"N3on paid GELO $250,000 to come on stream" - NBA fans erupt as LiAngelo Ball rants about unpaid collab with viral streamer

NBA fans reacted to LiAngelo Ball calling out streamer N3on for not paying him for their collaboration. Ball and N3on collaborated in December last year for a live stream, and it was during the car drive that his song "Tweaker" went viral.

In a video posted from the "What An Experience" podcast on X with his brother, Lonzo Ball, LiAngelo claimed that the streamer had paid him zero.

"Let me throw that out there. I got paid zero bro," LiAngelo Ball said.

The comment from LiAngelo Ball left some fans upset, and they called Ball out for being thankless. A fan even said that it should be LiAngelo instead who should pay N3on every time they meet because the latter helped him make his "Tweaker" song go viral.

"Didn’t he sign a record deal because of N3on and his clippers?" a fan wrote.

"he should be paying Neon every time he sees him if anything😭😭," another fan wrote.

"imagine having a ego towards someone who helped your first song go crazy 😭✌🏽," another fan wrote.

A fan called out LiAngelo for not showing love to N3on.

"Come on man, always show love to those who helped you win," the fan wrote.

A fan reposted a video of Ball playing his song on one of N3on's streams and claimed that he had paid Gelo $250,000.

"N3on payed GELO $250,000 to come on stream for the second time & left just after promoting his upcoming music," the fan wrote.

Meanwhile, some fans agreed with LiAngelo Ball that he should have gotten paid.

"Bro deserves the bag honestly, I don't blame him," the fan wrote.

"Y'all are giving Neon way too much credit. I heard that song on Worldstar. Not on Neon's stream. If I'm Gelo I'm charging regardless," the fan wrote.
