While Big Glo and the Houston Hottie are tight these days, that wasn’t always the case as they got candid when asking for each other’s honest initial impression of one another when they first connected.
“I first met you at your Hottieween party last year, and I ain’t gonna lie, I was kinda shy,” Glo said. “You were just acting like you weren’t drinking that night… I’m like, ‘This b—h ain’t acting like she ain’t drinking, like, What’s up with this b—h?'”
The CMG rapper continued: “You was nice as hell when I first met you, on God. I remember when somebody recorded a video of us when I first met you and we was hugging like it just felt like a grandma hug from side-to-side. Where have you been all my life? You were sweet as f–k. I mean, like, you come off as standoff-ish. You come off like you nice, but you standoff-ish. So that’s why I told you I was shy.”
As for Megan’s impression of Glo, she didn’t know if the Instagram shenanigans and craziness was going to actually match her personality in real life.
“I really didn’t know what you was gonna be like before I met you,” Meg said. “I was like okay, from afar, you was turnt, but I didn’t know how turnt it was gonna be. I ain’t know if it was some bulls–t for, like, Instagram, or if it was gonna be real life. But then when I got to know you, I was like, ‘Yes, this might be my cousin! This is my people!’ So yeah, I thought you was really sweet too, and I thought you was funny as hell.”
While on the road together, their friendship grew with heartfelt moments taking place like when Megan surprised Glo with flowers for her birthday and the Memphis native returned the favor in Houston when presenting Thee Stallion with a custom “M” plaque.
“I love the bond that me and @glorillapimp have built in these past few weeks!” Megan Thee Stallion captioned a June Instagram post. “You are my sister 4L , you and cola never getting rid of me.”
Glo replied in the comment section: “I luv you 4L Meg [heart emoji, teary-eyed emoji] I’m so glad I got to do dis tour with you I wouldn’t have had it no other way [party emoji] I can’t wait for dem to hear dat hot shit ahhhh so excited.”
Megan and GloRilla’s “Wanna Be” has maintained top 20 status on the Billboard Hot 100, where it currently sits at No. 13 on this week’s chart.
