Here is why Lonzo Ball got a credit on LiAngelo Ball’s song Tweaker

Zo said he did NOT write the lyrics for Gelo.

In an unexpected twist of fate, former high school basketball star LiAngelo Ball has what is arguably the most popular song of 2025 so far.

LiAngelo, the older brother of Hornets guard LaMelo Ball and younger brother of Chicago Bulls guard Lonzo Ball, has inspired so many great memes with his catchy new track “Tweaker” as it has become a viral trend.

Lonzo was caught dancing to the song in the Bulls locker room as it has swept through the entire professional sports world. However, while he got a credit on the song, Lonzo wants everyone to know that all the love should go to LiAngelo.

According to Lonzo, the only credit he deserves is for the cover art.

Lonzo had his own music side project, releasing the album Born 2 Ball as Zo.

LiAngelo will perform at the hip-hop festival Rolling Loud in Los Angeles.

LiAngelo Ball’s song Tweaker inspired so many elite memes

So many people are swerving and bending corners.

LiAngelo Ball’s “Tweaker” song is taking over sports.

In case you’re unfamiliar with his game, Gelo, who now raps under the name G3, dropped his new track just days ago, and it’s got everyone feeling like they’re about to take over for the ’99 and the 2000s.

It’s got all the elements of a club banger, but it’s smooth enough to play in the car or be used for an unholy amount of TikToks. There’s a catchy phrase from “Tweaker’s” hook — I might swerve, bend that corner, whoah-whoah — that’s got so many people, well, hooked. Now, it’s become an instant meme. Here’s what we mean.

That was fantastic. Right? It’s tremendous stuff, really. And, now, it’s seemingly everywhere.

Here’s a roundup of some of the best we’ve found (Warning: NSW music):

And just in case you needed more proof that this song is officially a thing, it’s even being used for lyric challenges.

Well done, Gelo. Well done. You’ve got the whole world vibing.

LiAngelo Ball has a hit new song that has fans nostalgic for the early 2000s

Gelo might swerve, bend the corner, whoah-oh-oh.

Former high school basketball standout and Facebook reality show star LiAngelo Ball is not the first musician that I expected to write about in 2025.

LiAngelo, the older brother of Charlotte Hornets star LaMelo Ball and younger brother of Bulls guard Lonzo Ball, earned the coverage though.

While he had a great high school tenure his collegiate basketball career did not work out at UCLA. He had a few legitimate attempts with the Hornets in training camp and the G League, a brief look from the Pistons, and some flirtatious overtures from the Lakers.

But his basketball career never took off in the NBA, either. Fast forward a few years, though, and LiAngelo has made some waves in a different way. (Caution: The following song contains lyrics that might not be safe for work. It might also get you bopping your head, though.)

Now a musician who wraps under the name G3, his latest track “Tweaker” is legitimately good.

Already played in NBA locker rooms (including the Bulls and Cavs) as well as NFL locker rooms (including the Lions), this song has garnered more than 2.7 million listens on YouTube since it debuted on WorldStarHipHop.

It is the number one trending song on YouTube music (ahead of artists such as Tyler, The Creator as well as Lil Baby, Bad Bunny, and Drake).

There is a deeply nostalgic feeling to this track that is reminding many listeners of what hip-hop sounded like in the early 2000s, which is one of the reasons it is such an immediate hit.

Did Taylor Swift attend Travis Kelce’s game for Chiefs-Broncos on Sunday?

Did the 14-time Grammy winner make the trip to Denver?

The Kansas City Chiefs wrapped up the regular season on Sunday afternoon, and there was a question as to whether or not pop star Taylor Swift would make the trip to Denver to see boyfriend Travis Kelce take on the Broncos. The 14-time Grammy winner has not made any road appearances at Kelce’s NFL games this season as security in other venues can be difficult to deal with.

As it turns out, the The Tortured Poets Department singer is reportedly not in attendance in Denver on Sunday.

The Chiefs are locked into the top spot in the AFC, meaning they’ll have a bye to open the playoffs and then a home game. So, we may still see Swift at least one more time this season.

Caitlin Clark gushed about her Taylor Swift Eras Tour experience on the latest New Heights episode

The WNBA star even turned her mom into a Swiftie.

It was the episode we were all waiting for: WNBA Rookie of the Year Caitlin Clark on the New Heights podcast. Jason and Travis Kelce invited the Iowa superstar on for the first episode of 2025, chatting about the WNBA, the Kansas City Chiefs, potential marketing ideas for the NBA and more.

Of course, Taylor Swift also came up. Clark is a huge fan of the 14-time Grammy winner and girlfriend of Travis, and the trio talked about her trips to see the Eras Tour. The all-time NCAA points leader said she saw Swift’s mega popular concert three times, once in Minnesota and twice in her backyard in Indianapolis.

The Fever star even said she turned her mom into a full-fledged Swiftie.

Miss Beyoncé’s Ravens-Texans halftime show? It’s now on Netflix

Grab your cowboy boots. The Beyoncé Bowl is on Netflix.

The Beyoncé Bowl is finally on Netflix.

If you’re like me, you’ve been practically beside yourself since Beyoncé dropped that banger of a halftime performance during the Ravens-Texas Christmas day matchup. I still can’t get over how great the photos looked, how Blue Ivy killed it or how Kendrick Lamar has to follow THAT ahead of the Super Bowl.

But, if for some reason you missed Beyoncé putting other halftime performers to shame, the whole thing is now available on Netflix. That’s right. You get to watch the Houston native tear it up in her hometown as often as you like, and maybe you’ll catch some more hidden easter eggs that she snuck into her show.

Beyoncé’s Netflix halftime show had 4 hidden easter eggs, including Blue Ivy’s cameo

Beyoncé doesn’t just perform. She creates an EXPERIENCE.

In case you missed it, Mrs. Beyoncé Knowles-Carter nailed her halftime show during Netflix’s Raven-Texans Christmas Day game.

Thankfully, there were no buffering issues, which allowed fans to see a genuinely unforgettable performance from the Houston native. From the visuals to the choreography, it was everything. Beyoncé even invited several special guests, including her daughter, Blue Ivy Carter.

That’s sweet. Right? Well, it seems that wasn’t the only awesome moment from the show. There were a couple of hidden easter eggs that you may have missed, including when Blue Ivy technically appeared on camera.

Here are four hidden easter eggs in Beyoncé’s halftime performance:

1. Beyoncé’s daughter, Blue Ivy, was one of her lead dancers

You might have gotten excited about Blue Ivy magically appearing mid-performance next to her mom. But it turns out that she was already there moments before.

Here she is, casually killing it, right in the center of Beyoncé’s dancers.

2. Beyoncé used actual jeans for her Levii’s Jeans collab with Post Malone

Your eyes weren’t deceiving you. That was a truck covered in jeans when Post Malone appeared to sing Levii’s Jeans.

3. Beyoncé invited Arkansas’ first black Rodeo Queen to ride with her

On Wednesday, Ja’Dayia Kursh revealed a behind-the-scenes look at what riding in a car with Beyoncé is like. Why is that important?

In recent years, Kursh has made the news for challenging the perception of what most people know about cowgirls, including becoming Arkansas’ first black rodeo queen.

4. Beyoncé’s streak of using HBCU bands continued

Beyoncé often uses her shows to highlight and celebrate HBCU (historically black college or university) bands. Wednesday was no different.

This time, it was Texas Southern University’s “Ocean of Soul.”

Blue Ivy Carter joined Beyoncé for Texas Hold ‘Em during Ravens-Texans halftime show on Netflix

Blue Ivy Carter is already a star.

Beyoncé performed during halftime of the Baltimore Ravens and Houston Texans during a Netflix stream on Christmas Day.

It was an iconic performance from the musician who brought out several notable guests for the show. Her guests included Post Malone, Shaboozey, Tiera Kennedy, Tanner Adell, Brittney Spencer, and Reyna Roberts.

But with all due respect, none of them were quite as memorable as her daughter. Blue Ivy Carter also joined the show with her mother and she was nothing short of fantastic.

Already a natural performer even though she is just 12 years old, she did not look out of place despite dancing alongside someone who has remained one of the biggest stars in the world for nearly three decades.

We will be watching on repeat.

Beyoncé took to the field in Houston at halftime of the Christmas Day game between the Texans and Ravens and unsurprisingly stole the show.

It was a performance that easily would have been one of the — if not THE — best Super Bowl halftime show in the last decade, but instead we got it as a delightful regular season treat.

It was visually stunning and wholly epic, integrating live horses, marching bands, incredible backup singers, incredible choreography, Post Malone, her daughter Blue Ivy and a giant “BANG” banner into one amazing fifteen minute span.

The pressure is now on for Kendrick Lamar, who is scheduled to perform in this year’s Super Bowl halftime show.

If you missed it streaming on Netflix the first time around, you’re in luck because you can watch the whole thing now or when it is released as its own standalone on Netflix.
