GloRilla is being sued by an Atlanta-area investor, Aristotle Varner Jr., after he alleged that the “Yeah Glo!” rapper defrauded him out of more than $400,000 for failure to promote him on social media, as she’d initially promised to do.
Varner Jr. revealed his lawsuit against the rapper on The Morning Hustle on Friday (May 24).
“She was [already] big. It’s just — you know — celebrity, cocky, ‘I’m not going to fulfill the contract’ shit. You know how that shit go,” he said.
Check it out below.
A court document uncovered by Spade TV revealed that Varner Jr. says he paid $150,000 for GloRilla to post a collaborative Instagram message, perform an in-person meet-and-greet, and sit down for a 30-minute interview with “celebrity” Asia Varner, who is also the investor’s wife. Varner Jr. alleged that GloRilla only posted the collaborative Instagram post, and didn’t perform the other duties which she was contractually obligated to perform back in 2022.
It’s unclear what relation this has to the contract, but a TikTok posted by Varner Jr.’s Aristotle Investments company in February 2023 shows Glo promoting Varner Jr.’s then-upcoming “free stock class.”
“I asked @glorillapimp to teach me the dance in exchange for some stock lessons… and the rest is history!” the caption reads.
“Here’s the good news! You can come learn with her. Because she’s on tour, we have to do the lessons virtually! Comment ‘learn’ to attend our stock class SUNDAY February 19th 7pm. I’ll personally DM you the link to get in the zoom meeting w/ @glorillapimp.”

HipHopDX has reached out to a representative of GloRilla for comment.
Despite the pending lawsuit, GloRilla is enjoying a spate of career successes.
Megan Thee Stallion recently kickstarted her Hot Girl Summer Tourwhich features support from Glo, and Cardi made a surprise appearance during the stop at New York City’s Madison Square Garden on Tuesday night (May 21).
The trio performed a handful of hits together — “WAP,” “Bongos,” “Tomorrow 2” and “Wanna Be” — while putting on a raunchy show for the Big Apple crowd, complete with moments of synchronized choreography.
GloRilla also took the opportunity to announce that Cardi will be jumping on a remix of her collaboration with Megan, “Wanna Be,” from the Memphis rapper’s recent mixtape Ehhthang Ehhthang.
She told the audience in attendance that a remix of the hit song was “about to drop” and that fans should “stay tuned.”
Taking to X, formerly Twitter, on Tuesday (May 21), the Memphis rapper promised that her new music will inspire her fans to go to the gym more…and that may have some unexpected gains.
“My mixtape literally will make yo ass grow I seen it with my own two eyes,” she said while quote-tweeting a fan who said that Glo’s music “got me doing extra reps in the gym.”
