Rapper GloRilla, known for her viral hit “F.N.F. (Let’s Go)” and collaborations with artists like Megan Thee Stallion, made headlines recently after being arrested in Atlanta.
The 24-year-old rapper was charged with a DUI, consuming alcoholic beverage or possessing an open alcoholic container while in a passenger area, and failure to obey a traffic laws.
The incident took place during a routine traffic stop, and the Suwanee Police Department confirmed the details in their records.
According to the incident report, GloRilla, whose real name is Woods, was pulled over by an officer after making a U-turn at a red light at Peachtree Industrial Boulevard and Suwanee Walk Avenue intersection. The arresting officer noticed her “watery and bloodshot eyes” and claimed to smell the odor of marijuana within the vehicle, as well as the scent of an alcoholic beverage on her breath.
During the traffic stop, GloRilla allegedly admitted to consuming alcohol but refused to indicate how much. She confidently told the officer that she was “good to drive.” However, when asked to perform a field sobriety evaluation, she struggled. Despite her difficulties, she denied taking a breathalyzer test, as stated in the police report.
Following the incident, GloRilla was taken into custody by the Gwinnett County Jail. However, she was released shortly after posting bond. The Gwinnett County Sheriff’s Office confirmed her release to WSB-TV 2 and Action News 5. The arrest occurred around 6:12 AM ET, and she bonded out a few hours later.
Despite the legal trouble, GloRilla has maintained an active social media presence. Her Instagram account is filled with videos of fans dancing to her music, including the recent collaboration with Megan Thee Stallion, “Wanna Be.” Her posts suggest that it’s business as usual for the rapper.
GloRilla was scheduled to perform in Georgia on Saturday night and is set to join Megan Thee Stallion on tour next month. The duo recently released the single “Wanna Be,” which features on GloRilla’s album, “Ehhthang Ehhthang.” The rapper’s rise to fame has been swift, with her song “F.N.F. (Let’s Go)” going viral on TikTok in 2022. This success earned her a BET Awards nomination for Best Collaboration and a Grammy nomination for Best New Artist.
Rapper GloRilla’s recent arrest in Georgia for an alleged DUI and refusal to take a breathalyzer test has brought her into the spotlight for reasons unrelated to her music. While she has continued to engage with her fans on social media, it remains to be seen how these legal troubles will impact her upcoming performances and career.
