LiAngelo Ball, a name known in the basketball world for his run with the Los Angeles Lakers and the infamous Ball family antics, has pivoted in a major way. The youngest of the Ball brothers is stepping away from the hardwood and into the spotlight of the music industry. That's right — LiAngelo Ball has inked a $1.3 million record deal with none other than the legendary Def Jam Recordings.
LiAngelo’s rise in the music scene might seem sudden, but for those who’ve been paying attention, it’s clear that his journey was always about more than just basketball. While his siblings, LaMelo and Lonzo, became household names for their hoops skills, LiAngelo’s been low-key about his passion for music. His viral track “Tweaker” has turned heads, catching the attention of hip-hop moguls and music industry execs who saw potential in the young talent.
Now, with Def Jam behind him, he’s ready to make his mark, following in the footsteps of legends like Jay-Z, Kanye, and Biggie. “Tweaker,” his debut single, not only got him a deal but is a statement of intent — this isn’t just a side hustle for LiAngelo; it’s a career move.
What’s even more impressive is how LiAngelo’s rise in music mirrors the modern artist’s path: viral success. He posted “Tweaker” on platforms like TikTok, where it went viral, picking up traction and sparking the interest of both fans and industry professionals. It’s a new-age hustle — making noise on social media before even stepping foot in the studio.
The deal is a major win for LiAngelo, but also a signal of the changing tides in the music industry. More and more, it’s about building a buzz before the label even gets involved. And with Def Jam in his corner, you can bet that LiAngelo Ball’s about to make waves — in ways no one could have predicted.
What’s Next for LiAngelo Ball?
LiAngelo’s journey is far from over. With the $1.3 million deal now locked in, expect a new wave of music, collaborations, and maybe even a full album soon. The Ball family has always been about breaking boundaries, and LiAngelo’s venture into the music world is no different. He’s not just following in anyone’s footsteps — he’s carving his own lane, and with Def Jam, he's ready to put his stamp on the game.
