GloRilla And Keyshia Cole Unite For 'Typa' Live At 2025 BET Awards
GloRilla brought Glorious energy to the 2025 BET Awards stage and delivered her latest R&B-flavored collaboration. Live from the Peacock Theater in downtown Los Angeles, the Memphis rap star kicked off her performance with tap-dance choreography and a crisp white tuxedo. Joined by backup dancers, GloRilla stole the spotlight with 'Let Her Cook' from her debut album. As the vintage-glam inspired set continued, the 25-year-old brought out Keyshia Cole for the performance debut of their collaboration 'Typa.' The chart-topper draped herself in a white fur coat and sat at a grand piano to introduce the veteran R&B singer. Adorned in a crystal bodysuit and grand white feathers, the 43-year-old sat poised on the piano before singing her 2005 classic 'Love,' which is sampled in 'Typa.' The trending track initially made rounds on TikTok before its official release last week. Keyshia Cole also joined GloRilla in the music video for the track, which stars NFL star Xavier Legette. The Carolina Panthers' wide receiver plays the perfect love interest for Big Glo as she runs down all of the qualifications. '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 in the creative visual. The R&B star assured, 'If you don't show them who you really are, how will you know if they truly love you?'

Is Xavier Legette's steamy kiss with GloRilla a PR stunt or a real love story in the making?
Xavier Legette is rumored to be dating Grammy-nominated rapper GloRilla (Getty Images) NFL wide receiver Xavier Legette is used to making headlines with his performance on the field, but lately, it's his off-field moves that have fans buzzing. The Carolina Panthers' rising star has stirred up major attention after appearing as rapper GloRilla's love interest in her latest music video 'Typa. ' From their sultry bedroom scenes to the chemistry they radiated on camera, fans are left wondering—are these two simply collaborators, or is there something more? What's really going on between Xavier Legette and GloRilla after that passionate on-screen kiss? Xavier Legette, known for his Southern charm, viral accent, and unapologetically bold style, isn't new to the social media spotlight. But this time, it's not about his unique personality or his love for raccoons—yes, really—it's about the steamy visuals shared with the Grammy-nominated rapper. Featured on the cover art of 'Typa,' Legette is seen getting extremely close with GloRilla, setting the tone for a music video that's intimate, eye-catching, and loaded with relationship rumors. GloRilla – Typa (Official Music Video) In the video, which dropped Friday morning, the 24-year-old NFL wideout and the 'Tomorrow' hitmaker take their roles beyond surface-level flirtation. At one point, GloRilla, clad in white lingerie, shares a passionate kiss with a shirtless Legette in what looks like a heated bedroom rendezvous. This scene—arguably the most talked-about part—has viewers speculating whether the duo's chemistry is strictly professional or crossing into something personal. Adding more intrigue to the storyline is R&B icon Keyshia Cole, who makes a cameo during a mid-video conversation with GloRilla. Given that 'Typa' samples Cole's classic track 'Love,' her presence adds nostalgic weight and another layer of authenticity to the video. But for many, it's Legette and GloRilla who have stolen the show. What has added fuel to the romantic speculation is the fact that neither GloRilla nor Legette has publicly addressed the nature of their relationship. Legette, who just wrapped a stellar rookie season with 49 receptions, nearly 500 receiving yards, and four touchdowns, has kept his personal life under wraps since his 2024 draft into the NFL. Similarly, GloRilla has rarely let fans in on her private affairs—until now. 'The lyrics of 'Typa' talk about her love for a country man with, uh, other features (just listen for yourself),' which makes Legette a fitting choice for the role. Whether this is a savvy PR move blending music and sports for mutual clout, or the beginning of something genuine, remains to be seen. Either way, it's one of the most talked-about crossovers of the year. So, is it all a calculated move or the spark of something real? As fans wait for confirmation—serious dating rumors or just another collaboration?

Xavier Legette featured in cover art for rapper GloRilla's new single
Xavier Legette featured in cover art for rapper GloRilla's new single Show Caption Hide Caption Luke Kuechly praises 2025 HOF class Carolina Panthers legend Luke Kuechly has nothing but great things to say about the 2025 Pro Football Hall of Fame class. What NFL players do during the offseason is entirely their prerogative. Some try to pursue rap careers, others enjoy hanging out on boats, and still others take photoshoots with rappers in the hopes of being featured on the cover art of a new single. Carolina Panthers wide receiver Xavier Legette picked the third choice. When rapper GloRilla announced she's releasing a new single, "Typa," on Friday, her social media post included the cover art for the song. The photo she chose for the single prominently features the Panthers' second-year receiver sitting behind the rapper as she counts a stack of $100 bills. CAROLINA PANTHERS SCHEDULE: Games, dates, TV channels, predictions for 2025 season Legette entered the NFL last year after the Panthers selected him with the final pick in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft. Playing in 16 games, he led the team with 84 targets and 49 receptions and was second with his 497 receiving yards and four touchdowns behind veteran Adam Thielen. The second-year South Carolina product is projected to enter the 2025 season as the team's third starter at receiver next to Thielen and incoming rookie – and fellow first-round pick – Tetairoa McMillan. GloRilla is a rapper from Memphis, Tennessee. She released her first commercial mixtape, "Ehhthang Ehhthang," last April before debuting her first studio album, "Glorious," in October. "Typa" will be her first single since she the three she released off of her debut album.

Panthers Wide Receiver Xavier Legette Stuns in Acting Debut
Panthers Wide Receiver Xavier Legette Stuns in Acting Debut originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Most second-year wide receivers focus on route trees, film study, and perfecting their release. But Xavier Legette? He just added 'music video heartthrob' to his growing résumé. The 24-year-old Carolina Panthers wideout has stepped into a spotlight few NFL players ever do, starring as the romantic lead in GloRilla's sizzling new music video, Typa, which dropped recently and already has fans talking. And no, this isn't a blink-and-you-miss-it cameo. Legette takes center stage in a series of steamy scenes that have sparked headlines, social media speculation, and a surprising new level of celebrity. At one point in the video, the shirtless 6'1', 221-pound receiver shares an intimate moment with the Grammy-nominated rapper, whose song samples Keyshia Cole's hit Love. Their chemistry is undeniable, and it didn't take long for rumors to swirl online. The former South Carolina Gamecock made waves in 2024 with 497 receiving yards and 4 touchdowns as a rookie. But now, he's building a personal brand that goes beyond the gridiron. It's a savvy move in today's NFL, where players who build their off-field image can increase endorsement value and fan reach. Think Travis Kelce, but with a Southern drawl and a taste for raccoon (yes, really! Look it up). Whether this is a one-time gig or the beginning of something bigger, one thing's clear: Xavier Legette isn't afraid to color outside the lines. Carolina, meet your new WR1 of personality. This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jun 7, 2025, where it first appeared.

GloRilla Recruits NFL Star Xaiver Legette — and Keyshia Cole! — for Sexy New 'Typa' Music Video
GloRilla's new "Typa" music video stars Xavier Legette and Keyshia Cole "Typa" samples Cole's 2005 song "Love" She'll host her first annual Glo Bash in Memphis in JulyGloRilla 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.' Read the original article on People
