GloRilla Arrested on Felony Drug Possession Charges Following Burglary of Her Georgia Home
GloRilla (real name Gloria Woods) was arrested in Georgia on Tuesday (July 22) after turning herself in to Forsyth County Jail, where she was charged with felony possession of marijuana and possession of a schedule one controlled substance. A spokesperson for the Forsyth County Sheriff's Office revealed in a statement to Billboard that the arrest was tied to a burglary of GloRilla's home; officers had responded to the break-in around 1:30 a.m. local time on Saturday (July 20).

'Who Wants To Be a Millionaire' Hot 100 Question Trips Up Drew Carey, Aisha Tyler & Audience Kesha Reveals Cassie Ventura Sent Her Flowers Ahead of MSG Concert: 'Love You Sweet Girl' 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.

GloRilla Speaks Out Following Drug Arrest: ‘Instead of Finding the Suspects, They Focus on Some Cannabis'
GloRilla has spoken out after being arrested for a pair of felony drug possession charges in Georgia. The Memphis rapper's arrest came after law enforcement searched her home following a burglary while Glo was out of town for her performance at the WNBA All-Star Game on Saturday (July 20).

The CMG artist says she doesn't understand how her home being burglarized could lead to her arrest while she's not even present. 'CRAZY My House got Home Invaded Saturday While I was in Indianapolis performing for the WNBA all star game,' she wrote to X on Thursday (July 24). 'Instead of Focusing on finding the Suspects , they focus on some cannabis.' Glo continued to clear the air: '1. So no I wasn't busted 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.' The suspects fled the scene after being met with gunfire by occupants at Glo's home, but no arrest warrants have been issued by police. GloRilla posted a $22,260 bond to secure her release just hours after turning herself in. Glo's attorney, Drew Findling, slammed law enforcement in a statement to Billboard, calling the arrest 'a disturbing window into how warped law enforcement priorities have become.' Findling concluded with another jab: 'This is our tax dollars at work, absolutely unbelievable.' GloRilla will host her first-ever Glo Bash on Friday (July 25) in her hometown of Memphis at FedEx Forum with performances from Sexyy Red, Rob 49 and Muni of Billboard Chart Rewind: In 1989, New Kids on the Block Were 'Hangin' Tough' at No. 1 Janet Jackson's Biggest Billboard Hot 100 Hits H.E.R. & Chris Brown 'Come Through' to No. 1 on Adult R&B Airplay Chart

Travis Kelce Recaps His & Taylor Swift's ‘Adventures This Offseason' in Adorable Photos
Travis Kelce just gave fans a rare look into his and Taylor Swift's love story, sharing a bunch of unseen photos from their recent adventures on Thursday (July 24). In the first of the pictures posted to Kelce's Instagram, he and his superstar girlfriend pose together at night while on a boat, both of them wearing white and pointing to their matching 'Captain' caps. In another adorable snap, he holds up finger guns while Swift shows off a pair of glasses, with the couple seemingly out on a dinner date.

In the latter, Kelce rests a hand on Swift's hip while she places a hand lovingly on his neck, with the duo's friends smiling at the camera to their left. 'Had some adventures this offseason, kept it [100],' Kelce wrote in his caption. Though the Kansas City Chiefs star has been open about being romantically involved with the 14-time Grammy winner, his post marks one of the first times he's shared photos of himself and Swift on Instagram. The couple has been dating since 2023, but now that the singer's Eras Tour is over and Kelce has had a break between NFL seasons, they've seemingly had more time to spend together. One event the couple attended together was Kelce's Tight End University, an annual summit held in Nashville for the NFL's tight ends. Swift walked the red carpet with her boyfriend at the gathering's opening ceremonies before delivering a surprise performance of 'Shake It Off' at an afterparty. The musician also recently came up during a discussion between Travis and his brother, Jason Kelce, on their New Heights podcast. While discussing the film Pretty Woman, the younger Kelce joked that he's living a gender-swapped version of the movie's plot with Swift. 'I'm wearing nothing but a tie when Taylor comes home,' he quipped on the episode. 'I'm just an NFL stripper, that's it — just an NFL hooker, man.'

Britney or Whitney? ‘Who Wants To Be a Millionaire' Hot 100 Question Trips Up Drew Carey, Aisha Tyler & Audience
If only they had an 'Ask a Billboard Charts Fan' lifeline. On the season premiere last night (Wednesday, July 23) of ABC's Who Wants To Be a Millionaire, contestants Drew Carey and Aisha Tyler were cruising along, until they got to a question about the Hot 100. More from Billboard Britney Spears' 20 Biggest Hot 100 Hits, From '…Baby One More Time' to 'Hold Me Closer' Jamal Roberts Shares How His Life Changed Since Winning 'Idol' & Why He Never Wants to Leave 'Mississippi' Daniel Caesar Talks Working With 'Genius' Tyler, the Creator, Says Justin Bieber 'Can Sing His A- Off' The two stars (who each previously hosted Whose Line Is It Anyway?) had won $16,000 for their charities — La Maida Project and International Rescue Committee, respectively — when they were faced with the following question from host Jimmy Kimmel: 'With a whopping 11, which of these singers has more #1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 than the other three combined?' The choices: 'A: Whitney Houston / B: Celine Dion / C: Tina Turner / D: Britney Spears' Carey and Tyler were originally on the right track. 'I think it's A or B,' Carey said. 'I actually think it's A or D,' Tyler countered. As they pondered the question further, they drifted toward Spears, given, in part, that Houston died in 2012. They decided to ask the audience, who voted and settled on Spears (60%) as the consensus correct answer, followed by Houston (38%) and rounded out distantly by Dion (2%) and Turner (0%). The pair trusted the audience and Tyler the delivered the fateful words: 'Britney Spears, final answer.' The correct answer then flashed in green … Whitney Houston. 'The answer rhymed with 'itney',' Kimmel consoled Carey and Tyler. Unfortunately not the students of the Billboard charts that they needed to be for that particular question, the tandem learned that Houston achieved 11 career Hot 100 No. 1s. Spears has scored five; Dion, four; and Turner, one. Houston's 11 leaders, between 1985 and 1995: 'Saving All My Love for You,' 'How Will I Know,' 'Greatest Love of All,' 'I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me),' 'Didn't We Almost Have It All,' 'So Emotional,' 'Where Do Broken Hearts Go,' 'I'm Your Baby Tonight,' 'All the Man That I Need,' 'I Will Always Love You' and 'Exhale (Shoop Shoop).' Spears has topped the Hot 100 with '…Baby One More Time,' 'Womanizer,' '3,' 'S&M' (with Rihanna) and 'Hold It Against Me,' between 1999 and 2011. Houston boasts the ninth-most No. 1s in the Hot 100's 67-year history. The Beatles lead with 20, followed by Mariah Carey (19), Rihanna (14), Drake, Michael Jackson (13 each), Madonna, the Supremes and Taylor Swift (12 each). Janet Jackson and Stevie Wonder (10 each) have also each earned double-digit totals. Despite their elimination, Carey and Tyler's night ended on an important positive, as they received $32,000 for their charities. Also good: the next Who Wants To Be a Millionaire contestants got their own Hot 100 question correct. Jeopardy host Ken Jennings and Kimmel frenemy Matt Damon knew that the briefest hit ever on the chart, Jack Black's 'Steve's Lava Chicken,' is from A Minecraft Movie. 'We hear that a lot in my house,' Kimmel noted of the 34-second-long (or, short) hit.
