After further investigation, the screenshot itself appears to be a photoshop of GloRilla’s Wikipedia page. However, a freestyle video from January 2022 seems to confirm that Hallelujah is indeed GloRilla’s middle name.
In the video she raps, “Every time I win I owe it to my Lord and savior/ Middle name Hallelujah so….. yeah”

We all know GloRilla’s faith is strong, and based on her love of gospel music, this wouldn’t be far-fetched. She recently shared with Refinery29, that her passion “most definitely” came from the church.
“I got a lot of solos in the church choir and growing up the only music my mama let us listen to was gospel. We used to have to sneak and listen to the other music,” she said.
She also admits that her mother still has hopes for her to one day become a gospel rapper.
Maybe we’ll hear some gospel-inspired tracks on her new “Anyways, Life’s Great…” EP dropping on Nov. 11.
