Rapper GloRilla is facing fresh controversy after social media influencer Natalie Henderson, known online as @slimdabodylast, filed a lawsuit against her in a Louisiana court, alleging lyrical theft.
At the heart of the suit is the phrase “natural, no BBL,” which GloRilla used in her track “Never Find.” Henderson claims she popularized the line first and that GloRilla unlawfully copied her creative work.
“There are unmistakable similarities between the two works,” Henderson’s attorney stated, according to Billboard. “Based upon a side-by-side comparison of the two songs, a layperson could hear similarities in the lyrics, arrangement, melody, core expression, content, and other compositional elements in both songs and conclude that the songs are essentially identical.”
As of now, GloRilla has not responded publicly to the lawsuit.
This legal drama follows another wave of criticism the Memphis rapper faced after she won the 2025 BET Award for Best Gospel/Inspirational Artist. The win was for her collaborative song “Rain Down On Me,” featuring gospel heavyweights Kirk Franklin, Maverick City Music, Kierra Sheard, and Chandler Moore.
While some fans celebrated her genre-crossing success, gospel singer Deitrick Haddon voiced his dissatisfaction. Taking to social media, he argued that the award reflects deeper issues within the gospel music industry.
“The gospel music industry needs an overhaul. Period,” Haddon wrote. “After last night’s show, it’s an indicator that we just need a complete reset… It’s hard to watch the Bobby Jones Gospel Award being given to somebody that’s not in our space.”
He also criticized the industry’s stagnation: “We can’t keep honoring the same few people every year and expect the genre to grow… Gospel music deserves better. The next generation deserves better. We all do.”
With both a lawsuit and an industry debate now swirling around her, GloRilla finds herself at the center of conversations about creativity, credit, and cultural recognition.
