LiAngelo Ball, widely known for his basketball career, is making waves in the music world with his debut single Tweaker. Released on the first Friday of 2025, the track has quickly gone viral, becoming a locker room anthem across the nation. With its hard-hitting beats and electrifying delivery, Tweaker has even caught the attention of hip-hop heavyweights like DJ Paul, who praised Ball’s energy.
What’s more surprising is the growing list of established artists eager to collaborate with LiAngelo. Within days of the song’s release, rappers Boosie Badazz and MoneyBagg Yo publicly expressed interest in contributing to a potential Tweaker remix.
Boosie Badazz and MoneyBagg Yo Want In
Boosie Badazz was the first to reach out, tagging LiAngelo on Twitter with a straightforward request: “Send da verse!” Not far behind, MoneyBagg Yo followed up with his own tweet, writing, “Send me da open verse. Ima tweak.” Both artists are known for jumping on remixes, and their enthusiasm highlights just how much buzz Tweaker has generated.
However, fans may need to wait to see these collaborations come to life. According to LiAngelo’s older brother Lonzo Ball, a follow-up single is already scheduled for release on January 10.
LiAngelo Ball’s Next Move
Lonzo helped build anticipation for his brother’s second single by sharing a preview clip from the Chicago Bulls locker room, where the team was vibing to an unreleased track. “This ain’t out yet,” Lonzo tweeted, adding, “Friday he feeding the culture!” The Ball family’s marketing prowess has been instrumental in turning LiAngelo’s rap debut into a cultural moment.
Depending on the success of the upcoming single, LiAngelo might eventually invite Boosie and MoneyBagg Yo—or even bigger names like Lil Yachty and T-Pain, who have already co-signed his music—into the fold.
Performing at Rolling Loud California
LiAngelo’s rapid rise in music has also landed him a spot at Rolling Loud California in March. He’s set to perform on the Saturday lineup alongside big names like A$AP Rocky, Ski Mask the Slump God, and Sexyy Red. This marks the athlete-turned-rapper’s first major performance, and it will be a key moment in determining whether his rap career has staying power.
From Hoops to Hip-Hop
Tweaker has proven that LiAngelo Ball isn’t just living in the shadow of his basketball-playing brothers, Lonzo and LaMelo. Instead, he’s carving out his own unique path in the entertainment world. While it’s too early to say how long the Tweaker phenomenon will last, LiAngelo’s crossover into music is already off to an impressive start.
Whether he continues to dominate the rap scene or balances music with basketball, one thing is certain: LiAngelo Ball is feeding the culture, and fans are here for it.
