Fans praised her for listening to their concerns and making the change.

Furthermore, Glo addressed rumors of being sexualized by her label, CMG, in a video where she confidently asserted her autonomy and ownership over her body.

With her key to the city and her willingness to listen and respond to criticism, GloRilla continues to make waves in the music industry and stand up for herself in the face of controversy.
