Rapper GloRilla made headlines during Super Bowl LIX after placing a jaw-dropping $128,000 bet on the Kansas City Chiefs to win. Unfortunately for her, the Chiefs fell short, and GloRilla walked away empty-handed—except for a bit of embarrassment.
Before the game, GloRilla was living it up in a luxury suite alongside Megan Thee Stallion, soaking in the electric atmosphere of the biggest night in football. However, as the Chiefs struggled on the field, so did GloRilla’s hopes of cashing in on her hefty bet. By the end of the game, her six-figure wager was lost.
To add insult to injury, the Philadelphia Eagles, the team she didn’t bet on, celebrated their victory by blasting her hit song “Yeah Glo!” in the locker room. The irony wasn’t lost on fans, as the Eagles turned up to her music while GloRilla dealt with her financial loss.
While GloRilla faced a tough loss, her friend and fellow rapper Megan Thee Stallion had better luck. Megan placed her bet on the game and walked away a winner, adding to GloRilla’s disappointment. Taking to social media, GloRilla vented about her loss, jokingly suggesting that the Eagles could have given her a heads-up before she placed her bet.
Despite the six-figure setback, GloRilla isn’t letting the loss dampen her spirits. She’s gearing up for “The Glorious Tour,” set to kick off in March. If ticket sales match the hype, her Super Bowl loss might soon feel like a distant memory.
According to Reuters, the rapper’s experience is a reminder of the risks of sports betting, which hit a record $1.39 billion in 2024. While GloRilla’s bet didn’t pay off, she’s far from alone in facing such losses.
