As a member of the notorious Ball Family and a former NBA player, G3 (better known as LiAngelo “Gelo” Ball) is used to receiving criticism. However, following the success of his latest single, “ Tweaker ,” things have only intensified.

We’re not sure what was the most surprising part of Saturday in the NFL, the upset of the Detroit Lions who were yesterday’s favorites prior to losing 45-31 against the Washingon Commanders, or LiAngelo “Gelo” Ball’s live performance of his viral song “Tweaker.

LiAngelo Ball has signed a deal with Def Jam and Universal Music Group, a representative from his label Born2Ball Music Group says. Sources said the deal is worth as much as $13 million, with $8 million guaranteed, and gives Ball full ownership of music and his own record label.

The Lions and Commanders put together the highest-scoring quarter in playoff history right after Gelo, the basketball player-turned-rapper, performed. Coincidence?

“Tweaker” began going viral before it was properly released on streaming services Friday (Jan. 3), thanks to a clip of LiAngelo playing the song for streamer Neon. As of press time, the song has almost 4 million hits on WorldStarHipHop’s YouTube page, and Lonzo Ball is still credited as a songwriter on the Apple Music app.

LiAngelo Ball’s “Tweaker” song is taking over sports. In case you’re unfamiliar with his game, Gelo, who now raps under the name G3, dropped his new track just days ago, and it’s got everyone feeling like they’re about to take over for the ’99 and the 2000s.

LiAngelo Ball, the rapper and brother of NBA players LaMelo and Lonzo, performed during a break in the action Saturday night at Ford Field.

The performance was a departure from the normal proceedings of a Lions game at Ford Field, and the team's performance was also uncharacteristic.
