The Toronto Raptors have long been associated with Drake, but the team might have a new favourite rapper next season.
Raptors star Brandon Ingram was seen getting close with Grammy-winning rapper GloRilla while partying in Mexico over the weekend.
In video first shared by TMZ, Ingram — who was acquired mid-season by the Raptors but didn’t play for the team due to an ankle injury — was seen in a video taken at a club in Cabo San Lucas with the Yeah Glo! hitmaker hanging off his neck in a private room.
In the footage, Ingram and GloRilla were spotted walking into a private area of the club and later she was spotted wrapping her arms around the neck of the 6-foot-8 forward in an apparently sensual manner.
According to the outlet, the two partied until roughly 3 a.m. Monday morning and left together holding hands.
GloRilla reportedly was celebrating her 26th birthday on Sunday night and had taken up an entire section of Balam nightclub with her crew before cozying up with Ingram.
Several clubgoers reportedly attempted to record the duo, but security personnel did their best to stop them.
Ingram might’ve been harbouring a crush on the rap star for a while.
In clip from a game late last year while he was still a member of the New Orleans Pelicans, Ingram appeared to get teased by teammate Zion Williamson for staring at GloRilla during a game.
GloRilla recently had been in the news after being hit with felony drug charges following a break-in at her house.
The rapper was performing at the WNBA All-Star Game in Indianapolis when the robbery reportedly occurred and marijuana allegedly was found.
According to TMZ, she was arrested in Georgia for possession of a controlled substance and possession of marijuana over one ounce.
As for Ingram, he’ll be looking to get into his first action as a member of the Raptors this fall after being acquired from the Pelicans in February and signing a three-year, (US)$120-million extension.
