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.”

Soundgarden are gearing up for a rare live appearance on September 9.

The Seattle grunge heavyweights have been booked as the halftime act for the Seattle Seahawks’ NFL season opener against the New England Patriots at Lumen Field.

The Black Hole Sun rockers will be joined by Pearl Jam’s Mike McCready on guitar and The Pretty Reckless singer Taylor Momsen is set to handle vocals. The latter has become the band’s unofficial frontwoman in the years since Chris Cornell’s death in 2017.

She led the band during their Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction last year.

And, in 2019, she joined them for the I Am the Highway tribute concert, performing Rusty Cage, Drawing Flies and Loud Love.

The Taylor-led Soundgarden also performed at the Taylor Hawkins tribute show in 2022.

Taylor has said she'll always be up for the honour of performing in Soundgarden.

She said:  “The reality is I’m here for anything they want or need. If they call me, I’m there. It’s that simple.”

The Pretty Reckless were the support act on Soundgarden’s 2017 North American tour. Tragically, Chris took his own life after their Detroit tour stop.

Two years ago, the band performed under the anagram Nudedragons for a Seattle benefit concert, but they were joined by Shaina Shepherd on vocals.

Alongside their return to the stage, Soundgarden are inching closer to releasing their long-awaited album featuring eight unreleased Chris Cornell vocal tracks.

The band recorded material with Chris before his death, and drummer Matt Cameron recently confirmed they’re finally nearing the finish line after years of legal delays and painstaking production work.

He said: “We’re just gonna try to get this thing mixed, get it over the finish line, and then hopefully we’ll have a better idea what’s gonna come next. We’re just taking it one step at a time ’cause it’s been kind of a long process just to get to here.”

Cameron added that Chris' vocals are complete, with guitarist Kim Thayil's additional instrumental pieces still needing to be finished in July.

Bassist Ben Shepherd previously revealed the band were working on the “yet to be named” album, describing the emotional impact of hearing his late bandmate’s voice again:

He wrote on Instagram: “It’s at this point of recording all of our previous albums I’d get this overwhelming hit of awe, camaraderie, power of creativity, majesty even, and love… To hear, as a fan and band member, a song or two Chris brought in a few years ago turn before my very ears and finger blisters into a full blown Soundgarden tune is like feeling a glacier fall away off your chest.”
