GloRilla signed to Yo Gotti’s label after her viral smash “FNF (Lets Go)” broke the internet. Gotti reportedly gave her a $500k signing bonus.
TMZ talked to former record exec Russell Simmons who gave advice to the newly signed rapper.
“If it was up to me, I would always say don’t waste it all on junk,” he said.
“The junk, I’m not interested in it anymore. Maybe I’m older, I don’t like designer stuff so much. I don’t want a lot of the stuff that I used to want, but, you know, kids have to experience what they do, right? I hope she saves some. You don’t need it all. Operate from a place, a calm place, you’re an artist. You need to be present. Operate from a place of needing nothing. A calm space and the junk that you get when you become a star takes you off course and you lose yourself.”
Is this sound advice?
