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.”

Jade Thirlwall has been learning to lean into a softer approach with her voice as she steps into life as a solo performer.

The former Little Mix member shared that she’s been carving out her own sound since the British girl group decided to go on an indefinite break in 2022.

Speaking with ELLE, Jade opened up about discovering that not every track on her debut solo album, That's Showbiz Baby, needed a full vocal showcase.

“That’s what I’ve discovered with this project, especially after Little Mix, is that I don’t always need to give a big vocal moment,” she said. “It’s actually been really nice to understand that part of my voice.”

She pointed to the group’s 2016 single Power, which has at times faced online comments about being a little too intense vocally.

“I’ll scroll through TikTok and see people talk about Power like, ‘These girlies are out here like, AHHH,’” she told the outlet. “Everyone trying to top each other with the loudest note for three minutes straight.”

Although Jade still loves that kind of performance, she said she’s learned the value of holding back.

“I still adore that energy, but it’s been kind of freeing to realise, babe, it doesn’t always need to end with this massive ad-lib run,” she shared.

She also mentioned that her song Angel of My Dreams was first recorded with a much bigger vocal take before she decided to go back and do it in a more relaxed, softer tone.

Jade officially dropped That's Showbiz Baby on 12 September. The record includes 14 tracks, among them IT Girl, Plastic Box, and the lead single Angel of My Dreams.
