GloRilla did not take too kindly to her boyfriend, Brandon Ingram's, remarks about her over the weekend.
The Toronto Raptors star was asked by the media in a press conference about how he would prepare to be ready for Sunday's 1 p.m. game against the Cleveland Cavaliers, and Ingram name-dropped his girlfriend in a playful dig.
"Just try to go to bed extra early today,” he said, according to reporter Josh Lewenberg on X. “My girl is around, so she'll get on my nerves enough to where I just wanna go to sleep."
His playful joke didn't sit to well with the Grammy-nominated rapper as Ingram responded in the next pre-game conference,“She lit me up, I won’t make that comment again.”
While Ingram did not specifically share what Glo said to him, it's certain that no more comments of that nature will be heard again.
Ingram and Glo sparked romance rumors in July 2025 and have been inseparable since. The rapper has been courtside at several of his games over the past two seasons, and Ingram has been supportive of the rapper as well when she tried her hand at the sport during the 2026 Ruffles NBA All-Star Celebrity Game.
In a December 2025 interview with Complex, she revealed who made the first move.
“Him!” before quickly adding, “But that's it, that's all I'm gonna say!”
