Former NBA G League player LiAngelo Ball is set to perform his viral hit song "Tweaker" at Rolling Loud in Los Angeles, California, in March. LiAngelo released it under his G3 moniker on WorldStarHipHop on YouTube on Friday. It has garnered over four million views and received praise from fans.
In a post on Instagram stories, the second Ball brother shared his reaction to being announced as a part of the Rolling Loud lineup of performers. He's likely to perform "Tweaker," which has been trending over the weekend, especially after many NBA locker rooms were heard playing it.
"It's up," LiAngelo wrote.

According to the schedule and lineup released by Rolling Round, LiAngelo Ball will perform on the first day on March 15. The day is headlined by A$AP Rocky, while other artists on the lineup include YG, Sexxy Red, Larry June, Cash Cobain and many more.
Before launching a music career, LiAngelo played pro basketball in his father's JFA League after a short stint in the Lithuanian league. He then declared for the 2018 NBA Draft but wasn't selected. He signed with the Charlotte Hornets three years later.
LiAngelo was unable to play with his younger brother LaMelo Ball, spending two years in the Hornets' G-League affiliate. He played for the Astros de Jalisco in Mexico for two games before a ligament injury forced him to return to the United States.
While he's not officially retired from basketball, it will be interesting to see if LiAngelo Ball's music career takes off and he makes it his full-time job. His father LaVar Ball predicted big things for his three sons, with Lonzo and LaMelo being in the NBA.
Maybe he's talking about a different profession for LiAngelo, who's trying to make it big in the music industry.
Lonzo Ball clarifies his contribution to LiAngelo Ball's viral hit
Lonzo Ball has been credited as one of the writers for his brother LiAngelo Ball's viral song "Tweaker." Lonzo clarified on X, formerly known as Twitter, that he doesn't need to be credited for the song but acknowledged that he was responsible for the cover artwork.
"Only credit I deserve is the cover art lol G really that! #YearOfG," Lonzo tweeted.
Maybe Lonzo could also get some credit for helping it go viral, as they were bopping to "Tweaker" inside the Chicago Bulls locker room before its official release.
Things are looking up for LiAngelo's rap career, with another single likely on the way already. "Tweaker" has been praised by fans, as well as other rappers like Lil Yachty, Meek Mill and T-Pain, as reported by Billboard.
