“Whoever she is, can’t whoop me, so I really dgaf,” unapologetically said GloRilla, the rap sensation, expressing her strong emotions, following her love declaration for Damian Lillard. The star guard has had a tough personal life over the last year as he parted ways with his ex-wife, Kay’la Hanson. However, soon after the separation, the media linked him to the 25-year-old rapper, causing an online rivalry between Kay’la and GloRilla. Nevertheless, before things could get any ugly, Lillard made an important update to the public.

Everything started during the 2024 All-Star game at Indianapolis. The 34-year-old had an impressive night, winning the All-Star MVP in the high-scoring game, dropping 39 points. Following the game, GloRilla posted a picture with Dame along with the trophy on her X, with a cheeky caption, that read, “Who n***a dis? Cause I want him #GetEmGlo.” Probably, this could have touched the wrong nerve in Kay’la, as she began her rebuttal.

However, before we know more about Kay’la’s reaction, it’s important to know whether the baller actually dates the rapper. Following the All-Star incident, GloRilla didn’t slow down, as she continued to shoot her shot at the Milwaukee Bucks guard. She took it a step further and made a custom jersey with the name ‘GloLillard’ on the back along with #0, and revealed it to the public. In the meantime, TMZ, which pursued the baller for answers, received only, “No comments,” in return.

Nevertheless, Damian Lillard chose to reveal the truth at the Bucks Media Day. While we expect only basketball questions on such press conferences, a reporter threw a curve ball. Surprisingly, the star instantly blushed and said, “I’m weak, that is hilarious.” And following that, he said, “I keep my personal life personal, you know. I let it be that. I respect her as an artist. We know each other. She’s an artist I’m an artist. but as far as anything else, it ain’t nothin’ goin’ on. That’s what I can tell you.” Importantly, with Lillard clearing the air, Kay’la might back down from her online rivalry with the rapper.

Damian Lillard’s ex-wife Kay’la’s rebuttal

The Bucks guard and Kay’la had been together since their college. Speaking of her, Dame once said, “When we were in college she took care of me… Kay’La accepted me with all my flaws as a young man.” However, things did really take a turn in the following years. The couple got engaged in 2020 and exchanged vows in 2021. In the meantime, they gave birth to three kids which included a twin. But, things didn’t remain the same for long, as they called off their wedding in 2023, citing an “Irremediable breakdown of their marriage.”

However, Kay’la once took a direct shot at the rapper when Gloria Hallelujah Woods A. K. A GloRilla got arrested for allegedly driving under the influence. Kay’la took the mugshot of GloRilla’s arrest and shared it on her IG story, writing, “FreeGloLillard,” with a laughing emoji and also added, “#sisterwife”. Now that Lillard has made it clear, the situation is now swept under the rug. Do you think it will open up again in the days to come? Let us know.
