Former basketball player LiAngelo Ball, now performing under the name G3, has made a splash in the music world with his latest single, Tweaker. Released on WorldStarHipHop and streaming platforms, the track has amassed nearly 4 million YouTube views, drawing praise for its nostalgic early 2000s vibe. Fans have even called for a Nelly collaboration, further fueling the song’s popularity.
The buzz extends beyond fans, as NBA players, including Ball’s brother Lonzo, have been spotted enjoying the track in locker rooms. Lonzo shared his excitement on social media, writing, “Been tryna tell yall @LiAngeloBall really like that More to come! #StayTuned.” Teams like the Chicago Bulls and Brooklyn Nets have incorporated the song’s lyrics into their social media content, and a viral clip shows a reporter quoting the track during a broadcast.
In a significant milestone for his burgeoning music career, Rolling Loud announced that Ball will perform at its Los Angeles festival in March, marking his debut on a major stage.
Before his music career took off, Ball played in the G League for the Greensboro Swarm and had brief preseason appearances with the Detroit Pistons and Charlotte Hornets. His brothers, Lonzo and LaMelo, remain active in the NBA, playing for the Bulls and Hornets, respectively.
Off the court, Ball’s personal life is also making headlines. He and his partner Nikki Mudarris, a former Love and Hip Hop: Hollywood star, welcomed their first child in 2023 and recently announced they are expecting another.
