GloRilla Says She’s Related To THIS Rapper
The Memphis-bred rapper appeared on an episode of ‘Bottoms Up With Fannita,’ which was published on Monday, February 26, via YouTube. About two and a half minutes into the interview, Glo revealed that she and Soulja Boy share the same birthday.
She went on to reveal that “back in the day,” he was her favorite artist, and she had the “biggest crush” on him.
However, as the conversation continued, Glo would share another more surprising fact about herself amid the mention of Lil Uzi Vert.
“I — that’s my cousin,” the rapper told the host. “Yeah, that’s my real cousin.”
From there, the rapper explained why they have yet to collaborate on music.
Check out the clip below.

To note, as of Wednesday, February 28, it appears that this portion of the interview has been removed from the episode. Multiple outlets, such as HipHopDx and Complex, report that GloRilla made the comment around the video’s 2:55-3:00 minute mark.
However, current footage appears to show a skip or cut in the final edit.
