FORSYTH COUNTY, GA — "F.N.F" rapper GloRilla was arrested a second time this week after suspected burglars broke into her Forsyth County home and marijuana was discovered in her closet, authorities said Thursday.

Deputies responded around 1:30 a.m. to a burglary in progress at Gloria "GloRilla" Woods' home in the St. Marlo subdivision, the Forsyth County Sheriff's Office said.

The 25-year-old Memphis rapper, of "Yeah Glo!" and "Wanna Be" fame, was not home at the time, authorities said.

Three unnamed suspects were accused of entering the home and stealing items when a person armed inside the home fired a gun at them, authorities said. The suspects then fled the scene and were not located, authorities said.

It did not appear that anyone was shot, and no injuries were reported, authorities said.

However, due to shots being fired during a burglary, authorities said they investigated the home and found a "significant amount of marijuana" sitting "in plain view inside the master bedroom closet."

They were led to the closet after deputies smelled a strong odor authorities said were consistent with illegal drugs.

Woods was charged with possession of marijuana and possession of a schedule I controlled substance, authorities said. She voluntarily surrendered Tuesday at the Forsyth County Jail and was released the same day on a $22,260 bond, authorities said.

After news broke of her arrest, Woods took to X to comment on her arrest: "Long story short my house gets home invaded and Im the only one that gets arrested. So that’s tea."

Detectives uncovered physical and trace forensic evidence in connection with the burglary and are continuing to investigate the case, authorities said.

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

This week's incident was the second time Woods has been arrested in Georgia.

Woods was arrested on charges of driving under the influence, open container and failure to obey a traffic control device during a Gwinnett County traffic stop in April 2024. She was released from jail on a $1,956 bond.

Woods has two top 10 hits, "Tomorrow 2" and "Sticky," on the Billboard Hot 100 and has had 15 songs to make the notable list. In July 2022, she signed to fellow rapper and label executive Yo Gotti's CMG record label.
