GloRilla has given “TGIF” a meteorological remix, recruiting weatherman Nick Kosir to help spice up the track.

The duo unveiled the clever version of Glo’s hit single on Friday (July 12).

The “FNF” rapper stopped by Fox 46 in Charlotte, North Carolina and began: “It’s 7 PM Friday, it’s 95 degrees, referencing her track,” before Kosir, who also goes by The Dancing Weatherman, cued up the “TGIF” beat and spat some bars.

He rapped: “I ain’t got no sunburn ‘cus I got sunscreen on me/ I’ma show my forecast for the rest of the week/ How are we gonna cool off? In this kind of heat/ Turn on all the fans/ Turn on the A/C.” Kosir may have a career in the Hip-Hop business if this weatherman gig doesn’t work out.

Kosir isn’t the only person GloRilla has befriended lately.

Lil Wayne and the Memphis star formed an unlikely friendship after bumping into each other at billionaire Michael Rubin’s White Party in the Hamptons.

In a video posted on Instagram earlier this month, Weezy spoke about his experience at the swanky July 4th bash, which was also attended by the likes of JAY-ZBeyoncéDrakeTravis Scott, Kim Kardashian and Tom Brady.

Despite the star-studded guest list, the Young Money legend gave a special shout out to Glo for being “the only person who came up to me and really hollered at me.”

The “F.N.F.” rapper reciprocated the love on Monday (July 8) by reposting a clip of Wayne’s comments on X (formerly Twitter) while writing: “I luv Wayne [three heart emojis] fav rapper of all time.”

Tunechi, in turn, responded with: “Appreciate ya @GloTheofficial [hang loose emoji].”

GloRilla has long been a fan of Lil Wayne. During an appearance on Shannon Sharpe’s Club Shay Shay podcast earlier this year, she included the New Orleans native on her Mount Rushmore of rappers.

“I’m only 24 years old, so I can’t say any rappers that were before me because I don’t know their music,” she said, before adding: “So, I’m gonna say Lil Wayne. I think Lil Wayne is one of the best rappers in the world. […] Chief Keef. Drake. Eminem. And JAY-Z.”

 

Glo has some famous fans of her own.

Earlier this month, none other than Rihanna slid into the starlet’s Instagram DMs with a burning question about her new album.

“You got all summer sis! I know dis wild hypocritical but when the album drop?” the Bajan beauty wrote in her message, acknowledging the long wait for her own next project.

Glo shared the private message in a recap of her visit to the 2024 BET Awards but did not show her response to the “Umbrella” singer.

RiRi also recently flaunted her GloRilla fandom by filming herself dancing to the rapper’s hit single “TGIF.”

Zara Larsson has indicated that she may have cancelled her December 3 appearance at the Formula One Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. The singer initially confirmed that she would not attend, before removing the comment and sharing a more detailed explanation of why the performance no longer feels right for her.

The Swedish star was scheduled to take the stage at Etihad Live on Yas Island during the Yasalam After-Race Concerts. Zara and Lewis Capaldi were due to launch the weekend’s entertainment. However, supporters encouraged her to reconsider the booking because of concerns surrounding the United Arab Emirates’ reported connections to Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces, a paramilitary organisation accused of committing atrocities during the nation’s civil conflict.

A fan commented: “Please read about what UAE is doing to Sudan then cancel your Abu Dhabi show!” Zara responded: “I will not be going to Abu Dhabi.” Fans later realised that both comments had been removed.

She then shared that she had been considering what it means for her, as an artist, to perform in particular countries.

The Midnight Sun singer explained: “I think about that a lot in my life as an artist… I wanna perform and spread joy and music for people in every country, because no single person is their government.

“I’ve met so many wonderful people from every corner of the world and I know this to be true in my heart. I love people, and I love my fans soooo much.”

Zara acknowledged that her original comment “maybe came off as an impulsive response,” but explained that she had given the booking serious thought. She now believes withdrawing is the decision that “aligns with me the most right now, for many different personal reasons beyond politics.”

She continued: “Maybe I’ll delete both comments and do a better statement soon. I hope to sing with you in the beautiful future!”
