Rapper GloRilla was hit with drug charges after cops found a large stash of marijuana in her Georgia home while investigating a break-in – and the Grammy-nominated artist is now slamming police for arresting her instead of the burglars.
The “Yeah Glo” hitmaker, whose real name is Gloria Hallelujah Woods, was slapped with possession of marijuana and a controlled substance after voluntarily turning herself into police on Tuesday, according to the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office.
GloRilla’s arrest came after deputies responded to reports of a break-in at her Atlanta home around 1:30 a.m. Sunday – just hours after she performed at halftime during the WNBA All-Star Game in Indianapolis.

Police said three bandits – who still remain at large – broke into the 25-year-old’s home and were in the middle of stealing items when someone inside opened fire, prompting the uninjured thieves to flee
While investigating the brazen intrusion, deputies smelled “a strong odor” and discovered “a significant amount of marijuana” in plain view inside the “F.N.F. (Let’s Go)” artist’s master bedroom closet.
GloRilla, who was previously busted for a DUI last April, was released Tuesday on a $22,260 bond.

“My House got Home Invaded Saturday while I was in Indianapolis performing for the WNBA all star game & instead of focusing on finding the Suspects, they focus on some cannabis,” the Tennessee native said in a fiery X post Thursday afternoon.
“Long story short my house gets home invaded and Im the only one that gets arrested. So that’s tea.”
The rapper’s “traumatized” family was inside the home when the intruders struck — allegedly making off with “high value jewelry,” her lawyers said in a statement, blasting their client’s arrest as a “disturbing window into how warped law enforcement priorities have become.”

“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,” her attorneys said.
“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.”
Police, who have yet to find the three bandits following “an extensive search,” agreed that the “Blessed” star is a victim, but said they still have a duty to uphold the law.

“The homeowner is a victim of a serious crime, and we are committed to bringing the suspects to justice,” Sheriff Ron Freeman said.
“At the same time, we must continue to uphold and enforce the law in all aspects of this case.
The investigation is ongoing.
