Memphis rapper GloRilla is on the rise, not just as a successful artist, but with big plans to become a billionaire in the future. Recently, she announced she will be headlining “The Glorious Tour,” a major step in her journey towards achieving even more financial success. The tour, spanning 22 cities, will begin on March 5 and wrap up on April 18 at the iconic Coachella music festival.
Her tour will feature stops in cities like Oklahoma City, Dallas, and Houston, before reaching larger stages in New York City, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas. This tour marks a new chapter in her rapidly growing career, and she’s determined to make each performance count.
GloRilla’s Hustle: From Working Two Jobs to Building Her Career
Before her rise to fame, GloRilla, born Gloria Hallelujah Woods, worked tirelessly to fund her dreams. She worked long hours at both Nike and FedEx, pulling shifts that sometimes stretched over 12 hours a day. According to an interview with AfroTech, she was determined to support her music career and cover the costs of studio time and video production.
“I was doing 12 hours at Nike and maybe seven to eight hours at FedEx. I was just doing all that to sponsor my rapid career,” she shared. The hard work paid off as her music started to gain traction, but GloRilla knew she had to adjust her spending habits to keep growing.
Learning Financial Discipline with Yo Gotti’s Guidance
Despite her growing success, GloRilla’s early financial habits weren’t perfect. She admitted in a podcast discussion that she was spending as much money as she made. This led to financial struggles, and she realized she needed professional help to manage her income. Fortunately, Yo Gotti, her mentor and label boss at Collective Music Group, stepped in to help.
“My first year, I blew up. This was before I got an accountant,” GloRilla explained. “I was just spending money, and I’m like, ‘OK, I’m getting it. I’m making it, but I’m spending it too.’” Thanks to Gotti’s advice, she now has an accountant to help her manage her finances and plan for the future.
The Glorious Tour: A Key Step Toward Her Billionaire Dreams
GloRilla’s “The Glorious Tour” is set to be a significant milestone in her path to wealth. With a packed schedule ahead, she will visit 22 cities across the country, including major markets like New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles. Joining her on tour are artists Real Boston Richey and Queen Key, who will add their own flair to the tour.
As part of the tour, GloRilla will also perform at some high-profile events, such as the Dreamville Festival on April 6 and Coachella on April 11 and 18. These performances offer more than just entertainment; they represent another step in GloRilla’s ongoing journey to elevate her brand and financial portfolio.
Before her tour begins, GloRilla will perform at the Honda Battle of the Bands at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood on February 1, further increasing her visibility and presence in the music scene.
Financial Growth, Music Career, and Future Success
Looking ahead, GloRilla’s rise in the music industry is just the beginning of her aspirations to reach billionaire status. She’s committed to staying grounded and focused on her financial health, using her newfound discipline to pave the way for long-term success. With the continued support of her mentor Yo Gotti, she is setting herself up to be not just a successful artist, but a financial powerhouse in the years to come.
