Three suspects entered Glo's residence and were met with gunfire from an occupant. The intruders fled the scene and no injuries were reported to police. GloRilla was not present at the time of the burglary, law enforcement tells Billboard.
An extensive investigation surrounding the home was conducted by law enforcement, who sensed a strong odor of narcotics, according to the statement. Task force agents subsequently secured a search warrant for the rapper's home and discovered a 'significant amount of marijuana' in plain view in the master bedroom closet.
GloRilla then turned herself in to Forsyth County Jail Tuesday, posted a $22,260 bond and was released the same day.
'The homeowner is a victim of a serious crime, and we are committed to bringing the suspects to justice,' said Sheriff Ron Freeman in a statement. 'At the same time, we must continue to uphold and enforce the law in all aspects of this case.'
The Forsyth County Sheriff's Office has not named any suspects in the burglary case and no arrests have been made as of press time.
Billboard has reached out to reps for GloRilla.
GloRilla also ran into legal trouble in Georgia last year when the CMG rapper was arrested on DUI charges in April 2024 in Gwinnett County.
More recently, Glo performed during the halftime show at the WNBA All-Star Game in Indianapolis over the weekend. She's also preparing for her inaugural Glo Bash at FedEx Forum in her hometown of Memphis on July 25.

Top 8 2025 WNBA All-Star Weekend moments
The post Top 8 2025 WNBA All-Star Weekend moments appeared first on ClutchPoints. The 2025 WNBA All-Star Weekend in Indianapolis, Indiana, wasn't just a series of basketball-related events — it was a cultural spectacle that resonated far beyond the hardwood. From the on-court historic performances to the off-court viral moments, there was no shortage of electrifying activity that entertained fans and created an unforgettable weekend. Let's take a look at the game-changing and transcendent moments that will live on in the W's lore for years to come. 8. Show-stopping fashion WNBA players usually turn heads with their tunnel fashions, but All-Star Weekend's looks were on another level. Sky's Angel Reese and Aces' A'ja Wilson shut the Orange Carpet down with their leopard-print trench coat paired with fierce sunglasses and goddess-like gown with a high slit, respectively. Liberty's Sabrina Ionescu came brand loyal in her Nike swoosh-donned belted dress and tights. Storm's Nneka Ogwumike represented her Nigerian culture with a floor-length patterned gown. Even Courtney Williams and Natisha Hiedeman, AKA the StudBudz, turned their matching track suit sets into merch. The runway-level atmosphere embraced individual expression and busted the myth that women's basketball players can't show off other sides of their personalities through their clothing. 7. Rookies represent Wings' Paige Bueckers and the Mystics' duo of Sonia Citron and Kiki Iriafen carved out their own spotlight over the weekend as the only three rookies in the W chosen as All-Stars. Reserve Citron held her own in the 3-Point Contest, and even though she didn't win, her efforts were recognized and rewarded by Ionescu, who decided to share half of her prize money from her win with the Notre Dame alum. Iriafen had her shining moment during the All-Star Game itself, benefitting from Breanna Stewart's sportsmanlike turnover-assist as she nailed a last-second 4-point shot. And Bueckers' best highlights came from her out-of-game antics — trolling teammates, joining group sing-alongs on the StudBudz's livestream, playing the little sister role to players from around the W, hard-launching her relationship with former UConn teammate Azzi Fudd, and challenging the vets on her All-Star squad, including Collier herself, to one-on-one matchups in practice. The first-year players proved they already have what it takes to hang in the WNBA, and they're each primed for a return trip in a year. With this much excitement right out the gate, W fans might be in for a treat come 2026. 6. Liberty sweep the Skills Challenge, 3-Point Contest Ionescu and Natasha Cloud reminded everyone of New York's roster dominance when it came to the All-Star Friday night events. Ionescu etched her name in the WNBA record books when she became only the second player to win the 3-Point Contest multiple times. Ionescu's hot shooting in the final round edged out Dream star Allisha Gray to take home her second 3-point title after winning in 2023. Cloud's success in the Skills Challenge gave Liberty fans even more to celebrate. The veteran guard posted the fastest time in Round 1 at 34.1 seconds and clinched the title in a tight final with 36.4 seconds, barely beating out the Storm's Erica Wheeler in a thrilling showdown that showcased Cloud's versatility. This marked Cloud's first All-Star event win, and it was much deserved for a player known for her leadership and playoff experience. 5. Caitlin Clark's sideline coaching Despite being sidelined with a nagging groin injury, Fever's Caitlin Clark still made her presence known. As the leader of her team, Clark joined Liberty head coach Sandy Brondello in calling the shots and even went viral for her demand for more 4-point shots. Clark showed off a range of comedic highlights and lowlights, delighting fans and filling the void a bit for those who were eager to catch a glimpse of the reigning Rookie of the Year. 4. Napheesa Collier's record-setting MVP outing One of the most buzzworthy moments from the main event was Collier's explosive performance, which saw the All-Star team captain shatter the game's scoring record with 36 points en route to a 151-131 victory and MVP honor. Collier's play and ability to make her teammates better — even in an exhibition game with no defense — showed exactly why she was voted to be the leader and remains one of the league's most elite players. 3. Skylar Diggins' triple-double determination There was nothing more on the line in the All-Star Game than bragging rights, but Diggins apparently didn't get the memo. The Storm star finished the contest with the first-ever triple-double performance in WNBA All-Star history, highlighted by a hilarious exchange with teammate Williams when she accidentally stole a chance for Diggins to grab a rebound. 2. The 'Pay Us What You Owe Us' movement Off-court activism was present throughout the weekend as players engaged in CBA (collective bargaining agreement) talks with commissioner Cathy Engelbert. After confirmation from the athletes that the discussion didn't go well, they proceeded with their pre-organized plan to wear black T-shirts emblazoned with the phrase 'Pay Us What You Owe Us' in protest. The shirts were met with equal support from the crowd, who held up signs and chanted 'Pay them!' in response. It was a sign of solidarity not just among the players, but the WNBA's faithful fanbase as well, which shows there's a powerful push for fair treatment and pay that's not backing down anytime soon. 1. StudBudz 72-hour Twitch takeover Easily the true highlights of the weekend, the StudBudz's infamous livestream became a cultural phenomenon among women's basketball fans as it fused a behind-the-scenes look at how the W's players interact off the court with a level of authenticity that's rarely seen in sports overall. The stream featured everything from a dance-off with the commissioner to a joint Bobby Shmurda moment between Williams, Hiedeman, and their head coach Reeve, unexpected guest appearances from retired legends and athletes from other sports, romantic couple reveals, club nights (and the morning-after recovery), and general hilarious chaos from the Budz themselves. The StudBudz essentially broke the fourth wall of professional sports, and it ended up being to everyone's benefit. If the fans' rave reviews are any sign, the catchphrases, 'twin,' 'buh-lieve it,' and 'dubs in the chat' will continue to live rent-free in their heads indefinitely. The StudBudz came up with an innovative way to commemorate the weekend and made it feel special, and their impact brought some long-overdue access to players' real lives that seems to have bonded the WNBA with its audience even more. The 2025 WNBA All-Star Weekend was much more than an exhibition — it was the beginning of a movement and major shift in the way the league is perceived. From Collier and Diggins' historic marks in the main game, to Clark's memeable antics, to the bold stand they're taking in CBA talks, to the iconic StudBudz, the W's players have framed themselves as authentic, assertive, and downright unmissable. The weekend was a display of the WNBA boldly embracing itself and its strengths without trying to be a female version of its sibling basketball league, and it was rewarded with a new, well-earned ceiling of visibility. The WNBA didn't just grow; it once again exploded into the mainstream's eye. What comes next depends on how the momentum is handled, but one thing is definitely certain: 2025's WNBA All-Star Weekend established that the W is capable of more than just being about a game — it's a revolution.

Atlanta Dream star Allisha Gray has an interesting HBCU connection
The post Atlanta Dream star Allisha Gray has an interesting HBCU connection appeared first on ClutchPoints. Atlanta Dream star Allisha Gray has enjoyed an incredible season, earning her a spot in last week's All-Star Game, a special moment she shared with her sister. Gray's sister Ashley was among several other members of Allisha's family to travel to Indianapolis to see her partake in the All-Star festivities. Via her father and sister, Gray shares a very deep HBCU connection. Ashley Gray is a basketball player at Alabama State University. She's entering her senior season with the Hornets, a team that she committed to in November 2021. Allisha was in attendance when Ashley made her commitment and posted about it on her Instagram page. 'Congrats to my Lil sis for signing with Alabama State today for basketball!! I'm so proud of you! Love you,' she said on her Instagram account. Ashley was a standout in high school. She earned several honors, including being named First-Team All-State and scoring 1,000 career points. Fittingly, she won the Allisha Gray MVP Award. She's been a contributor to the Lady Hornets team throughout her time with the team, logging nine starts last season. But Ashley isn't the only HBCU alumnus in the Gray family. Her dad, Allen Gray, is an alumnus of West Virginia State University. While at the institution, he ran track and played basketball while working toward his degree. In an interview with The Next Hoops, Gray spoke about how her family has been supportive of her WNBA journey. 'They're going to get on that road for every home game,' she said. 'That's been one of my favorite things about playing in Atlanta. Knowing I can also drive home to see them on off days is everything, especially the home-cooked meals.' Being able to play for your home state team and get the support from your family is certainly a blessing that has helped Gray become one of the best players in the league. She's currently averaging a career high 18.6 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 3.9 assists for a Dream team that added massive talent to it's roster and looks to enter themselves amongst the contenders in the WNBA.

Travis Scott Reaches A New Career Peak
Travis Scott reaches a career high point on Billboard's Top Streaming Albums chart, where Jackboys ... More 2, his new set with Jackboys, opens at No. 4. PARIS, FRANCE - SEPTEMBER 27: (EDITORIAL USE ONLY - For Non-Editorial use please seek approval from Fashion House) Travis Scott walks the runway during the Vetements Paris Womenswear Spring-Summer 2025 show as part of Paris Fashion Week on September 27, 2024 in Paris, France. (Photo by) Travis Scott's new album, Jackboys 2 — which is credited to both Scott as a solo musician and his group Jackboys, which features several other rappers — debuts across in lofty positions on a number of Billboard charts this week. The full-length arrived with little warning during an exciting tracking period, as Scott and company competed against Swag, Justin Bieber's highly-anticipated new album, which also dropped with minimal notice. Jackboys 2 wins most races, and even on the rankings where it doesn't launch at No. 1, the set still manages to bring both the band and Scott to career highs. Travis Scott and Jackboys Hit a New High Jackboys 2 opens at No. 4 on the Top Streaming Albums chart, Billboard's ranking of the most successful collections on platforms like Apple Music, Amazon Music, Spotify, and others. That position is the lowest starting point for Jackboys 2 on any tally in America, and yet it's a special placement for both credited stars. No. 4 now stands as the highest that either Scott or Jackboys have reached on the Top Streaming Albums tally. Scott earns his third career placement and second top 10 with the collaborative project, which beats the No. 9 peak Utopia managed in March of last year. He also sent Days Before Rodeo to No. 11 for a single frame in early September 2020. For Jackboys, this project marks a debut appearance on the Top Streaming Albums list. Justin Bieber's Swag Wins One The Top Streaming Albums chart is one of just two Billboard lists where Bieber reigns. Swag opens in first place, earning Bieber his first champion, while it also conquers the Top R&B Albums tally. In most instances — such as on the Top Album Sales ranking and the Billboard 200 — Jackboys 2 comes out on top. The Biggest Album in America This Week Jackboys 2 is easily the biggest album in America this week, as it shifted 232,000 equivalent units between pure purchases and streaming activity. Of that sum, 160,000 are sales, according to Luminate, with much of the rest coming from tens of millions of plays on streaming platforms. The set manages to conquer the Billboard 200, Top Album Sales, Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, and Top Rap Albums charts upon its debut thanks to one of the most impressive openings of 2025.
