If you don't know Glo — and no, I'm not sure why I said that in the style of "You Don't Know Bo" — then you're in for a treat on Saturday, as she's one of the top rappers in the world right now.
In the official release from the WNBA on her performance, GloRilla said of her upcoming performance: "“You know I’m always going to represent for the ladies and I’m excited to bring that BIG GLO energy to the WNBA All-Star stage. This one is for the women and athletes who go hard every single day."
Who is GloRilla?
So, who is GloRilla? The artist, whose full name is Gloria Hallelujah Woods, first rose to fame in 2022 when her single "F.N.F. (Let's Go)" hit No. 11 on the US R&B/Hip Hop chart and was certified platinum by the RIAA. She followed that up later in the year with "Tomorrow," which reached No. 3 on that chart and No. 9 on the overall US chart.
2024 was her true breakthrough into stardom. That year, GloRilla released five singles. Four went platinum and the other gold, and four of the five singles placed in the top 10 on the US R&B/Hip Hop chart, with "Whachu Kno About Me" with guest Sexyy Red hitting No. 3.
