GloRilla took the BET Awards by storm on Monday night by performing alongside Keyshia Cole at the ceremony in Los Angeles. The two performed the hit song, "Typa," while GloRilla also treated fans to her song, “Let Her Cook.”
GloRilla rocked a white fur coat and performed at a grand piano before introducing Cole, who was unveiled to be sitting on top of the piano. Cole began by performing her 2005 classic “Love,” which GloRilla sampled on "Typa."
Elsewhere during the show, GloRilla accepted the Dr. Bobby Jones Best Gospel/ Inspirational Award for her song, “Rain Down on Me," featuring Kirk Franklin and Maverick City Music. She dropped the song on her debut studio album, Glorious, in 2024.
“It’s a blessing to get the Gospel award first because I owe it all to God,” she said during her acceptance speech, as caught by Vibe. “Shout out to Kirk Franklin. I’m not gon’ lie, I was kind of scared to ask him for a feature on this song because ya’ll know how I be rapping. When he said ‘yes,’ I was so excited, I had this song in the vault for so long.” She went on to thank her family and friends for their support.
