Wondering why GloRilla’s birthday bash in Cabo has everyone talking? The rapper rang in her 26th with a surprise appearance by NBA star Brandon Ingram, and the two quickly grabbed attention with their late-night chemistry on the dance floor.
Here’s what really happened when GloRilla and Ingram got close at Balam nightclub and why fans think they might be more than friends.
Are GloRilla and Brandon Ingram dating?
GloRilla and NBA star Brandon Ingram sparked dating rumors after they appeared together during her 26th birthday celebration in Cabo, Mexico.
TMZ obtained footage showing the rapper and the Toronto Raptors forward dancing closely at Balam nightclub on Sunday, July 27, 2025. Eyewitnesses said GloRilla wrapped her arms around Ingram’s neck while they moved together on the dance floor.
By 3:00 a.m., they left the venue hand-in-hand. Although security tried to block fan recordings, several clips of the pair still made it online, intensifying speculation about a potential relationship. Neither GloRilla nor Ingram has publicly addressed their status.
Ingram joined the Toronto Raptors recently and is recovering from an ankle injury while preparing for the upcoming NBA season. He appeared at the nightclub during the offseason as he continues his rehab and personal training.
Police arrested GloRilla, born Gloria Hallelujah Woods, on July 22, 2025, for alleged felony drug possession. The arrest followed a burglary attempt at her Georgia home while she was away performing at the 2025 WNBA All-Star Game. Authorities reportedly found marijuana and a controlled substance at the scene. GloRilla addressed the situation on X, writing, “My house got home invaded Saturday… and instead of focusing on finding the suspects, they focus on some cannabis.”
Previously, GloRilla denied dating Damian Lillard after speculation circulated in 2024. Lillard clarified in a press conference, “We know each other, she’s an artist, I’m an artist. But as far as anything else, it ain’t nothing going on” (via Billboard). That same year, GloRilla posted, “Single & celibate until God send me my husband,” on X.
As of now, neither she nor Ingram has confirmed the status of their relationship.
