🎉 GloRilla Gets Cozy with Brandon Ingram on Her Birthday — Just Days After Arrest
Rising rap star GloRilla (real name Gloria Hallelujah Woods) made headlines again — but this time, it wasn’t just for her music or legal trouble. The 26-year-old rapper was seen getting close to NBA player Brandon Ingram while celebrating her birthday weekend in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.
According to exclusive video obtained by TMZ, GloRilla and the 27-year-old New Orleans Pelicans forward were vibing closely at Balam nightclub. With arms wrapped around each other, the duo danced, whispered, and even reportedly left the venue hand-in-hand around 3:00 a.m..
🕶️ Romance or Just Birthday Fun?
The cozy display has sparked dating rumors all over social media. Fans are buzzing: is this a new power couple alert, or simply two stars having a good time?
This isn’t GloRilla’s first brush with NBA romance rumors. Last year, she was linked to Milwaukee Bucks star and part-time rapper Damian Lillard, but he quickly shut down the gossip. “That is hilarious,” Lillard told reporters at the time. “We know each other, but it ain’t nothing going on.”
Still, the Brandon Ingram sighting has everyone asking: could this be the real thing?
🛑 The Arrest That Shook Fans
GloRilla’s birthday buzz follows a more serious incident just days earlier — her arrest for alleged felony drug possession.
According to the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office, the rapper turned herself in on July 22, following a burglary attempt at her Georgia home two days prior. While GloRilla was performing at the WNBA All-Star Game in Indianapolis, someone reportedly broke into her house.
But instead of focusing on finding the suspects, authorities allegedly found marijuana and a controlled substance at the scene — and arrested her instead.
GloRilla spoke out on social media, expressing frustration and disbelief:
“CRAZY [!!] My house got home invaded Saturday while I was in Indianapolis performing… Instead of focusing on finding the suspects, they focus on some cannabis,” she tweeted.
“Long story short, my house gets home invaded and I’m the only one that gets arrested. So that’s tea 🤷🏼♀️.”
✨ From “Single & Celibate” to Spotted with Ingram?
What really caught fans off guard is how quickly the vibe shifted. Just a few months ago, GloRilla declared in a now-viral X post:
“Single & celibate until God send me my husband.”
Now, only weeks later, she’s trending alongside Brandon Ingram with speculation about a blossoming romance.
Whether this is love, a fling, or just birthday energy, fans can’t get enough.
🧨 Fans React Online
Social media exploded with reactions:
-
“From jail to Cabo with an NBA player? GloRilla living life like a movie.”
-
“Is Brandon Ingram her husband from God? 👀”
-
“I love a good rebound story, she deserves happiness after that drama.”

Many fans are showing support, cheering GloRilla on for keeping her spirits high despite legal troubles. Others are simply enjoying the gossip storm swirling around this unexpected pairing.
🧠 What’s Next for GloRilla?
While her romantic life may be heating up, GloRilla has big things on the horizon musically. With her breakout success from tracks like “Yeah Glo!” and “TGIF,” plus a loyal fanbase and growing influence in hip-hop, she’s proving she’s more than just headlines.
Still, her recent arrest may lead to legal consequences depending on how the investigation plays out. At the time of writing, her legal team has not released a formal statement beyond her tweets.

From potential new love to legal battles, GloRilla’s 26th birthday is turning into a rollercoaster of headlines, speculation, and support. Whether or not she and Brandon Ingram are officially dating, one thing’s for sure — GloRilla knows how to stay in the spotlight.
