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.

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 former NBA player has one of the hottest songs in the country and reportedly just signed a deal with Def Jam

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

LiAngelo Ball surprised fans with the performance of his popular single, "Tweaker" at the Commanders and Lions game Saturday.

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

Lions danced to the viral hit song "Tweaker" after a win in Week 18. Gelo Ball performed it live at Ford Field during the next game in the playoffs.

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