GloRilla called Duke Dennis “pretty boy” during Kai Cenat’s stream

In the music video, the two artists wore workout outfits. Both Jorjiana and GloRilla appeared leading a fitness video, joined by backup dancers. According to Complex, ILBB2 played a significant role in launching Jorjiana’s career when she performed it on On The Radar Radio in late 2024.

GloRilla was also a guest on Kai Cenat’s Mafiathon 2 in 2024. As the two streamed together, Cenat played an album AMP Cypher 2024 by Hunnid Beats. He introduced Dennis as “my boy Duke” as he appears in the video. Glo’s immediate reaction was:

“Duke, the pretty boy.”

Kai Cenat paused the music to confirm what she said and after a moment of silence, he asked how she said that. Glo replied that he was just a pretty boy. Kai Cenat said:

“I don’t know, he just, you know, so ladies do love him.”

GloRilla responded that this was the reason she called him a pretty boy. She graded Denis seven out of ten as she felt his energy was missing.
