GloRilla denies ever going to jail over stolen cereal, despite what she claimed in her viral interview with Funny Marco in 2022.

Funny Marco undoubtedly produces some of the funniest interviews with rappers. Whether interviewing people like Ari Fletcher or Boosie Badazz, he manages to keep a straight face when he asks the most outrageous questions. Case in point, his interview with GloRilla in the midst of her come-up. The media personality asked GloRilla to confirm that she once spent three years in jail for stealing cereal at K-Mart. Marco pressed Glo about the apparent time she served, especially due to the nature of the crime.

That clip, in particular, continued to circulate around the Internet, though there hasn’t been any court documents to corroborate these claims. However, fans still think that GloRilla did a three-year sentence prior to the fame over stolen Frosted Flakes. The clip pops up every once in a while. Still, GloRilla is fed up with having to address these rumors. She recently took to Twitter where she clarified her claims while bashing gullible folks on the Internet who feel as though she really did time for a petty crime.

GloRilla Addresses Prison Time

The “F.N.F” rapper dished out a pair of tweets where she finally set the record straight on the interview. “You hoes really sat y’all ass up there & believed I went to jail for 3 years for stealing cereal & dats why you hoes hearts be in y’all ass today because y’all believe whatever a n***a 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 tell you.” It’s certainly some harsh commentary but she’s evidently fed up with the jokes.

In related news, GloRilla recently came through with the extended edition of her 2022 debut, Anyways… Life’s Great. The new project includes four new song on the tracklist, along with some solid features. Artists like Lil Durk and Trina appear on the re-release, as well as NikiPooh who joins Glo and Gloss Up on “Get That Money.” Hopefully, we’ll see an official album from the Memphis star in the near future. Given that she dominated summer 2022, we expect the same from her this year.
