The "FTCU" artist responded to a fan's tweet pointing out her resemblance to Rih in an 18-year-old photo.

In 2022, GloRilla undeniably had one of the most impressive comeups of any new artist. Her "F.N.F." single (and its remix) continues to chiefly blast at clubs all over the country. More recent weeks have seen her deliver on singles like "On Wat U On" with Moneybagg Yo as well as her latest solo effort, "Internet Trolls."

People obviously love her for her musical talents and unique voice. Of course, many also love the Memphis native for her sense of humour. Unlike other female rappers, she opted to not go under the knife and get a figure-enhancing BBL. Rather, she's been embracing her petite body, and clearly letting the world know that she thinks she's thick – regardless of what haters may say.

Another recent comment from GloRilla that's been making rounds online is her resemblance to Rihanna. According to the Anyways, Life's Great... hitmaker, she and the expecting mother are "twins." She previously made these comments during an interview on the Grammys red carpet. Following that, they've now become a topic of discourse on Twitter over the weekend.

It all began on Friday (February 17) afternoon, when Big Glo quote tweeted a throwback image of RiRi and Lil Kim at an award show in 2005. The Barbadian performer was roughly 17 years old at the time, and looks much younger than her current adult face that she's grown into. The original poster noticed that the photo of Rihanna backs up the CMG artist's claims that they're "twins," altering the caption to read, "Lil Kim & GloRilla, 2005."

When she saw the post herself, the 23-year-old wrote "Been told y'all dats my twin," earning upwards of 80K likes. Thus far, the reactions to her comment have been varied, with some vehemently denying that the rising star could pass for the Bad Gal, while others agree with her take. "She also say she thick," one person pointed out, markedly poking fun at GloRilla's delusion over the size of her behind.
