GloRilla has declared April 29 “National ‘FNF’ Day” to commemorate the one-year anniversary of the release of the song that launched her career.
In a series of Twitter posts on Friday (April 28), Big Glo let fans know exactly how to celebrate the new holiday.

“FNF anniversary tomorrow,” she wrote. “The day that changed my life.”
In a second post, she added, “Tomorrow national FNF day which means hopping out at red lights all tomorrow. let’s goooooo!”
The Hitkidd-produced “F.N.F. (Let’s Go)” went viral on TikTok upon its April 2022 release, eventually leading to a peak of No. 42 on the Billboard Hot 100. The track has since been certified gold and even scored a Grammy nomination for Best Rap Performance.
The legendary Nas even name-dropped GloRilla and the hit song on his album King’s Disease III‘s closing bonus track “Til My Last Breath.”
“I’m applying pressure, I see why she prеssed (Why she pressed)/ When she with me she GloRilla, FNF (FNF)/N-A-S, I’m steppin’ ’til my last breath (My last breath, yeah).”
The success of “F.N.F.” didn’t come without controversy, however, as Glo encountered legal issues with the song’s producer.
The producer scolded GloRilla on Twitter after the Memphis rapper and her team allegedly tried to obtain ownership of the track.
“So basically these folks are trying to take me to court over ‘FNF’ because they want to OWN the song, BUT they want to own the song to put it on this EP which both parties knew,” Hitkidd wrote. “So tell me how you gone PUT ‘FNF’ in your contract without telling me, AFTER…
“I told you & your MANAGER everyday that we was in LA with Saweetie, that labels are going to try to sign you because of FNF so watch out. I also told you to let me know when labels reach out so we can be on the same page, but you still went and signed my song without telling me.”

He added: “I did my best to protect you and the girls. This is only a portion of what I’ve been through. I’m bringing light to this before word get out like I’m the bad guy. I’m a stand up guy and I stand on business and morals.”
GloRilla responded on Facebook and accused Hitkidd of being “salty” because she ended up signing with Yo Gotti’s CMG collective and not to his label.
“N-ggas been salty every since ian sign to Dey label to be a group for $0 smh,” she wrote along with multiple crying face emojis.

GloRilla added that HitKidd sold the song for $50,000 before it went viral.
“One more thing before I log out N-GGA YOU SIGNED DA SONG AWAY THE FIRST WEEK( WITHOUT ME KNOWING) FOR 50k BECAUSE YOU DIDNT KNOW HOW BIG IT WAS GONE BE !!!!! SHOULD I KEEP GOING ??????” she asked.
It’s unclear where the issue landed.
