GloRilla won a lot of important awards this year, and the Memphis chart-topper is glad that people are noticing her success. Billboard ranked the 25-year-old as the best female rapper of 2024. The list was based on the accomplishments of 10 women artists.

When the “HOLLON” rapper shared the news on social media, she not only praised her own accomplishment, but she also praised all the other women in Hip-Hop who made the list.

GloRilla yelled “Ayeee!” with two party emojis, reading the full list on X on Wednesday (Dec. 4). “S/o to all the women on the list!!!” She ended with a fire emoji.

The list, which came out for the second time this year, changed Big Glo’s spot. When it was first released in June, the “Blessed” singer was ranked no. 6. In the most current list, Megan Thee Stallion is at No. 2, Nicki Minaj is at No. 3, Sexyy Red is at No. 4, and Latto rounds out the top 5. In ascending order, Doechii, Doja Cat, JT, Rapsody, and Cardi B make up the second half of the list.

In 2024, GloRilla would cover VIBE’s digital edition, take over social media with the positive song “Yeah Glo!,” open for Megan Thee Stallion’s Hot Girl Summer Tour, drop the hit collaboration with the Houston rapper “Wanna Be,” get Rihanna’s support for “TGIF,” and be nominated for two 2025 Grammys for “Yeah Glo!” in the categories of Best Rap Performance and Best Rap Song.

She also put out her first record, Glorious, which featured Megan Thee Stallion, Latto, Sexyy Red, Kirk Franklin, T-Pain, and more. In its first week, the album sold 69,000 equivalent album units and reached No. 5 on the Billboard 200. It was her first project to make it to the top 10.

The rapper from “LET HER COOK” said, “I was supposed to release my first album last year, but I was still getting used to things and working a lot.”

“By the end of the year, the project was pretty much done.” I thought, “Okay, I need to give them the mixtape before I give them the album,” since I hadn’t put out anything in a year. That’s why I said I’d give them the mixtape first: to get them used to me again and give them a feel for who I am. That will then get me ready for the record. It did its job, which was to get people ready for my record. The mixtape did well.
