The 2025 Super Bowl LIX is full of drama! From Kendrick Lamar’s halftime show to Taylor Swift getting booed, there are a series of takeaways. But what made it even more special was the complete dominance of the Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles secured a 40-22 against the Kansas City Chiefs, diminishing the latter’s opportunity to secure the first NFL three-peat since the Green Bay Packers’ 1965-67 run. It was time to celebrate for the Eagles, but how did they do? Ah, LiAngelo Ball’s recent hit is all over the speakers!
After a few years in the G-League and other regional clubs, the ‘basketball’s black sheep’ of the Ball family set out to create a name for himself in a different niche. This January 2025, Ball made his mark in the music industry by releasing ‘his debut music’. It secured millions of views instantly and became known as the track that several athletes from the NBA and NFL locker rooms filmed themselves vibing to. Even retired athletes like Jeff Teague, Blake Griffin, and Cam Newton publicly praised the song. But what is success to you without defining it as success?
Who doesn’t love attention, and when it is by the winning Eagles, it becomes even more significant! The former basketball player, on his IG account, shared a story of his debut song rocking the floor. A clip from the Philadelphia Eagles squad’s party, where everyone was dancing and vibing to the music. Well, it is up to you to see his story or listen to LiAngelo Ball’s 2025 release ‘Tweaker’ when you are alone, because it does have some NSFW language! But besides this, to see the Super Bowl champions’ vibe to his debut single is a big morale booster for Ball.

It was good to see LiAngelo Ball come across the Philadelphia Eagles squad vibing to his hit track. After all, the former player certainly needed some good news. Especially since things are not improving for him back home and even in his basketball career. When discussing basketball families, where siblings compete in the same sport, names like the Currys or the Antetokounmpos would surely come up. Even the Ball brothers. Unfortunately, unlike his older and younger brother, LiAngelo Ball could not progress well in basketball. But what has Lonzo Ball to say on this?
LiAngelo Ball’s family support amid cheating allegation
In light of the ‘Tweaker’ success, Lonzo Ball couldn’t help but be proud of what his brother had achieved. The 27-year-old said, “He raps like how he hoops. He trying to get 30 every game”. When discussing the dedication that LiAngelo puts into his work, the Chicago Bulls player further added, “When he comes to the booth, he really just wants to make whatever songs he’s got on his phone. 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.” There are no regrets for not seeing his brother find interest in the sport, at least not on the court.
But wait, LiAngelo Ball hasn’t been in the most positive light over the last few weeks. A cheating allegation by none other than Nikki Mudarris, his former girlfriend. She revealed a few days ago that after spending 3 and a half years together as a couple, LiAngelo Ball reportedly walked out on her, their 1-year-old son LaVelo, and their 2-month-old daughter LaNiyah. But is he alone here? Someone has come out in support, guess who?

In a 1:20-minute video, the new girlfriend stated that the former player had not cheated on Mudarris and that he had simply moved on. She addressed the criticism being directed towards her by saying “I’m tired of people playing victim on the internet. One, people move on, things change. Yes, it might not be updated or addressed to the internet because it’s not for y’all. People have private lives”. If this wasn’t enough, she went on to say the former girlfriend and her family are racist! Oh, that’s quite a big allegation.

You could say that LiAngelo Ball has gotten himself into an unwanted situation here. A situation of his own making. Therefore, amidst the drama, it was easy to forget the success Ball had gained with his track. The NFL champions helped to remind him of the same.
