Rapper GloRilla arrested on drug charges after burglary at Georgia home
Rapper GloRilla has been arrested in Georgia after cops found a 'significant amount' of drugs while investigating a burglary at her metro Atlanta home. Authorities were called to the rapper's house at around 1:30 a.m. on Saturday to investigate a break-in, the Forsyth County Sheriff's Office confirmed to local ABC affiliate WSB-TV. The 'Let Her Cook' artist, who's legal name is Gloria Woods, was away in Indianapolis for the WNBA All-Star Game at the time of the incident, but a family member inside her home fired a gun at the burglars, causing them to run away, according to police. During the investigation, cops smelled a 'strong odor consistent with illegal narcotics' in a closet inside the home's primary bedroom. A drug task force was called in, after which 'a significant amount of marijuana was discovered in plain view,' according to the sheriff's office. After voluntarily turning herself in to the Forsyth County Jail on Tuesday, the 25-year-old rapper was charged with felony possession of marijuana and possession of a controlled substance. She was released the same day on $22,260 bond. Attorneys for GloRilla have slammed local law enforcement following the incident, calling their client 'a victim, not a suspect.' 'The arrest of Gloria Woods is a disturbing window into how warped law enforcement priorities have become,' her lawyers said in a statement to TMZ. 'Instead of investigating the violent home invasion and theft at Ms. Woods' home, they instead sought a search warrant when they spotted what they believed was a small amount of marijuana. Law enforcement then sought arrest warrants for her even though she hadn't been at her home for some time.' As noted by her lawyers, no arrest warrants have been issued for the burglars, who made off with some 'high-value jewelry.' 'This is our tax dollars at work, absolutely unbelievable,' her attorneys said. Forsyth County Sheriff Ron Freeman called the rapper 'a victim of a serious crime' and said his office is committed bringing the thieves to justice, but noted they must still 'continue to uphold and enforce the law in all aspects of this case.' Following the incident, GloRilla went on to perform at halftime of the WNBA's All-Star Game, singing a medley of her songs 'Let Her Cook,' 'Typa' and 'TGIF.' -----------

GloRilla And Keyshia Cole Unite For 'Typa' Live At 2025 BET Awards
GloRilla brought Glorious energy to the 2025 BET Awards stage and delivered her latest R&B-flavored collaboration. Live from the Peacock Theater in downtown Los Angeles, the Memphis rap star kicked off her performance with tap-dance choreography and a crisp white tuxedo. Joined by backup dancers, GloRilla stole the spotlight with 'Let Her Cook' from her debut album. As the vintage-glam inspired set continued, the 25-year-old brought out Keyshia Cole for the performance debut of their collaboration 'Typa.' The chart-topper draped herself in a white fur coat and sat at a grand piano to introduce the veteran R&B singer. Adorned in a crystal bodysuit and grand white feathers, the 43-year-old sat poised on the piano before singing her 2005 classic 'Love,' which is sampled in 'Typa.' The trending track initially made rounds on TikTok before its official release last week. Keyshia Cole also joined GloRilla in the music video for the track, which stars NFL star Xavier Legette. The Carolina Panthers' wide receiver plays the perfect love interest for Big Glo as she runs down all of the qualifications. 'So Keyshia, have you ever been with somebody that make you wanna be a better version of yourself, but you scared to show them the worst parts of yourself?' GloRilla asks in the creative visual. The R&B star assured, 'If you don't show them who you really are, how will you know if they truly love you?' Watch the 'Typa' music video below and check out GloRilla's performance at the 2025 BET Awards above.

Is Xavier Legette's steamy kiss with GloRilla a PR stunt or a real love story in the making?
Xavier Legette is rumored to be dating Grammy-nominated rapper GloRilla (Getty Images) NFL wide receiver Xavier Legette is used to making headlines with his performance on the field, but lately, it's his off-field moves that have fans buzzing. The Carolina Panthers' rising star has stirred up major attention after appearing as rapper GloRilla's love interest in her latest music video 'Typa. ' From their sultry bedroom scenes to the chemistry they radiated on camera, fans are left wondering—are these two simply collaborators, or is there something more? What's really going on between Xavier Legette and GloRilla after that passionate on-screen kiss? Xavier Legette, known for his Southern charm, viral accent, and unapologetically bold style, isn't new to the social media spotlight. But this time, it's not about his unique personality or his love for raccoons—yes, really—it's about the steamy visuals shared with the Grammy-nominated rapper. Featured on the cover art of 'Typa,' Legette is seen getting extremely close with GloRilla, setting the tone for a music video that's intimate, eye-catching, and loaded with relationship rumors. GloRilla – Typa (Official Music Video) In the video, which dropped Friday morning, the 24-year-old NFL wideout and the 'Tomorrow' hitmaker take their roles beyond surface-level flirtation. At one point, GloRilla, clad in white lingerie, shares a passionate kiss with a shirtless Legette in what looks like a heated bedroom rendezvous. This scene—arguably the most talked-about part—has viewers speculating whether the duo's chemistry is strictly professional or crossing into something personal. Adding more intrigue to the storyline is R&B icon Keyshia Cole, who makes a cameo during a mid-video conversation with GloRilla. Given that 'Typa' samples Cole's classic track 'Love,' her presence adds nostalgic weight and another layer of authenticity to the video. But for many, it's Legette and GloRilla who have stolen the show. What has added fuel to the romantic speculation is the fact that neither GloRilla nor Legette has publicly addressed the nature of their relationship. Legette, who just wrapped a stellar rookie season with 49 receptions, nearly 500 receiving yards, and four touchdowns, has kept his personal life under wraps since his 2024 draft into the NFL. Similarly, GloRilla has rarely let fans in on her private affairs—until now. 'The lyrics of 'Typa' talk about her love for a country man with, uh, other features (just listen for yourself),' which makes Legette a fitting choice for the role. Whether this is a savvy PR move blending music and sports for mutual clout, or the beginning of something genuine, remains to be seen. Either way, it's one of the most talked-about crossovers of the year. So, is it all a calculated move or the spark of something real? As fans wait for confirmation—serious dating rumors or just another collaboration?

Xavier Legette featured in cover art for rapper GloRilla's new single Show Caption Hide Caption Luke Kuechly praises 2025 HOF class Carolina Panthers legend Luke Kuechly has nothing but great things to say about the 2025 Pro Football Hall of Fame class. What NFL players do during the offseason is entirely their prerogative. Some try to pursue rap careers, others enjoy hanging out on boats, and still others take photoshoots with rappers in the hopes of being featured on the cover art of a new single. Carolina Panthers wide receiver Xavier Legette picked the third choice. When rapper GloRilla announced she's releasing a new single, "Typa," on Friday, her social media post included the cover art for the song. The photo she chose for the single prominently features the Panthers' second-year receiver sitting behind the rapper as she counts a stack of $100 bills. CAROLINA PANTHERS SCHEDULE: Games, dates, TV channels, predictions for 2025 season Legette entered the NFL last year after the Panthers selected him with the final pick in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft. Playing in 16 games, he led the team with 84 targets and 49 receptions and was second with his 497 receiving yards and four touchdowns behind veteran Adam Thielen. The second-year South Carolina product is projected to enter the 2025 season as the team's third starter at receiver next to Thielen and incoming rookie – and fellow first-round pick – Tetairoa McMillan. GloRilla is a rapper from Memphis, Tennessee. She released her first commercial mixtape, "Ehhthang Ehhthang," last April before debuting her first studio album, "Glorious," in October. "Typa" will be her first single since she the three she released off of her debut album.
