After reports surfaced about her arrest in connection with a drug-related investigation at her home, GloRilla took to X to shut down rumors. 

She explained that her house had been broken into while she was performing at the WNBA All-Star Game in Indianapolis and that the cannabis police found became their main focus instead of the actual suspects.

"I wasn't  busted.... Long story short, my house gets home invaded, and I'm the only one that gets arrested. So that's tea," she posted. The reaction from fans came fast, and it was not just sympathy. It was several warnings.

"Get outta Forsyth County, u need to be in Sandy Springs or sum," one user wrote, while another echoed the sentiment bluntly, "Girl sell that house asap and get the f-ck outta Georgia."

Some called out the area directly, noting how unsafe they felt it was for a Black public figure. "You live in the most racist part in GA," someone added. "They want to make an example out of you."

"Girl u need to move out of there cuz now they're gonna target you," another fan warned. "Please leave Forsyth County. Get your family and leave, they don't care if you're affluent," one netizen pleaded.

And it was not just Georgia on fans' minds. One person pointed to the entire South, writing, "Exactly why I don't trust southern states!!! That's whack af.. crooked [world emoji] we live in."

The star turned herself in to Forsyth County Jail on July 22 following a burglary at her Georgia home. But instead of focusing on the break-in, investigators ended up charging her with felony drug possession.

The Blast shared that cops were called to her home after three suspects reportedly tried to steal from the property and were fired at by someone inside. Though no one was injured, police said they noticed the strong smell of weed while on the scene.

That led them to bring in the Lanier Regional Drug Task Force, secure a search warrant, and find what they called a "significant amount" of marijuana in the artist's bedroom closet.

Forsyth County Sheriff Ron Freeman confirmed the 25-year-old was the "victim of a serious crime," but made it clear that enforcing "the law in all aspects" was still a priority. GloRilla was reportedly later released on a $22,260 bond.

Before her recent drug charge, GloRilla already had a run-in with the law. She landed behind bars last April after police stopped her in Gwinnett County, Georgia, for making a U-turn at a red light around 4 a.m. What started as a traffic violation quickly turned into a DUI arrest.

The Blast noted she was booked on three charges: DUI, having an open alcohol container, and another traffic offense. Officers say they noticed the smell of alcohol and weed when they approached her vehicle.

From there, things only got messier. GloRilla was reportedly asked to perform a full series of field sobriety tests: eye tracking, walk-and-turn, one-leg balance, and more. Officers claimed she stumbled and failed each one. She also refused to take a breathalyzer test.

GloRilla's traffic stop came with more than just charges. While police pulled her over for making an illegal U-turn and suspected her of driving under the influence, things quickly took a left turn.

After reportedly refusing a breathalyzer and struggling through multiple sobriety tests, she experienced a wardrobe malfunction mid-stop. According to the police report, her breasts slipped out from under her outfit without her noticing. The officer eventually pointed it out.

She was booked into jail and released later that same morning after posting bail. One of her crew members picked up her car. GloRilla never publicly acknowledged the incident and kept things moving.

GloRilla turned the WNBA All-Star Game into her personal concert stage and the crowd at Gainbridge Fieldhouse could not get enough.

Billboard shared highlights from the entertainer's set, which started with "Let Her Cook" and rolled straight into bangers like "Typa" and "TGIF." She wrapped the halftime set with her platinum-certified track "WHATCHU KNO ABOUT ME."

With energy pouring off the stage, GloRilla and her dancers moved the party to center court while WNBA stars watched and hyped her up from the sidelines.

The moment was not just about the music; GloRilla came dressed for it. She rocked a custom Gatorade letterman jacket with a tribute to her "Let Her Cook" hit on the back. 

The message from GloRilla's supporters is loud and clear: there is a serious need for a change in scenery.
