GloRilla’s recent arrest for driving under the influence might have some fans worried about her future on “Wanna Be” collaborator Megan Thee Stallion’s upcoming tour, but there is one person who seemed delighted by the news. Kay’La Lillard, NBA star Damian Lillard’s ex-wife, joked about the arrest on Instagram, posting a report from The Shade Room into her Instagram Story, and including the caption “Free GloLillard.” She also threw in the hashtag, “#sisterwife.”
Her jokes stem from the recent NBA All-Star Game this past February, where Glo got a few photos with Dame. She later posted them on her Twitter page (I am never going to call it “X,” not sorry), taking the opportunity to shoot her own shot. ““Who n**** dis is?” she wrote. “Cause I want him #GetEmGlo.” In a later tweet, she trolled, ““Whoever she is can’t whoop me so I really dgaf.” While Dame and Kay’La filed for divorce in October 2023, just after Dame was traded to the Milwaukee Bucks, it seems she didn’t appreciate Glo’s comments — or like most people, just found them hilarious.
Meanwhile, when Shannon Sharpe asked Glo if anything happened between her and Damian on his show Club Shay Shay, she played coy. “The halfcourt shot?” she mused, falling back on her now-infamous catchphrase. “You know, at the end of the day, the day gon’ end.”
GloRilla had a rough night in Georgia. The CMG rap queen was charged with driving under the influence early Tuesday morning.
GloRilla was pulled over at 4 a.m. after making a U-Turn at a red light. According to TMZ, GloRilla’s car carried an odor of marijuana and alcohol. The “Yeah Glo” rapper admitted she drank before operating the car, took a full field sobriety test, and did not pass. She did not participate in a breathalyzer test.
Additionally, law enforcement noted that her breast was exposed in the traffic stop. She was unaware before they alerted her.

In the ever-dynamic realm of celebrity drama, Kayla Lillard, estranged wife of NBA’s Damian Lillard, has entered the chat. In response to Glorilla’s recent arrest on suspicion of DUI in Georgia, Kay’La poked in on the jokes. The rapper, known by her legal name Gloria Hallelujah Woods, found herself in the spotlight after reportedly being apprehended in Suwanee, Georgia, a suburb just outside Atlanta. Amidst this backdrop of legal trouble, Kayla Lillard took to social media to laugh at the situation. Moreover, she reposted Glorilla’s mugshot with a caption that provocatively read “free glolillard,” accompanied by a laughing face emoji and the hashtag “#sisterwife.” “She mad, hurt and taking it out on the wrong person,” one person commented on the situation.
“So Glo got Damian? Is that what she is telling us?” another user questioned. “Girl take that man last name off your name,” another said. The response seemingly stemmed when Glorilla made a bold move a couple weeks ago shooting her shot at Dame. She posted a picture with Damian Lillard during all-star weekend and teasingly questioning his relationship status with the caption, “Who man is this? Cause I want him #getemglo.” She added, “Whoever she is can’t whoop me so I really don’t give af.” Glo’s tone in the social post made it seem as though she really didn’t care who’s man it was. And that she would fight over him.
Furthermore, to truly appreciate the gravity of this unfolding drama, it’s essential to rewind to 2021, when Damian Lillard exchanged vows with his college sweetheart, Kay’La Hanson. They had a star-studded ceremony featuring performances by Snoop Dogg and Common. However, the marital bliss was short-lived, as Damian’s subsequent move from the Portland Trail Blazers to the Milwaukee Bucks in late 2023 signaled the beginning of the end for their relationship. The following divorce proceedings cited “irreconcilable differences” as the catalyst for their separation.
Moreover, Glorilla’s arrest on Tuesday morning (April 16) only served to heighten the tension surrounding this already tumultuous narrative. According to reports from TMZ, officers detected the odor of marijuana and alcohol during a routine traffic stop, leading to Glorilla’s detainment. In an odd twist, it was noted in the police report that Glorilla’s breast was exposed during the encounter, prompting officers to address the situation. Stay tuned to HNHH as the saga of Glorilla, Damian Lillard, and Kayla Lillard unfolds.
GloRilla was busy online promoting “Wanna Be” featuring Megan Thee Stallion on Wednesday, April 17, so nothing seemed amiss. However, according to TMZ, GloRilla was “arrested and booked […] on suspicion of driving under the influence, consuming and possessing an open alcoholic beverage container, and a separate traffic charge” in Gwinnett County, Georgia.
TMZ obtained the police report, which details that the platinum-certified rapper born Gloria Woods was taken to jail at 6:12 a.m. on Tuesday morning, April 16, but “bonded out a few hours later.” GloRilla suffered “a wardrobe malfunction.” When police wanted GloRilla to submit to a breathalyzer, which GloRilla reportedly “refused,” her “breast slipped out from under her clothes.”
GloRilla had initially been pulled over by police around 4 a.m. EST because she was spotted “making a U-turn at a solid red traffic light.” The reporting police officer claimed GloRilla’s car smelled of alcohol and marijuana, and while GloRilla allegedly admitted that she had been drinking earlier in the evening, “she wouldn’t say how much she’d consumed and insisted she was good to drive.”
The police report states that a field sobriety test was administered, including “the eye-follow test, the walk-and-turn, one-leg balance,” and asking GloRilla to walk in a straight line. As per TMZ, “the cops claim she bombed” most of these sobriety tests and especially struggled with “staying on her feet.”
As of this writing, GloRilla has not publicly commented on this matter.
Megan Thee Stallion is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.
GloRilla likes to have fun. Her biggest hits, “Wanna Be” and “Blessed,” are about dispatching the haters and living life to the fullest. Unfortunately, the “Blessed” rapper appeared to have too much fun during a recent stop in Gwinnett Country, Georgia. TMZ reported that GloRilla was arrested on Tuesday, April 16 on suspicion of driving under the influence. She was also charged with an unrelated traffic charge and possessing an open alcoholic beverage container.
GloRilla was pulled over at 4 AM ET on Tuesday morning, according to local police. She made an illegal U-turn at a red light, and was subsequently pulled over. The officer who filled out the arrest sheet stated that the rapper’s car smelled of alcohol and marijuana, but she refused to divulge how much she’d had of either. She then insisted that she was fine to drive, which led the officer to administer a field sobriety test. GloRilla failed each part of the test, per TMZ, and refused to take a breathalyzer afterwards. It was during said refusal that the arresting officer claimed that GloRilla suffered a wardrobe malfunction. Her breast slipped out of her dress, which she was unaware of until she was explicitly told.
GloRilla Was Charged With Having Open Alcohol In A Car

GloRilla was taken into custody around 6:12 AM ET, and subsequently released on bond. This is not the first time she’s run into trouble with the law. She admitted to serving jail time over an unspecified crime during an appearance on Cornbread TV. GloRilla neglected to reveal the details of the crime. She did, however, shoot down the rumor that she served three years in prison for stealing boxes of cereal from KMart. The rumor became so popular that the rapper actually mocked fans on X (formerly Twitter) for believing it.
“You hoes really sat y’all ass up there & believed I went to jail for 3 years for stealing cereal,” she tweeted in 2023. “Dats why you ho*s hearts be in y’all a*s today because y’all believe whatever a n***a tell you,” she wrote. “Dats da reason you N***as be taking care of kids dats not y’all’s till they 12 because you believe whatever a ho [sic] tell you!”
GloRilla has yet to publicly address her DUI charges.
GloRilla and JT have been the topic of a flurry of rumors for over five months. At first, all indications that these rumors held no weight. However, this has since been upturned as the pair have traded some serious insults on Twitter. Beyond that, they’ve issued some even more serious threats to one another. In fact, JT has made it very clear that she doesn’t mind going back to jail, despite GloRilla recently claiming that they aren’t beefing on “Aite.” It’s unclear where they currently stand, but after the release of “Aite,” GloRilla and JT have not seen eye to eye.
The story about the alleged incident was made known to the public by The Rap-Up podcast’s Armon Wiggins in October 2023. The story went something like this: GloRilla approached JT at the 2023 VMAs with what seemed to be a friendly gesture. However, the interaction didn’t go as planned because JT allegedly rebuffed her. Glo then allegedly got violent and sent a drink, a hand, or a purse flying JT’s way. This incident set tongues wagging, and before long, the rumor mill churned out the story that GloRilla slapped JT.
Many found Armon Wiggins’ dramatic tale a little hard to believe especially since no one else had corroborated these claims. The only third party to ever disclose the story is Wiggins and he divulged this anecdote a month after the VMAs, a highly publicized event. To further clear the air, GloRilla’s album Ehhthang Ehhthang, released on April 5, included the song “Aite.” In the lyrics, GloRilla addressed the situation with JT, stating, “Me and JT ain’t the best of friends, but we ain’t beefin’.”
April 5th Wasn’t “Aite”
While the story should have ended there, the story took yet another turn after JT, in multiple posts denied having been hit by GloRilla. On April 5th, she made yet another tweet denying it but also accused Glo of perpetuating a false story through her music. She said that GloRilla was playing into the rumors for publicity when she “…released a song about slapping b*tches…” only to follow it up with “Aite,” and “…now it’s female unity??CORNY!!!!”
In response, GloRilla fiercely defended her song in a series of tweets that have since been deleted. “Hoe shut yo dumb ass up & fix dem uglass wigs I said it ain’t no beef ho you da one with da secret animosity,” she began. Soon after, she followed up another tweet that read, “I mentioned yo name to clear the air, what you wanted me to say I didn’t slap you but with a purse instead?? Scary ass ho.”
The drama between GloRilla and JT escalated further when Glo shared a tweet that read, “Nvm no free promo.” This seemingly innocuous statement set off a chain reaction of heated exchanges. JT, not one to hold back, responded vehemently. She accused GloRilla of being a liar and dismissed the idea that GloRilla had hit her with anything. She tweeted: “OMG you are a liarrrr! B*tch you didn’t hit me with shit FANNED out ass b*tch you approach me sounding like an old beat-up box Chevy ‘WHAT UP GANG’.”
Evidently, GloRilla wasn’t backing down either. She referenced the night of the altercation one more time saying: “Inmate 0983 was taking off her shoes like she was gone get to me. Didn’t know if her a$$ was trying to get active or get sturdy. Lying about getting touched is crazyyy.”
GloRilla subsequently issued a warning to JT. She threatened to show up uninvited at one of JT’s “Backyard BBQ shows.” The gloves were off, and both artists began making bold threats. Before then, JT accused Glo of causing “all that sh*t with FNF remix too! Came in the game messy & phony ready to switch up on [her] homies too had to jump back on the roof.”
However, in a cryptic move, JT also made another tweet captioned with the word “Pending.” The tweet was a picture showing eight of her mugshots from over the years. The red-circled blank spot hinted at an upcoming addition to her collection. It was a bold statement, suggesting that she wasn’t one to shy away from a physical confrontation, and was ready for whatever turn it would take.
Glo took her up on the offer though. She replied that JT didn’t have what it took to face her since “dem mugshots is from you stealing not fighting.” JT followed that up by making her threats against GloRilla even bolder. Specifically, she wrote that her ninth mugshot would be from me “poking holes in you like the air mattresses you were sleeping on.”
It’s Probably Not Over Yet
Bitches be Sneak dissing letting they flunky wanna be ME ass friends hype they head up but when I come just know I’m not gone play with neither one of yall bitches yall long over due! HATING ASS BITCH!
Two days before, JT had also taken to social media to address female rappers who allegedly sneak dissed her. She tweeted, “Bitches be Sneak dissing letting their flunky wanna be ME ass friends hype their head up, but when I come, just know I’m not gonna play with neither one of y’all bitches. Y’all are long overdue.” Since then, she has had online rifts, even with her best friend, fellow City Girl Yung Miami. She also got into it with Cardi B as well.
Meanwhile, GloRilla made an appearance at the 2024 CMT Music Awards. When asked about the back-and-forth with JT on Twitter, GloRilla chose to respond in a cryptic manner. In fact, her reply was rather philosophical. She simply said, “Everything just always everything. At the end of the day, that day gon’ motherf—in’ end. Everything is everything. That day gotta end.”
The City Girls may be known for having bold attitudes, but that doesn’t mean they welcome drama into their personal lives. Unfortunately, like most celebrities, Yung Miami and JT find themselves caught up in internet beef, even recently going at one another on Twitter/X. Last week, it seemed as though tensions were brewing between the partners in rhyme as onlookers made comments about Miami not showing enough support to JT. Both women expressed frustration at how the opinions of others were coming between their close bond but were able to make up in the end.
Elsewhere, the Caresha Please host is still fighting off allegations of being a “sex worker” for Diddy, as alleged in Lil Rod’s lawsuit. Rather than running and hiding, Miami dropped off her “CFWM” single earlier this spring and has attempted to focus her energy on promoting that. However, another rising rap diva accused the Florida native of stealing her bars, resulting in even more drama. On Tuesday (April 16), the fashionista used her online presence to vent about how exhausting things have been for her lately.
Yung Miami Hints at Why She Didn’t Come Between GloRilla and JT
I am a grown ass lady with 2 kids & don’t have time to be inserting myself in anything that has nothing to do with me! I dont have a problem with anyone please leave me alone!!!!!!!!!!!! Everyday I wake up on this app it’s something new I am tired!
“I am a grown a** lady with two kids, I don’t have time to be inserting myself in anything that has nothing to do with me!” she wrote this morning. Some think that Miami’s referring to a spat between GloRilla and JT, but it’s hard to say for sure. “I don’t have a problem with anyone, please leave me alone!!!” the City Girl continued. “Every day I wake up on this app it’s something new, I am tired!”
As Yung Miami said, her main priority right now is promoting her “CFWM” single featuring Skilla Baby, and she doesn’t want any drama to distract from her delivery over the MIA JAY C-produced beat.

GloRilla, the Memphis-based rapper, recently made a guest appearance on the Club Shay Shay podcast, hosted by Shannon Sharpe. As a star rapidly on the rise, all eyes are on GloRilla yet she sometimes finds herself at the center of controversy and social media discourse. During her appearance on the podcast, the bold rapper took to the podcast to share about her childhood, as well as dream collabs, and influences. She also candidly discussed her latest mixtape, Ehhthang Ehhthang, revealing insights into her creative process and artistic vision. Here are some of the biggest takeaways from the interview.
“@yogotti be like @beyonce to the BS. He be like, ‘Don’t worry about it.’ … I got God on my side. Stuff can seem slow at one point, but like they say, ‘He may not come when you want him, but he’s going to always be there.’” – @GloTheofficialpic.twitter.com/YCfAjoklGO
During the interview, GloRilla opened up to Shannon Sharpe about how Yo Gotti mentors her and his influence on her music. “One thing about me, I don’t record a lot,” she began. “Like if I don’t like a song I’mma scratch it, like the moment I write it and it’s not good, I’m not going to record or nothing. And so, like I could be in the studio for 10 hours, write two songs not like them and I won’t record. He just be telling me like ‘Record them, every song. It might end up being good.’ And I don’t think it’s good,right? You know what I’m saying. Every song you make not just gonna be like that but just do it. You never know what the song gonna do.”
GloRilla Tells Shannon Sharpen She Welcomes Criticism
Moving forward with the interview, the topic of criticism came up. When Shannon Sharpe asked about how she blocks all the noise, GloRilla revealed that she doesn’t. Instead, she listens to it and makes corrections. “The thing with me is, criticism I like it,” she said. “All my friends know when I talk to them, I’m the most blunt person they ever meet…Don’t lie to me like tell me criticism because when I go out in the public, they going to say it anyway. So, it’s certain shit that I take from criticism like when people be talking shit like ‘oh she did this. It’s this, it’s that.’ Okay, I’m going to take heed to that right and fix it.”
During the Club Shay Shay interview, GloRilla revealed a few artists that she would love to collaborate with, and why. Dropping big names like Beyonce, Drake, and Lil Wayne, GloRilla built her dream collab. “Five people I want to collab with I haven’t collab with,” she started. “Number one, Beyonce. Number two would be Drake and Lil Wayne, I love them.” Future and Chief Keef rounded out her 5-man team. “I grew up on Beyonce,” she continued. “She forever going to be my favorite artist of all time. Lil Wayne and Drake, they just like lyrical beasts. I love they swag and their approach to songs, and how they come on the beats and shit. Chief Keef just was young and turnt like, he was the first young turnt rapper I ever knew about… Future just a GOAT.”
GloRilla Opened Up About Her Childhood

“We used to be jackin’. That’s what a lot of people in one house gon do though… we used to get on each other’s nerves, and pick on each other and fight.” pic.twitter.com/MB84aLbolq
On Club Shay Shay, GloRilla opened up about her childhood days, especially living in a house with nine siblings. Being the eighth child herself, the rapper revealed that things were quite hard for her and her brothers and sisters. “Just imagine, it was a lot of us so we used to get on each other nerves and pick on each other and fight,” she said. “Well, we love each other at the end of the day though… We used to get whoopings.”
She also spoke about life being homeschooled, and the circumstances that led to her and her siblings enrolling in school. “Like every child got whoopings, but my sister didn’t,” she continued. “So, she used to call DCS on my mama and she was like, ‘my momma used to beat on us and we weren’t learning nothing in homeschool’ and all this stuff. And so, my mama had to put us in school after that.”
Her Frustrations With Social Media’s Double Standards
. @GloTheofficial On Body Shaming & Social Media Being Harder on Women vs Men
“A dude can be ugly as hell, but if he bumping they don’t give a f*ck… if they think your feet too big, anything, they just gon talk about you all the time. You a female, you supposed to be perfect.” pic.twitter.com/sY1tM7gLmK
Speaking on how social media netizens held double standards, GloRilla explained to Shannon Sharpe her views and experiences with how the internet offers little grace for women compared to men. “They be hard on us. Social media be way harder on females than men you think,” she insisted. “So because a n***a can be ugly as hell but if he bumping, they don’t give a shit. ‘oh my God we love you.’ If they don’t like a certain part of your body, they think you too skinny, they think your feet too big or anything, they just going to talk about you all the time. Like they like, ‘oh you’re a female. You supposed to be perfect.’ They don’t hold men to the ‘being perfect’ standard. They hold women to that.”
GloRilla’s latest mixtape, Ehhthang Ehhthang, carries a multifaceted message that resonates with the pulse of contemporary Hip Hop culture. Expectedly, the Memphis gem leans into her thick Southerness all through. As a result, the mixtape is a blunt journey through the sweltering streets and the unfiltered narratives of the South. Ehhthang Ehhthang is a nod to authenticity and a reminder that staying true to oneself is an art form.
Straightaway, on “Yeah Glo!,” GloRilla flexes her lyrical muscles. She proclaims superiority over haters, flaunts her luxurious lifestyle, and delivers a hook that sticks like glue. Its unapologetic swagger becomes an invitation to join her in the spotlight. A definitive album opener, it sets the scene for the bold rap star. Moreover, GloRilla is also comfortable with her badassery. Take “Opp Sh*t” for example, a song about having to navigate love in hostile territory. Aggressive rap meets a hard-as-concrete beat, creating a concoction stronger than a four-horsemen drink. But the real gem? Her vivid storytelling keeps you on the edge, waiting for the next twist. It’s an in-your-face ode to heartbreak, convention, and probably even familial loyalty. The former choir girl is keeping things 100, asserting her gospel truth.
Balancing Tradition And Innovation
Tracks like “All Dere” also pay homage to the golden era of Hip Hop. GloRilla’s flow rides the beats like a seasoned surfer catching the perfect wave but she doesn’t stop there. She sprinkles her lyrics with modern references — Instagram flexing, crypto investments, and late-night Uber rides. It’s both a wink to the past and a nod to the present.
Furthermore, it’s important to think of the mixtape as a time machine that transports listeners to sweaty dance floors, neon-lit alleys, and the raw energy of underground parties from the late 90s and early 2000s. The beats evoke memories of boomboxes, breakdancing, and boom-bap. But this isn’t a mere throwback; it’s a reinvention. On Ehhthang Ehhthang, GloRilla takes the familiar and injects it with her own swag. By adding trap snares, distorted synths, and unexpected samples, the production boosts the album’s diverse sound. However, there’s a flip side. Some beats lack cohesion. They stumble, unsure of their identity. It’s as if they’re caught between two worlds — a nostalgic era and the trap-infused present. GloRilla, like a tightrope walker, navigates this balancing act as best she can though. She teeters on the edge, occasionally slipping into mediocrity but when she finds her footing, magic happens.
Collaborations play a pivotal role in the mixtape. Whether it’s the undeniable chemistry with MoneyBagg Yo on “All Dere,” or the fierce energy alongside Megan Thee Stallion on “Wanna Be,” GloRilla thrives in partnership. These features were nearly magical, becoming a testament to the power of collective creativity. Unfortunately, though, not all of GloRilla’s guests shine this way on Ehhthang Ehhthang.
The mixtape includes a few other artists whose verses sometimes feel like obligatory pit stops rather than memorable collaborations. It’s nothing much to worry about, however; GloRilla herself remains the undisputed star. Her lyrical prowess is a beacon: sharp, unapologetic, and dripping with Southern charm. She can rap circles around most, and she knows it. Her verses are a masterclass in assertiveness, she’s definitely not one to play second fiddle.
On Ehhthang Ehhthang, GloRilla Touches All Bases
Throughout the album, GloRilla exudes energy. It’s infectious, like a fever spreading through a packed club. The beats pulse, urging listeners to move — whether they’re in a dimly lit room or nodding along during their morning commute. But here’s the paradox: while the overall experience is enjoyable, some individual songs fall into the “okay” category. They’re like snapshots — moments frozen in time, capturing the adrenaline rush but lacking depth.
Nonetheless, the club anthems to the introspective tracks, GloRilla paints a vivid picture of life’s highs and lows. She doesn’t shy away from the darker corners — the love for drugs, the tangled relationships, and the late-night escapades. It’s a raw exploration of human experiences, set against a backdrop of bass-heavy beats.
In the grand scheme, GloRilla’s trajectory is more than promising. If she hones her production choices, curates features that match her intensity, and continues to elevate her craft, her full-length debut could catapult her to the next level. She’s already among the best on CMG (Collective Music Group), and her star continues to rise. Ehhthang Ehhthang seems to be a mega-sized stepping stone, and it’s evidently just a glimpse of what’s to come for GloRilla. So keep your eyes on the horizon, because this Memphis native is seeking to rewrite the playbook.
Last week, JT and GloRilla first engaged in what would become a massive Twitter beef. The fiery exchange has seen the pair arguing about an huge variety of things. In one moment the City Girls’ rapper claimed that GloRilla had absolutely no sex appeal. They’ve also gone back and forth over a story about Glo allegedly hitting her with a purse. But even as JT has been making up with other people she beefed with online like Saucy Santana and Yung Miami, she doesn’t seem to be letting up on Glo.
Earlier today a fan caught her liking a tweet that definitely spoke on how she feels about the beef. “JT been supported and showed each girl love! but they forget that when they get to tweeting & make her look crazy” the tweet she liked reads. It popped up in the rapper’s likes and fans quickly took notice. In an Instagram post sharing the tweet she liked, fans largely took her side. “i mean she liked a truthful tweet” and “Jt also congratulated Glo on going top 10! But yall forgot that’s why Cardi was mad huh” two of the top comments on the post read. Check out the full variety of fan reactions below.
Earlier this week, GloRilla was in attendance at the CMT Awards. While on the red carpet she was asked about the ongoing beef. “Ehhhthang just always Ehhhthang, and at the end of the day, that day gon’ motherf***ing end,” she said in response to a question about why she had to go in so hard on the City Girls rapper.
Last month, JT teamed up with Doechii for the release of a new single called “Alter Ego.” What do you think of JT liking a comment claiming other rappers are switching up on her after she shows them love? Do you agree with the statement in the tweet she liked? Let us know in the comment section below.
