GloRilla turned herself in to Forsyth County Jail on Tuesday (July 22), where she was booked on a charge of felony possession of marijuana and a separate charge of possession of a Schedule I controlled substance.
The CMG artist says she doesn't understand how her home being burglarized could lead to her arrest while she's not even present. 'CRAZY My House got Home Invaded Saturday While I was in Indianapolis performing for the WNBA all star game,' she wrote to X on Thursday (July 24). 'Instead of Focusing on finding the Suspects , they focus on some cannabis.'
Glo continued to clear the air: '1. So no I wasn't busted 2. My house got robbed 3. I wasn't home Long story short my house gets home invaded and Im the only one that gets arrested. So that's tea.'
The suspects fled the scene after being met with gunfire by occupants at Glo's home, but no arrest warrants have been issued by police.
GloRilla posted a $22,260 bond to secure her release just hours after turning herself in. Glo's attorney, Drew Findling, slammed law enforcement in a statement to Billboard, calling the arrest 'a disturbing window into how warped law enforcement priorities have become.'
Findling concluded with another jab: 'This is our tax dollars at work, absolutely unbelievable.'
GloRilla will host her first-ever Glo Bash on Friday (July 25) in her hometown of Memphis at FedEx Forum with performances from Sexyy Red, Rob 49 and Muni Long.Best of Billboard

MGK Can't Wait For His Daughter to Tear Up the Playroom with Pete Davidson's Baby: ‘These Playdates Bout to Hitttt'
Machine Gun Kelly's daughter Saga Blade is only three months old, but the 'Cliché' singer doesn't think it's ever too early to line up A-list playdates for the newborn. On Wednesday (July 16), just hours after it was revealed that his pal and former Saturday Night Live cast member and budding movie star Pete Davidson and girlfriend Elsie Hewitt are expecting a child together, MGK said he's super-psyched about the news. 'These playdates bout to hittttt,' MGK commented on Hewitt's Instagram pic post of the couple looking super cute and snuggly, getting their a sonogram and wearing matching collagen masks. The 35-year-old rapper-turned-pop-singer born Colson Baker recently welcomed his first child with former fiancée Megan Fox, while Davidson, 31, and Hewitt, 29, just confirmed the big news about their first child.

Hewitt's post also garnered well-wishes from a number of her bold name friends, including Finneas ('Congratulations!!!!'), model Meredith Michelson ('HEHEHEHEHEHE IM SO HAPPY BEST MOMMY EVERRRRR 😭😭😭😭'), model/actress Kyra Santoro ('OMG CONGRATS HONEYYYYYYY') and singer/model Siiickbrain ('OMG CONGRATULATIONS ANGEL'). MGK and Davidson have appeared in a number of films together, including the 2019 Mötley Crüe biopic The Dirt, 2019's Big Time Adolescence, 2020's The King of Staten Island, 2022's Good Mourning and, according to IMDB, an upcoming as-yet-untitled TV pilot currently in post-production also slated to feature Tracey Birdsall, Theo Von, Jordan Rock and Gianni Paolo.

MGK Busts Out Killer Jim Carrey Impression, Confirms Bob Dylan Narrated Album Trailer: ‘No Idea How He Even Knows Who I Am'
Nothing beats being a proud papa, and for MGK the thrill is extra special the second time around with his newborn daughter with ex Megan Fox, Saga Blade Fox-Baker, since he gets to share those precious years with one of his best pals. On The Tonight Show on Monday night (Aug. 4) the rapper/rocker told host Jimmy Fallon that he's extra psyched that his good friend Pete Davidson is expecting his first child. 'Have you guys discussed?,' Fallon asked about whether the two have been talking about fatherhood. 'All the time, yeah,' MGK said. 'He has this vision with my newborn — her name's Saga — that he wants… he hopes that she plays sports so he can come to the game. And if she wins, he looks at the opposite team and goes, 'The Saga continues.''

'I think that they would be in their heads thinking that we would be looking at the baby and go, 'Okay, what do we do? We're not ready for this,' said the rapper-turned-rocker who has a 15-year-old daughter from a previous relationship. 'The diapers end up on our heads or something.' The 'Cliché' star also confirmed that Bob Dylan provided the voice-over narration for the Lost Americana album trailer. 'Are you friends with Bob Dylan' Fallon asked. 'Well, to be honest, I don't want to mess my friendship up,' MGK responded in his best nasally Dylan impression as he and Fallon traded off aping the rock bard's signature pinched delivery. 'To be honest, I have no idea how he even knows who I am to this day,' MGK admitted. 'And I'm pretty sure that if I say the wrong thing I'll mess it all up, so I'll just shut up and accept whatever Bob Dylan throws my way.' To be fair, even Kelly doesn't seem to know how the totally unexpected collab came about. 'Something's going on in the stars where, like, good things keep happening… I don't know how it keeps happening,' he said. He added that the Dylan team-up came at a time when he was really questioning whether the music he was making was the right thing for him. 'Then Bob Dylan, who's the king of just getting all the outside noise out and trusting what's within stamps… I don't know, I feel like he's just in on some giant cosmic joke,' MGK said. After running through some of MGK's recent oddball tweets, including one in which he stated, 'growing up, Jim Carrey was dad. there's no other explanation for my rubbery face,' the singer showed off his spot-on Carrey impression. Twisting his mouth into a tortured rictus, he pulled off a super credible How the Grinch Stole Christmas look before asking Fallon for an assist with an Ace Ventura bit. Shaking his head and doing the signature 'all rightyyyyy then' and Carrey cackle, MGK expertly rattled off the actor's insane rant from the film to the host's delight. He also later fitted Fallon with a pair of his signature vampire fangs. 'I kinda like 'em,' Fallon said. MGK was back later in the episode to perform a medley of songs from his upcoming Lost Americana album, which is due out on Friday (Aug. 8). The set opened with Kelly standing behind a blue picket fence rocking the same red and white leather jacket he sports on the album cover as a Who-like keyboard fanfare and big rock guitars led him into the power chord-drenched 'Outlaw Overture.' 'I miss my drugs/ They've been my friend since 21,' he sang urgently as he tossed the jacket aside and strapped on an electric guitar to furiously strum it out before taking a seat to croon the intro to one of the album's lead singles, 'Vampire Diaries.' Hopping back up with his guitar, Kelly tore into the energetic pop rocker's chorus, 'Take, take, take me out/ I know how it's gonna end/ But it's too late to turn around.'

The Jesus Lizard Cancel 2025 Tour Dates Citing ‘Serious Health Incident'
Revered Austin noise-rock band The Jesus Lizard have announced the cancellation of their 2025 tour plans, with the group citing a 'serious health incident' affecting an unspecified bandmember as the cause. News of the band's axed tour was announced on social media on Monday (Aug. 4), with The Jesus Lizard revealing their scheduled October performances in New Zealand, Australia and Japan have been affected, in addition to their November dates in the U.S.. More from Billboard Australian Rockers The Angels Honored With Laneway & Mural in Hometown Lady Gaga's 'Wednesday' Role Will Also Include a Spooky New Song for Season 2 Metro Boomin Blames Social Media for Music Not Being Regional Anymore: 'Let's Get Back to Actual Culture' 'Upon the advice of medical professionals following a serious health incident affecting one of the band members, it is considered necessary as a precautionary measure,' the group wrote in a statement. 'The band would like to convey their apologies to disappointed fans and emphasize that the affected member's prognosis is excellent. Your understanding and support are very much appreciated as always.' The statement closed by noting that all ticketholders will be provided refunds for their purchases due to an inability to 'currently project replacement dates.' The band currently have no other planned shows apart from the affected dates. The forthcoming tour of Australia and New Zealand was to be the band's first appearances in these countries since 1998, while the Japan tour would have been their first since 1996. The Jesus Lizard first formed in 1987, issuing a handful of singles and EPs on Chicago indie Touch and Go ahead of four studio records for the label, including 1991's Goat and 1992's Liar. Signing to Capitol in 1995, a further two albums followed before the band's split in 1999. Following a two-year reunion in 2008, the band have again been active since 2017, issuing their first new album in 26 years – Rack – in 2024. Though largely avoiding any chart success (save for 1996's Shot peaking at No. 28 on the Heatseekers Albums chart), the group's legacy as one of the most prominent and revered bands in the U.S. underground music scene is well-documented, with acts such as Nirvana labeling them a noted influence. Following sporadic touring upon their most recent reformation, The Jesus Lizard increased their live appearances last year, with the group having already completed tours of the U.S., U.K. and Europe in 2025.
