GloRilla Makes History with Sixth No. 1 on Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay
GloRilla, the Memphis-born rapper, continues to dominate the charts and solidify her place in hip-hop. According to The Shade Room, she recently became the third female rapper ever to achieve six No. 1 songs on Billboard’s Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart. This milestone comes thanks to her June release, the laid-back summer hit “Typa,” which climbed from No. 3 to claim the top spot. Only Nicki Minaj and Cardi B have reached this mark before.
Fans on Instagram celebrated the achievement, praising GloRilla’s talent and work ethic. Comments ranged from “One of Memphis finest and talented 🔥🔥🔥 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽” to “Well deserved 🔥,” reflecting widespread support for the rising star.
Despite the chart success, GloRilla faced a challenging moment last week when a leaked jail phone call from Young Thug included harsh remarks about her appearance. During the conversation with his girlfriend Mariah The Scientist, he criticized her looks, saying, “That btch ugly as f**k… I would not pursue her, like at all… That sht ain’t nothing.”
GloRilla responded calmly on X, turning the situation into a moment of confidence. “Mind you dis da same n***a blowing my phone up to ask what color my eyes is lmaooo,” she tweeted, showing she was unfazed by the insults.
Young Thug later publicly apologized. “First of all I’m sorry to u for my words and I honestly don’t think ur ugly at all,” he wrote on X. “I was speaking from jail just having a hard time with life. I don’t like bashing girls and hardly ever did.. I’m sorry to u twin.”
With six No. 1 hits and growing influence, GloRilla continues to cement her legacy. Her ability to maintain composure amid controversy only strengthens her reputation as one of hip-hop’s most resilient and talented voices.
