When legends speak, the world listens—and this time, it’s Busta Rhymes delivering high praise to rising star GloRilla. In a recent interview, Busta expressed his belief that GloRilla possesses the potential to become a major force in the music industry, drawing comparisons to Beyoncé.
On Friday, November 24, Rolling Stone hosted a group of Grammy nominees and winners, including Busta Rhymes, Brittany Howard, Doechii, and GloRilla, at its “Musicians On Musicians” event for a night filled with engaging discussions and unforgettable performances.
In the event’s second half, Busta Rhymes and GloRilla took the stage for an illuminating conversation with Touré. They shared their personal journeys through the music industry, revealing the challenges they’ve faced and the triumphs that have shaped their careers.
During the discussion, the rap icon shared heartfelt words about GloRilla, acknowledging her talent, authenticity, and undeniable charm.
“I hope that we can hold onto this GloRilla for as long as possible before she evolves into her Beyoncé level,” Busta Rhymes said. “We see ourselves in her. She is unfiltered, she’s not politically correct, and she’s the truth.”
“When you are untainted by the industry, her music speaks to my soul like that,” he continued. “And it doesn’t hurt that she’s super sexy on top of it.”
Busta Rhymes didn’t just offer praise; he’s also offered to step up as a mentor. The rap icon revealed his desire to guide GloRilla as she navigates the complexities of the music world. With decades of experience under his belt, Busta’s mentorship could be a game-changer for the rising Memphis sensation.
He also highlighted Memphis’ rich contributions to Hip-Hop, emphasizing how GloRilla is the latest in a long line of trailblazing artists from the city.
Busta even let fans in on a personal tidbit: GloRilla’s track “TGIF” is a staple in his hype-up playlist. “I play it to get hyped at home,” he shared.
GloRilla’s rise to fame has been nothing short of meteoric. She fondly reminisced about the unforgettable moment when Rihanna shared a video of herself belting out GloRilla’s hit song “TGIF” for her husband, A$AP Rocky.
Glo also praised Busta Rhymes for his incredible talent in delivering those signature double-time raps while expressing gratitude for how her music has genuinely connected with fans.
