GloRilla is finally opening up about the frightening series of events that turned her from a victim into a defendant. In her first in-depth interview since the incident, the Memphis rapper described how a late-night break-in at her home spiraled into criminal charges against her.
The situation unfolded two months ago when she was out of town, performing in Indianapolis for the WNBA All-Star Weekend. Back in Forsyth County, three armed men forced their way into her home and stole hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of valuables. A family member inside fired shots, which sent the intruders running before authorities arrived. What happened next was just as shocking. During their search of the property, investigators uncovered a large amount of marijuana and placed the blame on GloRilla.
Despite being the victim of a crime, she was charged with felony possession and briefly taken into custody after voluntarily surrendering. She bonded out that same day, but the arrest drew national attention and left her frustrated with how the case has been handled. “I feel like me, and my brother and sister, we were victims in this situation,” she said during her sit-down with Channel 2’s Michael Seiden. “But somehow, they’re trying to paint us out to be suspects, and I just feel like it’s all the way wrong.”
Her attorney, Drew Findling, emphasized the imbalance. He explained that more than $700,000 worth of property was stolen, yet investigators focused their energy on marijuana charges rather than tracking down the robbers. “The most egregious part is that there seems to be no movement whatsoever in this home invasion, but rather, within 24 hours, there were warrants for her arrest for a marijuana possession case. That’s unconscionable.”
Now, GloRilla’s team is considering launching their own investigation. For her, the central issue is not only recovering what was stolen but also reclaiming her reputation after a case she believes was mishandled from the start.
