Rapper GloRilla and NBA player Brandon Ingram appeared to hard launch their relationship on Sunday (Oct. 27) after they were seen sharing a kiss courtside following the Toronto Raptors’ game against the hosting Dallas Mavericks at American Airlines Center.
As seen via photos and videos shared online, the moment occurred shortly after the final buzzer of the matchup, which ended in a 139–129 win for Dallas.

He captioned the post, “A lot of s**t done changed,” while GloRilla responded in the comments with heart-eye emojis.
