between concertgoers.
At least three separate times during her set, GloRilla had to stop the show to address the disturbances. At one point, she paused the music and expressed frustration with the crowd’s behavior. “Stop the music again,” she said. “They done started the shit up again! Calm the fuck down, shit! The fuck is the problem? I think y’all came for the wrong show. Y’all supposed to be at WWE. It’s not WWE, guys.”
Despite her efforts to regain control, the situation worsened, leading to an eventual halt to the show. “Aight y’all, I’m sorry. We gotta end the show right here,” GloRilla told the crowd. “We gotta end the show, St. Louis. It’s another muthafuckin’ fight. I love y’all. I don’t wanna do this, but we gotta make sure it’s safety first.”
The crowd, disappointed yet understanding, dispersed as GloRilla expressed concern for the safety of everyone in the venue. The incident marked a rare interruption in what has otherwise been a successful and smooth tour.
The Glorious Tour kicked off earlier this month in Oklahoma City and has been going smoothly for the most part. With opening acts Real Boston Richey and Queen Key joining the tour, the event has been a significant success, attracting massive crowds and delivering memorable performances. However, the St. Louis incident was a stark reminder of the unpredictable nature of live events.
Looking ahead, 2025 is shaping up to be another monumental year for GloRilla. She recently signed a deal with Rihanna’s Fenty brand, becoming the first joint ambassador for all four Fenty brands: Savage x Fenty, Fenty Beauty, Fenty Skin, and Fenty Hair. GloRilla expressed her excitement about the partnership, calling it an honor to represent Rihanna’s vision.
“I’m beyond excited to be the first joint partner for Fenty brands for spring 2025,” she said in a statement. “Rihanna has always been such an icon and inspiration, and being chosen to represent her vision across Savage x Fenty and Fenty Beauty is an honor. This spring season is all about celebrating confidence, boldness, and embracing your glow. I can’t wait for y’all to experience it all.”
The Memphis native’s career is reaching new heights, with 2024 marking another great year, including being named one of TIME’s best for her hit single “TGIF.” Billboard also crowned her as the hottest female rapper in the game for the year. As the tour continues, fans are eager to see what GloRilla will do next, hoping for fewer interruptions and more unforgettable performances.
