Glo Teams Up with Dave Chappelle for a Viral Sketch
GloRilla’s rise to stardom continues as she made her debut as a musical guest on Saturday Night Live (SNL) this past weekend. The Memphis rapper, fresh off her 2023 mixtape Ehhtang Ehhthang and debut album GLORIOUS, has proven herself a formidable force in the music world. With chart-topping hits like “Yeah Glo!,” “Wanna Be,” and “TGIF,” her accomplishments only seem to multiply. Despite a recent incident at a performance where a shoe was thrown at her, GloRilla’s career is clearly on an upward trajectory.
Her SNL appearance, where legendary comedian Dave Chappelle joined her as host, was a major highlight. The chemistry between the two during sketches was undeniable, with one particularly popular sketch parodying the viral “Pop The Balloon” trend from YouTube. In the sketch, contestants must find a date while a row of suitors holds balloons to determine if they’re worthy of continuing. Chappelle even brought back beloved characters from Chappelle’s Show, like Silky Johnson and Ashy Larry, adding a nostalgic touch to the sketch.
While her path to the top hasn’t been without challenges, GloRilla’s SNL moment only further solidifies her place at the forefront of female hip-hop.
