GloRilla Sends Fans Into Meltdown With Intimate Dance With Brandon Ingram While Pushing New Single "Special"

Brandon Ingram’s girlfriend, hip-hop star GloRilla, dropped two singles on Friday. She introduced fans to her “MARCH” and “Special,” two of the multiple tracks she has released this year. While the former oozes with fight in the lyrics, the latter is gentle, almost pleading.

Gloria Hallelujah Woods in real life shared a dance number on her TikTok and Instagram accounts to hype up “Special.” She did her moves in front of the Toronto Raptors star, who watched her in silence.

Fans reacted to the viral clip:

"She couldn’t get Damian Lillard so settled for Brandon Ingram."

@KollegeKidd She going to be talking bad about this ni**a in 2026 watch lmao

Fans unsurprisingly dragged Damian Lillard in the reactions after GloRilla showed interest in the point guard in 2024. After meeting during the All-Star weekend, the artist tweeted that she “wanted” him. Lillard, in the middle of a divorce battle, denied any romantic relationship with her.

“Hot New HipHop” reported in December that GloRilla and Brandon Ingram started dating this summer. The two were first spotted together in Cabo when the “Hey Glo!” hitmaker celebrated her 26th birthday in July.

When the Raptors opened their 2025-26 season on Oct. 22 in Atlanta, GloRilla arrived wearing a chain with Ingram’s No. 3. The Raptors celebrated the 138-118 victory by featuring her and the jewelry on their social media pages. She is now a regular at courtside in Raptors games.

Early this month, via an interview with Complex, GloRilla said that she and Brandon Ingram preferred their relationship to be private. The dance number to hype up “Special” was one of the few instances she gave fans a glimpse of their relationship behind the public’s eye.

GloRilla opened up about meeting Brandon Ingram last year

GloRilla sat down with Complex early this month, a few days before she released “MARCH” and “Special.” She inevitably received questions about her relationship with Brandon Ingram. While she wanted to keep things private, she shared how they met:

“It’s been a year now. We met, like, Thanksgiving last year. I had went to a Memphis versus…that’s when he was playing for New Orleans. I had went to the game.”

When asked who made the first move, GloRilla quickly and emphatically responded:

“Him.”

The Pelicans played the Grizzlies in Memphis on Nov. 29 without Ingram, who dealt with a foot injury. Although Ingram did not play, traveling with the team gave him the opportunity to meet his future girlfriend.
