The backstory:
Forsyth County deputies were called to the home of the rapper, whose legal name is Gloria Woods, last week in response to a burglary during which shots were fired. By the time deputies arrived, the intruders had fled, reportedly taking some of Woods’ jewelry.
During their investigation, deputies said they detected the smell of marijuana and subsequently obtained a search warrant. According to the sheriff’s office, a "significant amount" of marijuana was later found in a bedroom closet.
