Cha-ching! That is the sound of GloRilla's machine counting her inflow!
The rapper is turning her controversial situation around to increase the zeros at the back of her net worth after she was slapped with a $22,000 bond.
GloRilla reported to the station in Georgia on Tuesday when local authorities responded to a burglary call at her home and discovered a significant amount of marijuana during the investigation.
Fans Are Divided On GloRilla's Latest Business Decision
The performer recycled her mugshot into a money-making venture by printing it on T-shirts, which are currently selling for $40 on her official store. TMZ confirmed that GloRilla also gave out merchandise at her "GloRilla's Glo Bash" concert on Friday, alongside other items featuring her face.
On social media, the reaction to her move is marked by a range of perspectives. While some see GloRilla turning her mug shot into "merch marketing genius" like this X user, another commenter described it as "Gross."
"Glo actually thinks her getting a mug shot makes her Donald Trump league when, inactualfact, she is there because of drugs is shameful," a third X subscriber declared.
One X user tagged anyone who buys the shirt a "moron," stressing that she was not falsely accused of drug possession, making her attempt to "monetize" her arrest "pathetic."
"Gotta pay that lawyer," another commenter stated, as this X subscriber applauded her for capitalizing her situation before others do.
Inside The 'TGIF' Rapper's Drug Possession Charge
GloRilla did not see herself paying a five-figure hefty bond on Tuesday after people at her home made a call to the police following an attempted burglary on her property on July 19.
As reported by The Blast, three suspects reportedly tried to intrude on the home and move valuable items, but a shot from someone inside intercepted them.
Upon their arrival, the law enforcement agents began a search, but they were immediately distracted by the strong odor of marijuana emanating from the area.
They then acquired a search warrant and brought in the Lanier Regional Drug Task Force, who discovered a significant amount of Marijuana in her bedroom closet.
While the county sheriff acknowledged that the rapper was a victim of burglary, they insisted that she still broke an important law.
The 25-Year-Old Was Performing At The WNBA All-Star Game On July 19
The rapper was utterly oblivious to what was going on in her Georgia home on July 19 as she belted out tunes in Indianapolis at the WNBA All-Star Game. GloRilla reportedly brought the roof down for the halftime performances, where she sang hits like "TGIF" and "Typa."
She opened her electrifying set with "Let Her Cook" and wrapped it up nicely with her smash hit "WHATCHU KNO ABOUT ME." GloRilla gave the sold-out audience a view as she took to the center of the court, to the pleasure of the female basketballers who cheered on the sidelines.
The rapper kept it stylish with a middle part, a "buss down" blonde wig paired with a black cropped top and a custom Gatorade letterman jacket. Other celebrities who relished her performance include rapper Common, musician Jennifer Hudson, WNBA legends Lisa Leslie and Tamika Catchings.
Inside The Rapper's Homecoming Concert
The rapper put the drug possession drama behind her as she headlined Downtown Memphis' FedExForum on July 25. The show was the first of her homecoming event concerts as the rapper prepares to step into a new age.
GloRilla's entrance into the venue was marked by a short documentary that captured her artistic journey over the years. As the night progressed, the rapper showcased her dexterity with several wardrobe changes and non-stop music, including a rendition of her monster hit, "F.N.F. (Let's Go)."
She also teamed up with Sexxy Red to perform a version of "Whatchu Kno About Me." Other performers who joined the 25-year-old on set included Moneybagg Yo, Yo Gotti, Muni Long, Big Boogie, and a host of others.
GloRilla Placed Her Bet On The Wrong Team At The 2025 Super Bowl
The rapper did not win big at the Super Bowl in February, as she placed a $128,000 bet on the Kansas City Chiefs to bring home the Vince Lombardi Trophy, but it did not happen.
The Blast reported that she revealed on TikTok that she doled out six figures only for the Philadelphia Eagles to clinch the title in a 40-22 win.
Her loss came nearly a year after she was arrested in Atlanta after suspicions of driving under the influence, as cops revealed that her vehicle reeked of alcohol and marijuana.
Officers also described her decision to make an illegal U-turn at a traffic light as a possible effect of alcohol consumption.
The rapper eventually admitted to consuming alcohol and subsequently failed to complete various sobriety tests on the spot. She was then taken into custody after this and later released on bail.
