Rapper GloRilla and NBA player Brandon Ingram stepped out for a night of partying at Hyde nightclub in Los Angeles on Labor Day.
The Memphis rapper and NBA star made their first public appearance when GloRilla celebrated her birthday at a nightclub in Cabo, Mexico. Glo’ turned 26 on July 28.
The 6’8″ small forward for the Toronto Raptors was the second NBA star to go steady with a female rapper in July. Dallas Mavericks star Klay Thompson, 35, and rapper Megan Thee Stallion, 30, also went Instagram official.
Prior to Brandon, GloRilla dated Memphis rapper Yo Gotti, the owner of her record label, Collective Music Group. Their relationship was never confirmed.
GloRilla was arrested in Forsyth County, Georgia for marijuana possession after she returned from performing during halftime at the WNBA All-Star game in Indiana.
Deputies responding to a 911 call of a home break-in found 2 pounds of marijuana and 2 jars of THC wax in a closet in her master bedroom.
They called Drug Task Force agents who executed a search warrant and seized the drugs. GloRilla faces multiple felony drug charges that could send her to prison for a minimum of 5 years.
However, a Democrat state representative called for charges to be dropped against the rapper.
Rep. Eric Bell is promoting a bill to prevent crime victims from being arrested when calling police for help.
Rep. Bell said police were not at Glo’s house to search for drugs.
“No one, regardless of fame, background or zip code, should fear being criminalized for doing the right thing,” Bell said. “Unfortunately, stories like hers are not rare. Too often, victims of crime — especially Black victims — face the threat of arrest simply for seeking help from law enforcement.”
GloRilla’s attorneys also argued that her charges should be dropped because she is the victim of a burglary, not a suspect.
“Ms. Woods is a victim, not a suspect,” said attorneys Marissa Goldberg and Drew Findling. “This is our tax dollars at work, absolutely unbelievable.”
