While the internet was busy dissecting her family tree, GloRilla was busy living her best life. On Tuesday night, the Memphis rapper was spotted sitting courtside at a Toronto Raptors game, seemingly miles away from the social media firestorm ignited by her older sister.
Glo was there to support her rumored beau, NBA star Brandon Ingram, looking every bit the unbothered superstar. But behind the scenes, a much messier game was being played on Instagram and Facebook as the “TGIF” rapper finally addressed claims that she has turned her back on her ten siblings and struggling parents.
The drama began when Victoria “Scar Face Woods” Woods took to social media to deliver a scathing critique of her sister’s character. Victoria claimed that while GloRilla uses their childhood struggles as fodder for interviews and hit songs, she hasn’t reached back to help the people who lived through those struggles with her. The most biting allegation involved their mother, whom Victoria claims is still punching the clock at FedEx while her daughter flies private and buys luxury cars for her friends. Victoria painted a grim picture of their Memphis reality, alleging that some siblings are still living in a house infested with pests and sleeping on air mattresses.
GloRilla spent the better part of Tuesday in silence, letting the “deadbeat” rumors swirl until the pressure became impossible to ignore. Her response wasn’t a long-winded video or a legal statement, but rather a cryptic screenshot of a text message exchange. In the message, a contact saved as “Ma Nem” thanked GloRilla profusely for her financial support, writing that she didn’t want to ask because the rapper already does so much.
“Thank You so very, very much!!! Really didn’t want to ask because you already do so much for us. I thank you so very, very much for all that you do. I don’t take it for granted at all!
I really do love and Appreciate You so very much! God bless you for your honor, respect, kindness, and love shown to me! You’re such a blessing to me. When I become a millionaire, I GOT YOU!!! Meanwhile, I’ll prayerfully keep you in God’s hands continually.”
The text was filled with blessings and gratitude, seemingly serving as a direct rebuttal to Victoria’s claim that Glo had blocked their mother and left her destitute. However, the “receipts” didn’t sit well with the skeptics or with Victoria herself.
Sharp-eyed followers quickly noticed that the screenshot lacked a visible date or time, making it unclear if the exchange happened yesterday or three years ago. Victoria jumped back onto the timeline almost immediately to call her sister’s bluff, questioning the validity of the screenshot and the phone number attached to it. She demanded to know why the media hasn’t seen the rest of the siblings and accused GloRilla of “faking the funk” to maintain her public image as a neighborhood hero.
Many fans have jumped to GloRilla’s defense, arguing that a single artist shouldn’t be responsible for the lifestyle of ten adult siblings. Others feel that if the lyrics are about the “trenches,” the money should be flowing back into them.
