GloRilla may have found herself a baller ... she and NBA star Brandon Ingram were seen getting close at a Cabo nightclub -- and left together in the wee hours of the morning.

In new footage -- obtained by TMZ -- the rapper is seen all over the Toronto Raptor ... wrapping her arms around his neck as they swayed together on the dance floor early Monday morning.

We're told GloRilla was celebrating her birthday -- which is today -- at a nightclub called Balam ... and an eyewitness tells us when she and her crew took over an entire section as soon as they arrived.

There are more than a few celebs who just can't get enough of the cameras ... and this rap duo's a pair of real crowd-pleasers!

With the BIG3's $5 million offer to Caitlin Clark never coming to fruition ... could a lucrative Angel Reese proposal be up next for the hoops league?

GloRilla is cashing in on her recent stay in jail -- she's selling T-shirts with her mugshot printed on them!

Check it out -- the black tees can be purchased from her official store for $40 a pop -- plus, she had them out at her "GloRilla's Glo Bash" concert Friday night!

The show was held at the FedEx Forum in Memphis -- her hometown -- and a photo shared online shows the mugshot tees hanging up right alongside her normal merch.

Fans are scratching their heads after Sean "Diddy" Combs seemingly posted -- and then quickly deleted -- an eye emoji on X Friday evening.

It's been a while since the disgraced music mogul shared anything on Elon Musk's social media site ... so fans can't quite understand why he'd post such a random message, just to scratch it from existence.

Some fans hypothesized he's teasing new music ... while others claimed he's hinting at some personal knowledge of the federal government's recent meeting with  Ghislaine Maxwell -- during which her lawyer says she named 100 people linked to Jeffrey Epstein.

Summer's not over until Uncle Charlie Wilson says it's over -- the R&B emeritus is hitting the road in August with Babyface, El DeBarge and K-Ci Hailey of Jodeci -- everyone's invited ... 'cept the devil!!!

Long Beach, California rapper Trapboy JT found the perfect way to shoot new content and save his coins from well, trappin' ... by shooting a music video right inside an IKEA store!!!

On Friday, Trapboy JT dropped his new single "Out The Matrix" on WorldstarHipHop -- using plenty of backdrop scenes behind IKEA's wide array of kitchen appliances -- a moment that doesn't seem to be completely authorized ... more so tolerated?

Trapboy JT tells TMZ Hip Hop his team shot the video at an IKEA location in Carson, a city in the South Bay of Los Angeles County ... his team spent about 45 minutes in the store!!!

His confidence to bring babies into Donald Trump's America stood tall on the rowdy "XXX" where he salutes his homie in the White House ... "Mama, I say my president, no Biden The lean got me, I'm in autopilot / The police watchin', but they ain't gon' stop me / Make America Slimy Again / Whatever Trump doing, b*tch, it's good for the youngins / SEX AND VIOLENCE!!!"

Samara Cyn's one of the hottest young rappers and a part of XXL's magazine's 2025 Freshman class, and she's already setting her career goal cap -- to the very end!!!

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with Samara at LAX this week -- fresh off her appearance on the newly revamped "The Daily Show" ... and our cameraman Charlie Cotton firmly feels she's on her way to the top!!!

Andre was best known for singing the hook on Kurupt and DJ Battlecat's West Coast hip hop anthem "We Can Freak It" from 1998 -- Charlie tells us he was a "gifted" artist who could both sing and write music.

Adam Sandler is officially back on the green after "Happy Gilmore 2" dropped on Friday ... and, while many actors from the first flick are back, the new faces in the cast -- like Eminem -- are doing their best to capture the vibe of the 1996 classic.

We now know the extent of Em's cameo -- Sandler confirmed he'd appear in the film way back in December -- and, the rap legend plays the son of a memorable character from the first movie.

Since the movie came out mere hours ago, this article is obviously full of SPOILERS ... keep reading at your own risk.

Malcolm-Jamal Warner's life left a profound impact on those around him -- something "The Breakfast Club" can attest to ... the late 'Cosby Show' actor was their current studio's first guest!!!

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with Charlamagne Tha God and Jess Hilarious in the wake of the sad aftermath ... MJW's body was returned to Los Angeles this week after he drowned while on a family vacation in Costa Rica.

Charlamagne and Jess agree "The Cosby Show" was an important part of African-Americans' upbringings ... but they echo the fact that "Theo Huxtable" was a fictional character and MJW had real-life messages about his actual family, brotherhood and positivity.

Jeezy boasted about giving back to his "Hood" on his classic debut album "Let's Get It: Thug Motivation 101" -- a motto he's still living by 20 years later!!!

Drake is all set to fire the gun on long-rumored 9th studio album "Iceman" tonight -- confirmed by Drizzy himself on Instagram!!!

In an IG post with a graphic that said "9PM," Drake clarified the project would be released Eastern Standard Time tonight (BTW, we're on Daylight Saving Time right now, not Standard ... just sayin').

Drake has been dropping Easter Eggs that "Iceman" would be a cold album through photos of iced-out jewelry as well as NBA HOF'er George Gervin and UFC legend Chuck Liddell, both of whom carved out legendary careers under the "Iceman" nickname.

Iceman is also an OG member of the X-Men within the Marvel universe; a superhero known not to bite his tongue ... which Drake did not do on the album's first single, "What Did I Miss?" which hit No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 last week.

He's currently in Europe for his "$ome $pecial $hows 4 U" tour run alongside PARTYNEXTDOOR, but he clearly wants the world to hear some new tunes.

We broke the story of GloRilla being arrested in Georgia for felony drug possession earlier today, and her legal team is calling the charges a total outrage of justice -- the rapper wasn't even at home!!!

As we told you, GloRilla's house was broken into this weekend ... by the time cops arrived, the suspects were gone -- but investigators say they encountered weed in their search for the burglars, and the rapper was then charged with felony drug possession.

The Forsyth County Sheriff's Office tells TMZ ... deputies responded to a report of a burglary in progress Saturday around 1:30 AM at a residence in the Atlanta suburbs. The sheriff's office says three suspects entered the house when an "armed occupant fired at the intruders."

Cardi B is being sued for a case she was legally cleared of -- a point her attorney is reiterating as he slams the lawsuit!!!

Drew Findling tells TMZ Hip Hop ... The lawsuit against Cardi regarding the 2-year-old microphone incident is a transparent and pitiful attempt at a financial shakedown.

"The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department and the Clark County District Attorney’s Office closed this matter for insufficient evidence a long time ago, but apparently the opportunity to try to make money off of a celebrity was too much for some willing law firm to pass up."
