On Tuesday morning (April 16), GloRilla was arrested on suspicion of DUI in Georgia.

The rapper (real name Gloria Hallelujah Woods) was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence, consuming/possessing an open alcoholic beverage container and a separate traffic charge in Suwanee, Ga., a suburb about a half-hour outside Atlanta. TMZ was first to report the arrest.

In the police report obtained by Billboard, the officer says he smelled marijuana and alcohol from the car during a traffic stop just after 4 a.m. ET Tuesday and that GloRilla admitted to drinking that evening, though she said she was good to drive. During a search of the vehicle, officers “located marijuana within the vehicle, along with an open alcoholic beverage bottle.” The report also detailed that at one point during a field sobriety test, GloRilla’s breast was exposed, and officers had to inform the rapper.

The Memphis rapper was taken into jail just after 6 a.m. ET on Tuesday and released on bond hours later, TMZ reports.

Billboard has reached out to GloRilla for comment.

Though GloRilla was very active on her socials Wednesday (April 17) — mostly promoting her new song “Wanna Be,” featuring Megan Thee Stallion, from Glo’s new Ehhthang Ehhthang mixtape — she has yet to address the arrest news. Glo will join Meg on the Hot Girl Summer Tour, which kicks off next month in Minneapolis.

Glo has also been in the headlines for her heated back-and-forth with City Girls rapper JT after name-dropping her in the lyrics of the Ehhthang Ehhthang track “Aite.” In an interview with Billboard News on the 2024 CMT Music Awards red carpet last week, GloRilla brushed off the drama. “Everything just always everything,” she said when asked about JT. “At the end of the day, that day gon’ motherf—in’ end. Everything is everything. That day gotta end.”
