MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC) – Memphis’ own GloRilla is coming home to headline her “GloBash” performance at the FedExForum Friday night, despite her recent arrest in Georgia.
Forum officials tell Action News 5 the show will still go on.
“I was hoping the show would still go on, because they up for it, they ready to come,” Memphian Al said.
He made his way downtown on Thursday, hoping for the best ahead of the hip-hop star’s inaugural “GloBash.”
“It’s for my kids, I mean, not me,” Al said. “I like her music though..”
He had concerns the show would be canceled after the Grammy-nominated artist was arrested in Forsyth County, Georgia, on Tuesday.
Deputies were responding to her home for a burglary.
According to investigators, three people stealing from her home were shot at by an unidentified person inside before law enforcement arrived.
The suspects ran away, but it’s what happened after that has the rapper’s attorneys fighting the charges.
While responding to the incident, deputies reported smelling marijuana and then came back with a search warrant.
Investigators claim they found a “significant amount” of the drug inside the rapper’s home.
GloRilla was not home at the time of the burglary and turned herself in on Tuesday.

“Ohh… that’s awful,” Al said. “But the show’s still going on, though, right?”
GloRilla’s attorneys called her arrest a “disturbing window into how warped law enforcement priorities have become.”
Her attorneys also said, “Ms. Woods is a victim, not a suspect.”
Fans back at home say they’re just ready for the show.
“She done brightened the whole city up,” Al said.
Legal representatives for GloRilla provided the following statement:
The arrest of Gloria Woods is a disturbing window into how warped law enforcement priorities have become. Ms. Woods was out of town when her residence became a target for a group of home invaders who most likely knew she wasn’t there. What they didn’t know was that she had family staying with her that were traumatized by the violent entrance of this group who grabbed high value jewelry before taking off once they realized the home wasn’t vacant. When her family members did the right thing and called law enforcement, instead of investigating the violent home invasion and theft at Ms. Woods’ home, they instead sought a search warrant when they spotted what they believed was a small amount of marijuana. Law enforcement then sought arrest warrants for her even though she hadn’t been at her home for some time. No arrest warrants have been issued for the violent home invaders. Ms. Woods is a victim, not a suspect. This is our tax dollars at work, absolutely unbelievable.
