GloRilla has reportedly been arrested in Georgia for driving under the influence.
According to a police report obtained by TMZ, the Memphis rapper was handcuffed on Tuesday morning (April 16) and booked on suspicion of driving under the influence and consuming/possessing an open alcoholic beverage container.

She was also booked on a separate traffic charge.
A police officer reportedly pulled GloRilla (real name Gloria Hallelujah Woods) over at around 4 a.m. after seeing her make a U-turn at a red light.
The officer claimed he smelt marijuana and alcohol inside the car and that GloRilla told him she’d been drinking that evening. Although she wouldn’t say how much she had to drink, she insisted she was able to drive.
The “Tomorrow 2” hitmaker then took a field sobriety test and apparently struggled to stay on her feet. She also did a number of other tests including an eye-follow test, walk-and-turn, one-leg balance and walk-in-a-straight-line, but failed most of them.

She was also asked to take a breathalyzer test but reportedly refused. During the traffic stop, the police officer claimed that GloRilla’s breast slipped out from under her clothes, which he had to make her aware of.
The 24-year-old was taken to jail just after 6 a.m. and released on bond a few hours later. An associate apparently came to pick up her vehicle from the scene.
After her arrest hit the headlines, GloRilla appeared to make light of the incident by posting a selfie on social media showing her balancing a bottle of port on her head while sticking her tongue out.
The image did not go down well, with some users accusing her of trivializing drink-driving.

“Posting this after getting a dui kinda crazy af drunk driving ain’t no joke,” one person wrote, while another said: “Imagine glamorizing being a drunk driver and putting people lives at risk.”
She later responded to the backlash, tweeting: “We live in a generation fulla fucking ass n-ggas [crying face emojis] [thumb down emojis] Ima keep my lil shit to myself yall got it.”
GloRilla’s brush with the law comes shortly after she released her latest mixtape, Ehhthang Ehhthang, via Yo Gotti‘s CMG and Interscope Records.
The 12-track project boasts features from Moneybagg Yo, Finesse2Tymes, Real Boston Richey and Kevo Muney and Megan Thee Stallion — the latter of whom appears on the standout hit “Wanna Be,” which recently debuted at No. 11 on the Billboard Hot 100.
