On Sunday (Sept. 1), GloRilla was honored with a key to Memphis. This achievement perfectly coincided with 901 Day, a celebration of the 901 area code.

 The recent event took place in her hometown, with Memphis Mayor Paul Young, rapper and songwriter Kia Shine, and more joining in the festivities. Sharing her joy on Instagram, the CMG rapper wrote, “Memphis made me, Frayser raised me [teary-eyed emoji] I got the key to my cityyyyy ahhhhh [celebration emojis] Happy 901 Day, MEMPHIS!!!!!!”

GloRilla recently made headlines when she updated the lyrics to a new song following backlash from fans over her use of the "R-word." Last week, she shared a snippet of the song on social media. The original lyrics began with, “Ho, you must not know what you started / Me and my b**ch r**arded.”

People on the internet found the use of the “R-word” offensive, derogatory, and a slur. In response to the criticism, GloRilla later posted a new teaser of the song on Instagram, where the controversial term had been replaced with “go naughty.” After the update, she received lots of praise from her followers.
