Sexyy Red and Tyler, the Creator connected in October for their first collaboration, when Tyler recruited Big Sexyy, Lil Wayne and GloRilla for the Chromakopia standout “Sticky.”
XXL enlisted GloRilla and Sexyy for their latest cover story, which arrived on Tuesday (Dec. 17) and found the pair of female rap stars in conversation about an array of topics.
“Everybody love it. They love it,” Sexyy said of the public’s approval of the collaboration. “We on another song together, and I don’t know, I think they f— with that. We all on that song.”
Glo brought up how they were twerking onstage together, and Sexyy revealed that they’re actually twerking together any time they link up. “We always twerk together,” she added. “Every time we see him, we always twerk. He funny.”
Sexyy Red and Tyler originally linked up in August 2023 backstage at Drake’s It’s All a Blur Tour in Los Angeles. The St. Louis rapper posted a photo alongside Tyler hitting her signature pose. “My dreams came true,” he said. “My dreams came tru Mood to da haters.”
“Sticky” found Tyler blending the worlds of Lil Wayne, GloRilla and Sexyy Red on his Chromakopia album. The rambunctious tune reached No. 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 — the first top 10 hit of Tyler’s career — and came in at No. 12 on our 100 Best Songs of 2024 list.
“I wanted something for the drill team at the f—ing pep rallies,” Tyler told Billboard about his vision for the track. “Something for the band to play at halftime.”
Sexyy Red delivered a solid sophomore campaign in 2024 as she notched hits like “Get It Sexyy” and the Drake-assisted “U My Everything” from her In Sexyy We Trust project, which was released in May.
