Default look, another brake problem

so i was on my way home and the front right brake was rubbing, pulling the wheel to the right, and once i stop had a bunch of smoke come pouring out. im not sure what why this just randomly happend, but i was hoping someone had a clue to what could be my problem

Could be a stuck/sticking right caliper, or a rotten rubber brake hose on that corner breaking down internally and restricting flow of brake fluid back to the master cylinder.

ol blue got it right, could be either of those things. or you could be driving with your foot on the brake lol. Jack up that wheel, take wheel off, and see how easy you can spin rotor by hand or witha screw driver, then crack the bleeder loose on caliper and see i it gets easier to spin, if its easier, then its a hose, if it doesn't change then it is a caliper/and or sticking sliders.
