In recent months, there’s been a growing conversation about the perceived oversexualization of today’s top female rappers—names like Sexyy Red, Ice Spice, Megan Thee Stallion, and GloRilla often leading the discourse. Critics argue that these artists are setting a bad example for young women by showing too much skin and focusing heavily on sexual themes in their music. Some have even suggested that record labels are pushing these women to adopt hypersexual personas to boost sales. GloRilla, however, has a clear and direct message for those critics.

On Thursday, GloRilla took to social media to set the record straight, emphasizing that her choices are her own and not influenced by her label. In a candid video, the “Yeah Glo!” rapper addressed the comments head-on, leaving no room for misinterpretation.

“I was dancing to my song, holding my titties. Don’t worry about what me and my titties doing,” she said with her trademark confidence. “I bought ‘em… Talking about some shit like, ‘Oh, the label is making GloRilla do this.’ Bitch, the label ain’t make me do shit. A hoe gonna be a hoe.”

GloRilla’s fiery response underscores a broader point about agency and self-expression in the music industry. While it’s true that labels, agents, and producers may offer input, the idea that these women are merely puppets being manipulated for profit is both outdated and reductive. GloRilla, like her peers, is clearly capable of making her own decisions about how she presents herself to the world.

“Y’all always thought, ‘They tryna oversexualize Glo like she was such a tomboy.’ Bitch, I was a tomboy when I had no titties. I got titties now,” she added, pointing out the double standards that persist in the industry.

It’s a point worth noting—since the birth of hip-hop, male rappers have frequently flaunted their bodies and boasted about their sexual conquests without facing the same level of scrutiny. When artists like LL Cool J, Jay-Z, or Drake rapped about their love lives or appeared shirtless, few questioned whether their labels were forcing them to do so. Yet, when female MCs show the same confidence in their sexuality, it sparks endless debates about appropriateness and artistic control.

GloRilla’s defiant stance is a reminder that she, and women like her, have the right to express themselves however they choose, without having their decisions second-guessed by outsiders.
