GloRilla Admits Yo Gotti Helped Curb Her Spending By Hiring An Accountant
Gloria Hallelujah Woods, known to the world as recording artist GloRilla recently revealed that she became financially responsible after getting a great tip from the man who signed her, fellow Memphis native, Yo Gotti.
The Memphis rapper was on “The Shop” podcast with co-hosts Maverick Carter and Paul Rivera discussing several things along with Machine Gun Kelly, Hit-Boy, Johnny Manziel, and Alycia Baumgardner. When the topic of finances was brought up, GloRilla admitted to being a big spender when fame hit for her when her first record blew up.
”It didn’t take the song long to blow up. It blew up in like, three days. So, I was just traveling the world like, two days after I dropped that song ‘cause all the labels were calling me everywhere. So yeah, my life changed, changed right after I dropped that song.”
Although she states that she does spend a lot of money, she also confessed that she became better with finances after Yo Gotti arranged for her to have an accountant. She came to realize that she was spending as much as she was making and had to change course.
“My first year I blew up, this was before I got an accountant. I was just spending money, and I’m like, ‘Okay, I’m getting it. I’m making it but I’m spending it too,’” she said. “So like, I really wasn’t just in tune… So, Gotti had got me an accountant.”
GloRilla was given great advice from someone who has talked about being fiscally responsible himself. Last summer, while appearing on Big Boy’s Neighborhood on Power 106 in Los Angeles, he told the radio personality that he “can’t afford” to fly private. Well, he knows he can but he insists that he tells himself that to keep more paper in his pocket. He explained that he wants to save money, so spending like that would have the opposite effect.
“I don’t even fly private,” he said. “I can’t afford it. I fly first class, and I’m keeping my paper. I can’t afford it up here [in my head].”
