LiAngelo Ball's rapping career takes off
LiAngelo Ball, the older brother of the Charlotte Hornets' LaMelo Ball and the younger brother of the Chicago Bulls' Lonzo Ball, took different path to his brothers and became a rapper. He is known as G3 and dropped a new song titled "Tweaker" last Friday.
According to reports, "Tweaker" is the top trending song on YouTube, ahead of other mega artists like Bad Bunny and Drake and garnered more than 3 million views on YouTube.
Despite "Tweaker" only being released for a few days, many athletes are digging G3's work. According to reports, the Chicago Bulls and Cleveland Cavaliers also played G3's song.
Ball started out as a high school basketball star representing Chino Hills. However, his stint with UCLA turned out to be underwhelming, which led to NBA teams shying away from recruiting LiAngelo. While he had brief stints with the Detroit Pistons and Charlotte Hornets, he did not play a single NBA game. He last turned out for Astros de Jalisco in Mexico.
