Why did Glorilla get arrested? Rapper responds
The rapper, whose real name is Gloria Woods, stated she was performing at the WNBA All-Star game in Indianapolis when the incident happened.
FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Rapper GloRilla has responded after she was arrested on drug charges following a burglary call at her home.
The rapper, whose real name is Gloria Woods, stated she was performing at the WNBA All-Star game in Indianapolis when the incident happened.
A few days before her arrest, deputies responded to a burglary at Woods’ Forsyth County home, about 40 miles north of Atlanta, around 1:30 a.m. Saturday. According to the sheriff’s office, three suspects were stealing items when someone opened fire, causing them to flee. No injuries were reported, and despite a search using K-9 and drone teams, the suspects were not found. While investigating the break-in, deputies said they discovered marijuana in the master bedroom closet.
She responded about the incident in an X post on Thursday, where she stated that deputies were focused on marijuana when they should have been focused on finding the suspects who invaded her home.
“Long story short, my house gets home invaded, and I’m the only one that gets arrested. So that’s tea,” she said.

Woods turned herself into the Forsyth County Jail on Tuesday and was later released on the same day on a $22,260 bond, the sheriff’s office said.
She was charged with felony possession of marijuana and possession of a Schedule 1 controlled substance.
“The homeowner is a victim of a serious crime, and we are committed to bringing the suspects to justice,” Sheriff Ron Freeman said in a statement. “At the same time, we must continue to uphold and enforce the law in all aspects of this case.”
According to a statement from the rapper’s attorney, Drew Findling, Woods was out of town at the time of the burglary. She had family members staying at the home who were “traumatized” by the group who took jewelry — before they realized the home wasn’t empty.
