The past couple years for GloRilla have been full of some extremely high highs and some unfortunate lows. The success of her awesome single "Yeah Glo!" led to a strong debut album and even an SNL appearance, but she's also dealt with setbacks like a drunk driving arrest and a St. Louis show where so many fights were breaking out in the audience that she walked offstage. Now she's run into trouble with the law again.

GloRilla, real name Gloria Woods, was arrested in Georgia's Forsyth County on felony drug charges, TMZ reports. The charges against her reportedly include possession of a scheduled controlled substance and possession of marijuana over one ounce. Police told TMZ GloRilla was taken into custody Tuesday and released on $22,000 bond.

UPDATE: In a post on X, GloRilla says her arrest resulted from someone else invading her Atlanta home Saturday while she was in Indianapolis performing at the WNBA All-Star Game. Here's the text of her post:

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

1. So no I wasn’tbusted
2. My house got robbed
3. I wasn’t home

Long story short my house gets home invaded and Im the only one that gets arrested.

So that’s tea🤷🏼‍♀️

WBS-TV confirms that police responded to a burglary call at 1:30 a.m. Saturday. Police say three suspects were inside the home stealing items when a separate person began firing at them. When police entered the building, they smelled marijuana and found a "significant amount" of it, resulting in GloRilla's arrest Tuesday. "The homeowner is a victim of a serious crime, and we are committed to bringing the suspects to justice," Sheriff Ron Freeman told WBS. "At the same time, we must continue to uphold and enforce the law in all aspects of this case."
