GloRilla earns new gold and platinum RIAA certifications
GloRilla earns new gold & platinum certifications amid massive year
GloRilla’s unstoppable run over the past year proves that consistency, charisma, and authenticity can take you far in hip-hop. The Memphis rapper continues to stack up achievements, adding a fresh set of RIAA certifications to her growing list of accolades. With several songs now certified gold and platinum — and even multi-platinum — it’s clear that GloRilla’s rise in the music industry is not just hype, but history in motion.
This new wave of recognition comes on the heels of a whirlwind stretch that saw GloRilla drop two full projects, headline her own tour, win her first BET Award, and experiment with new sounds that show her artistic evolution. From gritty street anthems to radio-ready hits, she’s cementing herself as one of hip-hop’s most dynamic voices.
A Year That Defined GloRilla’s Star Power
Few artists can say they’ve had a run as productive as GloRilla’s between 2024 and 2025. Last year, she delivered two major projects — the Ehhthang Ehhthang mixtape and her official debut album Glorious.
The mixtape reminded listeners why she first captured attention with her breakout hit “F.N.F. (Let’s Go)” in 2022. It carried that same raw, relatable energy that made fans fall in love with her voice and personality. Songs like “Wanna Be”with Megan Thee Stallion and “Set The Tone” showed she could blend street confidence with humor and vulnerability, all while keeping her Southern flavor intact.
Then came Glorious — a body of work that took her artistry up another level. It was polished, bold, and personal, proving GloRilla could handle the pressure of a debut album while keeping her authenticity intact. The project balanced her hard-hitting bangers with more reflective tracks, offering a peek into how fame has changed her outlook.
By the time 2025 rolled around, GloRilla had evolved from rising rapper to a full-fledged headliner.
The Glorious Tour: From Memphis to the Main Stage
When GloRilla announced her Glorious Tour, fans were eager to see her energy live — and she did not disappoint. The tour spanned multiple cities across the U.S., selling out venues and drawing rave reviews from fans and critics alike.
Her stage presence was electric. The Memphis native brought that same unfiltered personality from her viral videos to the big stage, connecting with fans through both her music and her genuine charm. It wasn’t just about performing hits; it was about building a community. Each show felt like a celebration of empowerment, friendship, and staying true to yourself — key themes that have defined her brand.
The Glorious Tour didn’t just mark a milestone for GloRilla’s career — it solidified her reputation as one of hip-hop’s most engaging live performers.
A BET Award and a Gospel Crossover Moment
One of the most surprising — and inspiring — moments of GloRilla’s year came when she won her first BET Award. She took home Best Gospel Song for “Rain Down On Me”, a collaboration with Maverick City Music, Kirk Franklin, Kierra Sheard, and Chandler Moore.
For many fans, the award represented more than just a trophy. It was a symbol of GloRilla’s versatility and willingness to explore new creative spaces. While she’s best known for her bold rap delivery and street anthems, her ability to seamlessly blend into a gospel track demonstrated her depth and authenticity.
This win also highlighted her connection to her roots — something GloRilla has never been shy about. From the start of her career, she’s represented Memphis proudly, often referencing her upbringing, faith, and perseverance in interviews and lyrics.
Winning a gospel award not only expanded her reach but also made her one of the few female rappers to cross genres successfully while maintaining credibility in both spaces.
RIAA Certifications: A Testament to Staying Power
Now, GloRilla’s accomplishments have been further solidified by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). In October 2025, several of her biggest records officially earned new certifications, reflecting her dominance in streaming and digital sales.
Her hit “Tomorrow 2” featuring Cardi B, one of the biggest collaborations of her career, has now gone 4x Platinum. The song remains one of the most streamed female rap collaborations of the decade, with its blend of humor, attitude, and memorable bars that continue to resonate on social media.
Her single “I Luv Her” featuring T-Pain — an anthem that mixed humor with a touch of romance — officially went Platinum, showcasing her ability to craft songs that feel both fun and replayable.
Meanwhile, “Let Her Cook” and “All Dere” featuring Moneybagg Yo each achieved Gold status, continuing her streak of collaborative success.
Two of her fan-favorite anthems also earned multi-platinum recognition: “Whatchu Know About Me” featuring Sexyy Red reached 2x Platinum, while “TGIF” and “Yeah Glo!” received 2x Platinum and 3x Platinum honors, respectively.
These certifications not only highlight her consistency but also prove her songs have staying power — something that’s often hard to achieve in an era of short-lived viral hits.
Why Fans Keep Coming Back
What makes GloRilla stand out isn’t just her ability to make hits — it’s how relatable she is. She represents a generation of young women who balance ambition with authenticity. Her lyrics talk about independence, loyalty, and perseverance, while her interviews and social media presence show a down-to-earth personality that fans connect with.
She’s also managed to build a brand that goes beyond music. From viral slang to iconic one-liners, GloRilla has become a cultural voice in her own right. Her confidence is contagious, inspiring fans to embrace who they are — flaws, hustle, and all.
That relatability keeps her fanbase loyal. Every release feels like a conversation with supporters rather than a marketing move. That’s part of what makes her trajectory feel so organic — and why her songs continue to stream at such high volumes long after release.
New Music, New Milestones, and What’s Next
In June 2025, GloRilla dropped “Typa,” a single that sampled Keyshia Cole’s “Love.” The nostalgic beat and clever sample choice struck a chord with both old-school R&B lovers and her newer rap audience. It also highlighted her ability to blend eras — paying homage to early-2000s sounds while keeping her modern edge.
As fans anticipate what’s next, rumors of a deluxe version of Glorious or another project in 2026 continue to circulate. Whether she’s rapping over soulful samples or delivering another viral club anthem, GloRilla seems to be hitting her creative stride.
Given her track record, new music will likely continue her streak of high-energy records that inspire confidence and community. And with her expanding trophy shelf and RIAA plaques, it’s safe to say she’s only getting started.
Legacy in the Making
From Ehhthang Ehhthang to Glorious, from viral fame to award-winning recognition, GloRilla’s story embodies growth. Her recent RIAA certifications are not just industry milestones — they’re symbols of perseverance, creativity, and connection.
She’s become a reminder that authenticity wins, even in an industry driven by trends. As GloRilla continues to evolve, her journey stands as an inspiring example for new artists and fans alike: stay consistent, stay genuine, and success will follow.
With multiple platinum records, a BET Award, and a loyal fanbase, GloRilla has earned her moment — and if her recent run is any indication, her “glorious” era has only just begun.
