Lonzo Ball Clears the Air About His Role in LiAngelo Ball’s Viral Song “Tweaker”
LiAngelo Ball’s latest track, Tweaker, has taken the internet by storm, amassing over 4 million views on YouTube just days after its release on January 3. However, some confusion arose regarding Lonzo Ball’s contribution to the song, as the track credits him as both a writer and a vocal contributor.
On Monday (January 6), Lonzo clarified his involvement via a post on X (formerly Twitter): “Only credit I deserve is the cover art lol. G really that! #YearOfG.” With this statement, Lonzo distanced himself from any major role in the track’s creation, emphasizing that the spotlight should remain on his younger brother.
Speculations on the Credits
Lonzo’s statement has sparked debates among fans. Some believe LiAngelo may have credited his older brother out of admiration or to share royalties, while others think the listing could simply be an error. Regardless, Lonzo seems determined to let LiAngelo shine on his own terms.
The Rise of “Tweaker”
Tweaker has been praised for its nostalgic sound, with many comparing it to tracks from the No Limit Records era. The song first gained traction online after LiAngelo previewed it on Neon’s stream, sparking anticipation for its official release.
LiAngelo Ball vs. Cam’ron
While Tweaker cements LiAngelo’s presence in music, he’s also been navigating criticism in other arenas. Last year, Dipset rapper-turned-sports analyst Cam’ron mocked LiAngelo for his basketball career, implying he wasn’t as successful as his brothers Lonzo and LaMelo.
LiAngelo fired back on his podcast What an Experience, co-hosted with Lonzo, addressing Cam’ron directly: “‘Suck It Or Not’ with Lil Wayne, that’s all I remember from you. You don’t know my story… I’m out here hooping.”
Cam’ron responded by questioning LiAngelo’s relevance, suggesting he only gained fame through his father LaVar Ball’s marketing. He also referenced LiAngelo’s 2017 shoplifting incident in China, adding fuel to their ongoing feud.
Lonzo Ball’s Response to the Drama
While LiAngelo has been vocal about defending his reputation, Lonzo has kept his focus on supporting his brother’s musical ventures. Lonzo, currently rehabilitating an injury, has even dabbled in music himself, releasing freestyles over classic beats.
Despite the controversies and speculation, Tweaker stands as a testament to LiAngelo Ball’s growing influence outside basketball. As the song continues to gain traction, it’s clear that the Ball brothers are making their mark in both sports and entertainment—each in their own unique way.
