GloRilla Sued by Atlanta Investor for Alleged $400K Fraud [Video]

GloRilla is facing a lawsuit from Atlanta investor Aristotle Varner Jr., who claims she defrauded him of over $400,000 by failing to fulfill her promotional commitments.

Varner Jr. revealed the lawsuit on The Morning Hustle on Friday (May 24), alleging that GloRilla, despite her rising fame, did not honor their agreement to promote him on social media.

“She was [already] big. It’s just — you know — celebrity, cocky, ‘I’m not going to fulfill the contract’ shit. You know how that shit go,” Varner Jr. said during the interview.

According to court documents obtained by Spade TV, Varner Jr. paid $150,000 for GloRilla to post a collaborative Instagram message, perform an in-person meet-and-greet, and participate in a 30-minute interview with Asia Varner, who is also his wife. Varner Jr. claims that while GloRilla posted the Instagram message, she failed to complete the other obligations.

A TikTok video from February 2023 posted by Varner Jr.’s Aristotle Investments company shows GloRilla promoting an upcoming “free stock class.” The caption read, “I asked @glorillapimp to teach me the dance in exchange for some stock lessons… and the rest is history! Here’s the good news! You can come learn with her. Because she’s on tour, we have to do the lessons virtually! Comment ‘learn’ to attend our stock class SUNDAY February 19th 7pm. I’ll personally DM you the link to get in the zoom meeting w/ @glorillapimp.”

Despite the lawsuit, GloRilla continues to enjoy career successes. She is currently supporting Megan Thee Stallion on her Hot Girl Summer Tour, with a standout performance at New York City’s Madison Square Garden where Cardi B made a surprise appearance. The trio performed hits like “WAP,” “Bongos,” “Tomorrow 2,” and “Wanna Be.”

Additionally, GloRilla announced that Cardi B will feature on a remix of her track “Wanna Be,” from her recent mixtape *Ehhthang Ehhthang*, and promised fans that the remix would be dropping soon.

In a playful social media post, GloRilla also claimed her new music has “superpowers,” suggesting it will inspire her fans to hit the gym more. “My mixtape literally will make yo ass grow I seen it with my own two eyes,” she tweeted, quoting a fan who said her music motivated them to do extra reps at the gym.
