Toronto Raptors' star Brandon Ingram was spotted getting cozy with Grammy-winning rapper GloRilla over the weekend. 

The 6-foot-8 NBA star, 27, and "Yeah Glo!" singer, 26, were first seen getting cozy at a nightclub in Cabo on Sunday night before leaving the bar together in the early hours of the morning on Monday.

In video footage obtained by "TMZ," GloRilla wrapped her arms around the 6-foot-8 Duke alumni's neck, as they swayed together to the music at Balam nightclub. 

According to club patrons, GloRilla and her crew took up an entire section of the bar before she cozied up to the NBA star. 

They pair left the club holding hands around 3 a.m., according to the outlet. 

They were reportedly celebrating GloRilla's birthday. 

Several clubgoers attempted to record the duo cozying up together, which security tried to stop. 

However, clips of the NBA star's night out with the rapper quickly went viral online, and fans quickly flooded social media with comments on the surprise pairing. 

"Glorilla dating Brandon Ingram was not on my radar but I like it idk. Go head Glo," one person commented on X

"brandon ingram & glorilla just unintentionally popped out today," a second person wrote

"How cute," someone else added.

The outing comes several days after GloRilla was hit with felony drug charges, which stemmed from a break-in at her home where marijuana was allegedly found. 

The rapper was performing at the WNBA All-Star Game in Indianapolis when the robbery reportedly occurred. 

According to "TMZ," she was arrested in Georgia last week for possession of a controlled substance and possession of marijuana over one ounce last week.

At the same time, the Raptors' star has been nursing an ankle injury that forced him to sit out for part of the 2024-2025 season.

He's currently signed to a three-year, $120 million extension with the Raptors.
