Steelers Fan And Rapper GloRilla Revealing She Plans To Drop A Song Like Wiz Khalifa’s Black And Yellow: “Trying To Work On A Song For The Steelers”

The Pittsburgh Steelers boast a rich history and a devoted fan base, renowned for their unwavering support. Among their illustrious supporters is Gloria Hallelujah Woods, affectionately known as GloRilla. She is a prominent rapper and songwriter. Recently, she graced The Pivot podcast alongside former Steelers safety Ryan Clark. She discussed her latest album, dissected the team's offseason maneuvers, and teased an upcoming anthem for Steelers enthusiasts, reminiscent of Wiz Khalifa's iconic "Black and Yellow" anthem from 2011.

During her captivating stint on the podcast, Clark and Woods shared a special connection over their mutual adoration for the Steelers. She recounted witnessing the Steelers' triumphant victory over the Arizona Cardinals in the Super Bowl, a game in which Clark himself played. Clark asked Woods about the Steelers' acquisition of Russell Wilson, to which she expressed palpable excitement about. 

“I’m so happy about that. We are going to go to the Super Bowl next year. He** yeah and we finna get seven. I’m trying to work on a song for the Steelers. I want to do what Wiz Khalifa did with Black and Yellow. I want to be able to make a song, but it has to be the right song. I bleed black and yellow. I am a real Steelers fan.”

Khalifa is another well-known figure who happens to be a huge Steelers fan. His song, released in 2011, quickly became a sensation. Now, Woods expresses her aspiration to follow suit when the opportunity arises. Khalifa's anthem captivated Steeler Nation, instantly becoming a favorite. The prospect of a new hit from a renowned rapper representing the Steelers would undoubtedly excite fans.

Former NFL player Fred Taylor, who faced the Steelers 11 times during his career, couldn't help but wonder how Woods, hailing from the South, became a Steelers fan.

“I just know I have been a Steelers fan since I was three years old. I don’t know how I became one, but I just knew since I was three years old and nobody in my family was a Steelers fan… I had to sh** on everybody because we have the most rings.”

Taylor and Woods shared a playful moment, reminiscing about how when she was born, he was busy challenging the Steelers on the field. He confidently claimed that he used to give the Steelers the business. Taylor's impressive stats against the Steelers include 215 carries for 934 yards and nine touchdowns in 11 games throughout his career.

Steelers' George Pickens And Mike Tomlin Welcomed GloRilla To Pittsburgh

In early January, Woods made her inaugural trip to Pittsburgh, where she spent time with Steelers standout wide receiver George Pickens. They indulged in local cuisine, explored the city, toured the facilities, and she had the honor of meeting her favorite coach, Mike Tomlin. Their encounter was deeply touching as Woods couldn't contain her excitement upon meeting Tomlin, and the feeling was mutual - Tomlin was thrilled she recognized him, and she was equally elated that he knew of her. It was a heartwarming moment they both cherished.

The Steelers presented Woods with a personalized jersey, a gift she treasured dearly. They even allowed her to suit up in pads, capturing some lighthearted moments as she brimmed with enthusiasm. As a devoted Steelers fan, Woods eagerly anticipates the team's return to winning crucial games.

Having a celebrity endorse your favorite team is always thrilling, but it's even more special when they share your passion and enthusiasm. Despite ascending to stardom in the rap industry, Woods remains grounded and appreciative of the opportunities her success affords her. Her visit to the Steelers' facility and Pittsburgh was one such cherished experience she holds dear. She values these moments and firmly believes her beloved Steelers will be Super Bowl contenders in 2024.
