GloRilla dropped the Rain Down On Me video the day after she won her first gospel BET Award. Kirk Franklin is on it. Maverick City. Kierra Sheard. Benny Boom directed. Lace socks. Choir robes. The girl from the pews before the girl from the club.
At the awards she said she was scared to even ask Kirk. He said yes. The song had been sitting in the vault. That tracks. A lot of us have a church song we never played for the group chat.
Deitrick Haddon did not like a rapper winning gospel. Fine. Gospel has always been a language people take with them when they leave the building. Glo is Gloria Hallelujah Woods. The middle name was already the thesis.
I grew up in both rooms. Saturday night does not cancel Sunday. This video is just her saying that out loud, grills and all. Nobody asked permission.
