GloRilla is speaking out after being arrested on felony drug charges following a burglary attempt in her Georgia home.
The 25-year-old rapper, whose real name is Gloria Hallelujah Woods, voluntarily turned herself in to the Forsyth County Jail on Tuesday, July 22, after police allegedly discovered marijuana and a controlled substance while responding to a July 20 burglary attempt that she was not present for, according to a statement provided to PEOPLE by the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office.
“CRAZY [!!] My House got Home Invaded Saturday While I was in Indianapolis performing for the WNBA all star game & instead of Focusing on finding the Suspects , they focus on some cannabis,” the “Wanna Be” artist tweeted on Thursday, July 24.
Next, she listed a three-point breakdown of the events from her perspective.
“1. So no I wasn’t busted 2. My house got robbed 3. I wasn’t home,” GloRilla wrote.
She continued, “Long story short my house gets home invaded and Im the only one that gets arrested.”
The “All Dere” rapper concluded, “So that’s tea,” adding a shrugging emoji.
A rep for GloRilla did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.
A call for “a burglary in progress” came in at 1:30 a.m. local time, per the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office statement.

“It was reported that three suspects had entered the home and were in the process of stealing items when an armed occupant fired at the intruders,” the police statement read. “The suspects fled the scene, and it does not appear that any of them were struck. No injuries were reported among the home’s occupants.”
No suspects were found following “a thorough investigation,” however, police said, “While on scene, deputies detected a strong odor consistent with illegal narcotics. As a result, the Lanier Regional Drug Task Force was contacted and responded to the residence.”
Police obtained a search warrant and reported finding “a significant amount of marijuana” in GloRilla’s master bedroom closet.

As a result, the Memphis native was charged with Felony Possession of Marijuana and Possession of schedule one controlled substance. After voluntarily turning herself into custody, GloRilla was released on a $22,260 bond.
Following her tweet addressing the arrest, the “TGIF” rapper returned to social media with a seemingly subtle message.
“Anyways, Dey done let da LEOS ina door 😌🦁♌️,” GloRilla captioned a two-photo Instagram carousel mentioning her zodiac sign ahead of her July 28 birthday.
