The American rapper GloRilla was arrested on felony drug charges the night before her performance at the WNBA all-star game, after police responded to a report of a burglary at her home in Atlanta on Saturday.

The Forsyth county sheriff’s office confirmed to Atlanta’s WSB-TV that authorities responded to a call about a burglary at a home owned by the rapper, legal name Gloria Hallelujah Woods, around 1.30am on Saturday. Woods was in Indianapolis at the time to perform at the WNBA all-star game that evening.

According to the sheriff’s office, three suspects entered the home when Woods was not present to rob the residence, and were deterred when an unidentified individual fired at them. The burglars reportedly escaped unharmed. During their investigation, deputies smelled marijuana and called a drug taskforce, who found a “significant amount of marijuana” in a bedroom closet.

Woods was charged with possession of marijuana and possession of a controlled substance, and voluntarily surrendered to Forsyth county authorities on Tuesday. She was subsequently released on $22,260 bond.

“The homeowner is a victim of a serious crime, and we are committed to bringing the suspects to justice,” Sheriff Ron Freeman told WSB-TV. “At the same time, we must continue to uphold and enforce the law in all aspects of this case.” Police have yet to find any of the three intruders.

Born and raised in Memphis, Tennessee, GloRilla first broke on to the rap scene in 2022 with her Grammy-nominated single FNF (Let’s Go), quickly establishing herself as one of the fastest-rising female rappers in the US. Her debut album Glorious was released in 2024, securing another two Grammy nominations for its lead single Yeah Glo!

The Guardian has contacted GloRilla’s representatives for comment.
