LiAngelo Ball Makes Waves in Music as He Joins Rolling Loud Festival
LiAngelo Ball, a former NBA prospect, is gaining attention in the music industry following the success of his track 'Tweaker.' After the song went viral, he has been announced as a performer at the renowned Rolling Loud festival in Los Angeles, scheduled for March 15-16, 2025. Ball is set to take the stage as part of the Saturday lineup, generating excitement among fans.
The popularity of Ball's song extends beyond music, with notable sports teams embracing the track. Both the Chicago Bulls and Cleveland Cavaliers were reportedly heard playing 'Tweaker' in their locker rooms, which highlights its crossover appeal in the sports community. Additionally, South Carolina women's basketball head coach Dawn Staley showcased her enthusiasm by posting a video on Instagram, where she and her players were seen dancing to the song. Staley enthusiastically encouraged Ball, stating, 'Hey Gelo! You got something there Gelo! You got something there.'
The momentum for Ball's song continued to build, as the Detroit Lions celebrated clinching the No. 1 seed in the NFC playoffs with a victory over the Minnesota Vikings, and they were seen enjoying 'Tweaker' in their postgame celebrations. As of now, the track is trending as the No. 1 song on YouTube Music, boasting nearly 3.9 million views, alongside an impressive 1.32 million streams on Spotify within its first day of release. While Ball has previously played in the NBA G League and briefly in Mexico with Astros de Jalisco, his burgeoning music career suggests he may be focusing on this new path rather than a return to professional basketball.
