GloRilla is currently facing a significant legal challenge after being accused of allegedly appropriating a popular catchphrase from an influencer and using it in one of her songs. The individual who initiated the lawsuit asserts that after she successfully made a specific phrase go viral on various social media platforms, the Memphis-based rapper incorporated it into her lyrics. Furthermore, she emphasizes that the similarities are too stark to be mere coincidence, suggesting a direct connection between her viral success and GloRilla’s lyrics.

GloRilla Faces Serious Legal Action Over Controversial Lyric “All Natural, No BBL”

In the legal documents obtained by Billboard, the influencer Natalie Henderson is taking action against GloRilla, asserting that the rapper lifted her viral catchphrase, “All natural, no BBL,” for use in the song ‘Never Find’ from her debut album, ‘Glorious.’ In this track, listeners can hear GloRilla rapping, “Natural, no BBL, but I’m still gon’ give him hell. He ain’t gotta flip no coin, still gon’ give him heads or tails.” Natalie claims she is the one responsible for popularizing this phrase online, which champions the beauty of natural bodies while also critiquing individuals who opt for surgical enhancements such as butt lifts.

What makes this situation even more intriguing is the assertion made by Henderson’s legal team in the court documents. They argue that GloRilla allegedly did not seek permission to utilize the phrase in her lyrics at all. The attorney representing Henderson elaborated, stating, “There are unmistakable similarities between the two works.” This suggests a clear connection between GloRilla’s artistic expression and Henderson’s original viral content, raising questions about intellectual property rights and creative ownership in the music industry.

The legal filings further emphasize the striking resemblance not only in the phrase but also in the overall composition, including lyrics, arrangement, and melody. As of now, GloRilla has remained silent regarding the lawsuit and has not made any public statements on her social media platforms addressing the ongoing legal matter.

Examining GloRilla’s Previous Legal Challenges and Controversies

This incident is not an isolated event in GloRilla’s career; she has previously encountered legal controversies. Remember the drama that unfolded back in November 2024 when Plies took issue with GloRilla, Megan Thee Stallion, and Soulja Boy? As reported by TSR, Plies accused GloRilla and Megan of plagiarizing his 2008 track, ‘Me & My Goons,’ for their collaborative song ‘Wanna Be.’ This situation highlights the complexities and potential pitfalls of creativity in the music industry, where artists often draw inspiration from one another.

Plies went on to assert that Soulja Boy originally used his “infrared countdown beat” in ‘Pretty Boy Swag’ back in 2010 without securing permission. Subsequently, he claimed that Megan and GloRilla sampled it without proper clearance. This case illustrates the ongoing challenges artists face regarding copyright and the importance of obtaining the necessary rights to avoid legal repercussions.

However, by March 2025, Plies had a change of heart and decided to withdraw the lawsuit “without prejudice.” This legal term means he retains the option to refile the case in court at a later date, leaving the door open for future legal battles. It reflects the ongoing tension within the industry regarding the fine line between inspiration and infringement.

GloRilla’s Career Momentum Remains Strong Despite Legal Challenges

Despite facing these legal hurdles, GloRilla continues to push forward and enjoy a successful career. Her debut album, ‘Glorious,’ which was released in October 2024, is still generating buzz and making significant waves in the music scene. Several tracks from the album have recently climbed the charts, landing spots on Billboard’s Hot 100, demonstrating her popularity and the resonance of her music with fans.

Additionally, GloRilla showcased her talents and star power during a sold-out show on her tour back in April. Record label executives made a surprise appearance during her performance, presenting her with multiple plaques that celebrate the success of various songs from ‘Glorious.’ This moment highlights her growing influence and recognition in the industry.

Moreover, GloRilla’s accolades continue to pile up, as she recently celebrated a significant achievement at the 2025 BET Awards, where she won the Best Gospel/Inspirational Award for her powerful track ‘Rain Down On Me,’ featuring Kirk Franklin and Maverick City Music. This recognition underscores her versatility as an artist and her ability to connect with diverse audiences through her music.
