GloRilla scored a touchdown when it came to recruiting a love interest for her latest music video.
The “TGIF” rapper gets up close and personal with NFL star Xavier Legette in the new video for her single “Typa.” Keyshia Cole — whose 2005 song “Love” GloRilla sampled for the track — also makes a cameo in the video.
The video features GloRilla, 25, and Legette, 24, enjoying some sexy moments together, as well as her rapping while standing on a city street.
Cole, 43, appears in a cameo in which she gives GloRilla a pep talk about love and heartbreak.
“So Keyshia, have you ever been with somebody that make you wanna be a better version of yourself, but you scared to show them the worst parts of yourself?” Glorilla asks, to which Cole replies, “If you don’t show them who you really are, how will you know if they truly love you?”

Ultimately, Legette’s character proves he’s the dependable sort when he bails GloRilla out of jail.
Legette is a wide receiver for the Carolina Panthers. He went viral last year after he revealed that he enjoys eating raccoon, as he finds vegetables like bell peppers and onions “too exotic” for his taste.
“It’s got its own touch,” he said on the St. Brown Brothers podcast. “You know everybody says it still tastes like chicken, but raccoon got its own touch though.”
Meanwhile, Cole spoke glowingly of GloRilla (née Gloria Hallelujah Woods) in an interview on Angela Yee’s Way Up radio show earlier this month.

“I like Glo. She remind me of me. She little, petite, crazy, talk s—, funny. She’s so cute, and I like the way she be rapping,” she said. “So, she’s cool.”
GloRilla is set to perform at the BET Awards on June 9, and will also take the stage at Hot 97’s Summer Jam and the ESSENCE Festival of Culture. In July, she’ll host her first annual Glo Bash in her native Memphis.
“I’m working on my next album so I’m trying to see the type of lane that I want to go in,” Glo told PEOPLE in April. “Because the songs are good but I just be trying to listen from a fan point of view… [Those around me] like it but sometimes it be tricky because I think they like a lot of everything that I put out. So it be tricky sometimes.”
