The Memphis MC said that she was trying to get her car out of a hotel valet when an employee told her there was no way she owned a Mercedes.

GloRilla recently had to hop on her Instagram to tell her fans an unfortunate story, in which she believes she was racially profiled. Moreover, the "Tomorrow 2" hitmaker tried to get her car out of her hotel valet, telling the employee her room number to verify her ownership of the vehicle. Then, he said that there was no way she owned a Mercedes car, saying that it was an expensive whip. Not only that, but he allegedly insinuated that many people stole cars recently, and so he believed Glo tried to do the same. Eventually, she figured things out and resolved the issue, but it still left her not just offended, but surprised.

After all, the Memphis MC is one of the biggest and most buzzed about rising stars of the moment. She just dropped a deluxe version of her breakout project, Anyways, Life's Great... including Lil Durk, Cardi B, and other notable names. Of course, it includes her massive hit "F.N.F. (Let's Go)" along with a few other hits across the tracklist. What's more is that she's carrying the flag of the dominant Memphis scene, and exemplifies it through her sound and style.

GloRilla Calls Out Hotel Valet's Racial Profiling Over Her Car

Unfortunately, she clapped back at another rapper using her name for clout on a track, adding to the disrespect. On his song "Saweetie" (on which he also name-drops the titular artist), Money Man rapped about wanting a girl with GloRilla's figure. "Skinny b***h inside my DMs, she remind me of GloRilla," he rapped on the track. Following a lot of people pointing out the bar to her, the 23-year-old took to Twitter to call out the song and the questionable lyrics.

"Hey guys, what song is this??????????? I hate it," she quote-tweeted a user who wrote the bar in question to her. Regardless, GloRilla likely has a lot more big things to look forward to that will allow her to kick that dirt off her shoulder. For example, she recently participated in a Tommy Jeans and Aries campaign and paid tribute to the late and great Aaliyah.
