After GloRilla's arrest on drug charges, is Glo Bash concert event in Memphis still on?
Memphis rapper GloRilla was arrested on felony drug charges in Georgia this week, after police responding to a burglary at her home near Atlanta discovered what officers described as "a significant amount of marijuana." The incident will not affect GloRilla's July 25 homecoming "Glo Bash" concert at FedExForum, which remains on schedule, according to an arena spokesperson. As initially reported by WSB-TV in Atlanta and by TMZ, the latest legal difficulty for the Memphis-born rapper — whose birth name, Gloria Hallelujah Woods, is as captivating as her stage moniker — began about 1:30 a.m. July 19 when officers responded to a call at GloRilla's home. According to the Forsyth County Sheriff's Office, three suspects were burglarizing the house when the 25-year-old rapper was not present. An as yet unidentified individual inside the residence fired upon the burglers, who fled the scene. When deputies arrived at the scene, they smelled marijuana, according to the sheriff's office, and discovered quantities of the drug in a search of the residence. Later on July 19, GloRilla performed at the WNBA All-Star game in Indianapolis. She turned herself over to authorities on July 22 and was charged with possession of marijuana and possession of a "schedule one" controlled substance — both felonies in Georgia. She was released on a $22,260 bond shortly afterward. '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 in Atlanta. 'At the same time, we must continue to uphold and enforce the law in all aspects of this case.' But GloRilla's attorneys objected to the arrest calling GloRilla "a victim, not a suspect," in a statement issued July 24. "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," wrote the performer's attorneys, Marissa Goldberg and Drew Findling. "What they didn't know was that she had family staying with her that were traumatized by the violent entrance of this group. "This is our tax dollars at work, absolutely unbelievable,' they said. The incident occurred about 15 months after GloRilla's previous arrest. In April 2024, she was arrested on DUI and other traffic and alcohol charges in Suwanee, Georgia, a suburb of Atlanta, after an officer witnessed her make an illegal U-turn. Also in this case, the smell of marijuana led to further investigation and further charges, according to officers on the scene.
