GloRilla Reacts To Preacher Quoting “Yeah Glo” Lyrics In His Sermon
GloRilla has a hit on her hands with her new single “Yeah Glo,” which has gone viral as social media users can’t get enough of the Memphis rapper delivering positive affirmations atop a catchy beat.
The single, her highest charting solo offering to date, has earned her a few new fans. The video has racked up over eight million views in the three weeks since release and earned Glo a LeBron James co-sign.
Not only is the song ringing out in the Lakers’ locker room, but it’s being used to preach the word.
On Sunday (March 3) Rev. Melech E. M. Thomas quoted the song in his sermon, telling the congregation about “a new gospel artist” named Gloria Hallelujah Woods.
He also shared a lyric from Glo’s “Tomorrow” before urging churchgoers to “Look at your neighbor and say “Yeah Glo.”
The reverend posted a clip of his sermon on Instagram, revealing he’s a long-time GloRilla fan, and he often quotes her lyrics during sermons. He also praised her for pushing motivational messages in her music.
“My love for preaching has always been influenced by the similarities between Black preachers and rappers. From content, delivery, stage presence, and, sometimes, even the message,” he shared. “@glorillapimp consistently puts out affirming and inspirational lyrical content and…consistently, her lyrics find their way into my sermons.
“This small clip from Sunday’s sermon speaks to how quickly God can “spin the block” on you, using a bar from Big Glo’s song “Tomorrow 2”! I hope that this serves as a reminder that no matter how rough your day may end, you can always fall in love with your Tomorrow!”
Meanwhile, GloRilla shared the clip on X, writing, “PREACH ! Yeah Glo.”
