GloRilla has endorsed Kamala Harris for president, citing four key reasons behind her decision.
The Memphis rapper posted a video on Instagram on Monday (October 28) urging her followers to vote for Harris in next month’s presidential election.
Soundtracked by her recently released “I LUV U” collaboration with T-Pain, the clip outlined Glo’s political stance as she lip-synced to the song.
The four reasons were: “A woman’s right to choose!,” “Protect the LGBTQIA+ community,” “Funding for Public Education” and “$15/hr minimum wage.” She ended the video with the message: “Vote Kamala Harris For President!”
Glo is just the latest big name to throw her support behind the Kamala Harris-Tim Walz ticket.
Last week, Beyoncé appeared at a rally in her hometown of Houston to lend her support to Harris’ presidential campaign.
Joined by her former Destiny’s Child groupmate Kelly Rowland, Queen Bey graced the stage at Houston’s Shell Energy Stadium and gave a short speech praising Harris, who later joined her on the podium.
“I’m not here as a celebrity, I’m not here as a politician; I’m here as a mother,” she said. “A mother who cares deeply about the world my children and all of our children live in, a world where we have the freedom to control our bodies, a world where we’re not divided.
“It’s time for America to sing a new song. Our voices sing a chorus of unity. They sing a song of dignity and opportunity. Are y’all ready to add your voice to the new American song?”
Earlier that week, Eminem made a similar appearance at Harris’ rally in his native Detroit.
At the event, the rap legend gave a brief speech endorsing the Democrat before introducing former president Barack Obama to the stage.
“I’m here tonight for a couple of important reasons,” Em began. “As most of you know, the city of Detroit and the whole state of Michigan mean a lot to me. Going into this election, the spotlight is on us more than ever and I think it’s important to use your voice, so I’m encouraging everybody to get out and vote, please.”
He continued: “I also think that people shouldn’t be afraid to express their opinions, and I don’t think anyone wants an America where people are worried about retribution or what people will do if you make your opinion known.
“I think Vice President Harris supports a future for this country where these freedoms and many others will be protected and upheld.”
The presidential election takes place on November 5, with Harris going up against Republican Donald Trump in her bid to become the first female president of the United States.
Perry Farrell has released another public apology following an on-stage confrontation involving his bandmate Dave Navarro.
The Jane's Addiction frontman was involved in a physical altercation with guitarist Dave Navarro last year during a live performance, an incident that prompted the band to cancel their reunion tour and eventually led to their split.
“I'd like to address what happened on stage last year,” Perry, 66, said in a statement shared across both his personal Instagram account and Jane's Addiction’s official page. “I've reflected on it and know I didn't handle myself the way I should have. I apologize to our patrons and my bandmates for losing my temper and for disrupting the show.”
He went on to admit that he did not meet fan expectations and described himself as deeply remorseful toward everyone impacted by the incident.
“Jane's Addiction has been at the center of my life for decades. The band, the songs, the patrons, and the impact that we've had on music and culture mean more to me than any words I could ever possibly write down,” he shared.
“My aim has always been to give our audience the best possible show, something real, honest and positive. In Boston, we fell short of that, and I'm truly sorry to everyone who was impacted.”
Jane's Addiction also issued its own statement regarding the altercation, which ultimately led to the group’s remaining members filing a lawsuit against Perry alleging assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty, and breach of contract.
“Today we are here to announce that we have come together one last time to resolve our differences, so that the legacy of Jane's Addiction will remain the work the four of us created together,” the band wrote, signaling that the group would not move forward with Perry. “We now look forward to the future as we embark on our separate musical and creative endeavors.”
