Lonzo Ball makes his feelings clear on brother LiAngelo Ball's rapping after "Tweaker" track success: "He raps like how he hoops"

Before LiAngelo Ball evolved into one of the most talked about rappers in the nation, the California native was known as a highly rated basketball player. According to Chicago Bulls guard Lonzo Ball, LiAngelo's brother, the blossoming rapper approaches his music career in the same manner that he approached his basketball career.

In the latest episode of his podcast "What An Experience with Lonzo Ball," the NBA star spoke about LiAngelo Ball's hit track "Tweaker" and his creative process.

"He raps like how he hoops. He trying to get 30 every game," said Lonzo Ball. (6:55)

LiAngelo doesn't like to waste time and usually goes for the big swing when it comes to his music. Lonzo Ball revealed that his brother is ready to work when he gets into the studio and doesn't like distractions.

"When he comes to the booth, he really just wants to make whatever songs he's got on his phone," said Lonzo. "And don't p*ss him off. Cause he actually will walk out of the session. I've seen him do it before. Let him get out whatever he wants to get out, it's his art." (7:05)

LiAngelo Ball first teased his newest track "Tweaker" on a live stream with popular content creator N3on. The song was released on the "WorldstarHipHop" YouTube channel on Jan. 4 and has already racked up 9.7 million views. Shortly after its release, it was YouTube's No. 1 trending song for a period.

Following the success of "Tweaker," LiAngelo has become a household name in the hip-hop world. The viral track has also seen LiAngelo Ball sign a lucrative new record deal with Def Jam and Universal Music Group, which reportedly could be worth up to $13 million.
