GloRilla has teased new music with Lil Uzi Vert — but the two rappers are apparently more than just collaborators.
During an appearance on the Past Your Bedtime podcast, the “F.N.F.” hitmaker revealed that she and Uzi are actually related.

“That’s my cousin,” she said when asked about the Philadelphia rapper, much to the shock of host Fannita Leggett. “Yeah, that’s my real cousin.”
When Leggett quizzed GloRilla why she and Uzi have yet to release a song together, she replied: “We actually working on it. We had started. We gon’ get it together. Well, we never started on a song but we gotta get it together.”

GloRilla and Lil Uzi Vert aren’t the only rappers to share a surprising familial bond. In an interview with HipHopDX last year, Flava Flav revealed that he’s cousins with several members of the Wu-Tang Clan.
“In the Wu-Tang Clan, I have three blood family members that a lot don’t even know,” he said. “RZA, GZA, and ODB. ODB was my cousin.”

The Public Enemy legend also shared a favorite memory of the late rapper, saying: “The last time that I was with ODB was in Aspen, Colorado. We did a gig together, and this was one week before he passed away.
“It was never a convo to have me part of the group, because they were always doing their thing and I was always doing my thing. But then we came together and did our thing.”
Nas also recently discovered that he’s related Tracy Morgan and began “crying” when he learned the news, according to the comedian and actor.
While detailing his experience on the TV show Finding Your Roots last year, Morgan recalled the rap legend’s emotional reaction to their shared lineage.

“I turn the last page, and guess who’s sitting there? Nas. Me and Nas is third cousins on my mom’s side,” he said. “Me and Esco was always tight before that. I did a show years ago on Comedy Central called One Mic that was for Nas’ mom that just passed away. So me and Esco always been tight.”
He continued: “I called him up, and I say, ‘Yo Esco.’ He said, ‘What up Trey?’ And I said, ‘I just did Finding Your Roots. Me and you related. He started crying, I started crying. And I said to him, ‘If you ever need me, I’m there, Cuz.’ He said, ‘Cuz, if you ever need me, I’m there.’”
