Memphis rap star GloRilla (Gloria Woods) is speaking out after a July night home invasion in Forsyth County, Georgia, in which her team says more than $700,000 worth of items were stolen. What followed, she and her attorneys claim, was a law enforcement response that prioritized drug charges over catching the intruders.
What Happened
- On July 20, 2025, while GloRilla was out of town for a performance in Indianapolis during WNBA All-Star Weekend, three armed intruders broke into her Georgia residence. Her family was inside and reportedly fired shots to scare off the burglars before police arrived.
- GloRilla’s legal team says the stolen items include “high value jewelry” and other assets, amounting to over $700,000.
- Following the break-in, authorities obtained a search warrant after detecting a strong odor of marijuana at the premises. During the search, law enforcement found a “significant amount” of cannabis in the master bedroom closet. That led to felony drug charges (possession of marijuana and a controlled substance) against GloRilla, even though she was not at home during the burglary.
- GloRilla voluntarily surrendered and was released on $22,260 bond the same day.
Her Response & Criticism of Law Enforcement
- In a TV interview and public statements, GloRilla expressed frustration that her family—victims of a violent crime—were instead treated as suspects.
- Her attorney Drew Findling criticized the “lack of movement” in the burglary investigation. He called it “unconscionable” that arrest warrants for the intruders have not been issued, while her family was quickly charged for marijuana possession.
- GloRilla also slammed the use of her arrest image for merchandise—she acknowledged that her mug shot was turned into T‑shirts she sold online and at a concert.
What’s Next
- The burglary investigation is still open, and authorities have yet to identify or arrest the home invaders.
- GloRilla’s legal team is considering launching their own independent investigation to recover the stolen assets and hold the intruders accountable.
- The drug charges stemming from the search warrant could become a central battleground in the legal proceedings—her supporters argue they are a distraction from the more serious crime of the home invasion.
- Reputation and career impact: the public narrative may play out in her favor if she is cleared or vindicated, or she may suffer damage if the charges stick.
