GloRilla open to Angel Reese setting her up with athletes amid Damian Lillard rumors: "Ain't got no specific type"
The conversation around Damian Lillard potentially dating rapper GloRilla is getting stronger every day. On Milwaukee Bucks Media Day, when a reporter asked Lillard about GloRilla showing interest in her, the Bucks star couldn't stop blushing. Now, GloRilla is again giving more clarity in light of the potential dating rumor with the NBA star.
The American rapper appeared on the latest episode of WNBA star Angel Reese's podcast, "Unapologetically Angel." Reese didn't beat around the bush and asked if the rapper would be open to dating an athlete, and GloRilla's response was very positive.
[6:04] "uYou like them hood? Would you mess with the athlete?" Reese asked.
The "Glorious" singer said that she has no specific type when it comes to dating.
"You know I really ain't got no specific type," GloRilla said.
However, when Reese said that she had some guys in her contact and they were athletes, the rapper told the WNBA star to send them to her:
"I got some for you. They athletes though," Reese said.
"They athletes? Send them to me," GloRilla replied.
It is since the 2024 NBA All-Star game that the American singer being interested in dating Lillard started floating in the media. She had posted a picture of her and Damian Lillard on X, formerly known as "Twitter," and made her intentions clear in those since-deleted posts.
“Who n–a dis is? Cause I want him #GetEmGlo,” she wrote.
“Whoever she is can’t whoop me so I really dgaf," she wrote in her following tweet.
She also made some cryptic comments when she was on Shannon Sharpe's "Club Shay Shay" podcast, when Sharpe confronted her about her intentions regarding dating Damian Lillard.
Damian Lillard tackles questions surrounding him potentially dating GloRilla
On the Bucks' Media Day, Damian Lillard was posed with an unusual question. After being publicly flirted by the American rapper on social media, the reporter asked about the Bucks' star opinion on GloRilla, showing her interest in him.
Before Lillard could even answer the question, he couldn't stop smiling and blushing. It was clear that the question was amusing for the Bucks player. However, after a long pause, he gave his reply without addressing the question.
"I am weak," Damian Lillard said. "That is hilarious.
"Nah, I keep my personal life personal, you know? And I let it be that. I respect her as an artist,” he replied. “We know each other, she’s an artist, I’m an artist. But as far as anything else, it ain’t nothing going on. That’s what I can tell you.”"
Clearly, Lillard was flattered by GloRilla's publicly flirting with him. However, he also added later that he has always kept a low profile when it comes to his personal life and that nothing was going on between them.
While there is no indication in the media that they are even seeing each other, Damian Lillard and GloRilla have more than one reason to connect. She has expressed her interest in dating an athlete and they share a common passion for music.
Given how both the rapper and the athlete have responded, the public interest in their potential romantic relationship is not dying anytime soon.
