GloRilla is absolutely thrilled that Rihanna and ASAP Rocky are big fans.

In a brief interview with journalist Shirley Ju, the Memphis rapper shared her excitement over Rihanna and Rocky's recent show of love. "I tweaked, I screamed," she said when asked how it felt to see the clip of Rihanna shared of herself singing along to "TGIF," her recent single. "Soon as I saw it, I screamed so loud. I was like, 'Ahhhh RiRi!'"

Last year, the rapper shared a voicemail message left by her grandmother, in which she suggested the "Tomorrow 2" rapper looks like Rihanna. In her chat with Ju, GloRilla joked that she's related to Rihanna and Rocky. "You know, they're saying me and RiRi kind of related somehow," she said. "I don't know how, but you know. I love her, RiRi I love you. Yeah I fuck with both of them. They're my people. They're my brothers and sisters from another mother. Cousin from another mother!"

In a video shared from Rocky's AWGE fashion show, Rihanna was seen rapping along to GloRilla's single. "I ain't got no n***a and no n***a ain't got me," she rapped in the clip, bursting into laughter. "Where my drink at, man? I'm too old for this shit," Rocky joked.

When GloRilla first saw the video, she posted an enthusiastic reaction. "RIRIIIII AHHHHHHHI can’t breathe," she tweeted. In an interview with Essence last year, she suggested that "older people" had been telling her she looks like the Anti artist.

More recently, GloRilla shared a screenshot of Rihanna DMing her to ask when she'll be releasing her next album. "You got all summer sis!" wrote Rihanna. "I know dis wild hypocritical, but when the album drop?" Well, at least she's self-aware.
