LiAngelo Ball is set to perform his viral song, “Tweaker,” on Feb. 15 during the NBA’s All-Star Saturday night, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania.
Charania noted that it will be Ball’s first televised show.
The 26-year-old’s track has been an immediate hit, amassing 14.4 million views since it was originally released on the WorldstarHipHop YouTube channel.
Ball also recently dropped a remix of the song featuring Lil Wayne.
While his upcoming NBA All-Star performance will be his first broadcasted show, he already has some experience in front of a large audience. Ball previously performed “Tweaker” during an NFL divisional-round playoff clash between the Detroit Lions and Washington Commanders on Jan. 18.
Ball is the brother of Chicago Bulls guard Lonzo Ball and Charlotte Hornets point guard LaMelo Ball.
LiAngelo had a brief NBA G League career, averaging 4.4 points in 13.1 minutes per game across 31 appearances with the Greensboro Swarm from 2021-23. Now, his focus appears to be completely shifted to music.
As Ball’s song continues to gain popularity, he’ll be performing it during NBA All-Star festivities at Chase Center.
