G3’s viral anthem has taken over sports teams’ locker rooms, racked up millions of views and notched him a slot at Rolling Loud California. LiAngelo Ball attends GBK Pre-ESPY Luxury Lounge presented by MEND on July 10, 2024 in Los Angeles. Tiffany Rose/Getty Images for GBK Brand Bar When your two brothers are NBA stars, it can be tough to live up to the family name. The middle child of the Ball brothers, LiAngelo has been trying to find his footing professionally in hoops since going undrafted by the NBA in 2018 after withdrawing from UCLA. 2025 had a different plan for LiAngelo as it was the recording studio and not the basketball court that helped his profile explode over the weekend. Gelo — who also raps under the alias G3 — released his “Tweaker” track on Friday (Jan. 3) via Born to Ball Music Group, which set social media ablaze, infiltrated sports teams’ locker rooms and took the rap world by storm with co-signs from Lil Yachty to T-Pain. Fans felt the track was oozing with mid-2000s vibes so “Tweaker” fittingly made a nostalgic debut on WorldStarHipHop where it boasts nearly four million views. The 26-year-old’s momentum even earned him a slot to perform at Rolling Loud California 2025 in March. There appears to be more heat on the way as another snippet has hit social media. LiAngelo isn’t the only one of LaVar’s sons to pick up a mic as brother Lonzo, who currently plays for the Chicago Bulls, has released a pair of albums in the past. It’s a special time for the Ball family with youngest brother LaMelo, Charlotte Hornets point guard, currently leads the Eastern Conference in fan voting ahead of the 2025 NBA All-Star Game in February. Learn more about LiAngelo Ball and his Kunica-produced “Tweaker” breakout hit below. Lil Yachty, Meek Mill & T-Pain Co-Signs “Tweaker” and its catchy “I might swerve, bend that corner, woah-oah” bars are even earning the respect of G3’s peers. Lil Yachty posted a TikTok dancing to the track in a 2000s-coded outfit and T-Pain quoted Ball’s lyrics with a photo from the mid-2000s on X. “Real hiphop 2025,” Lil Boat wrote. The Ball Family As the patriarch of the Ball family, LaVar set the bar high and the spotlight shining on his family as he seemingly never met a microphone he didn’t like. LaVar, who had a brief NFL stint with the New York Jets, and wife Tina gave birth to three boys — Lonzo, LiAngelo and LaMelo. The family settled in Chino Hills, California, and LaVar promised his kids would all eventually play in the NBA together. While the Big Baller Brand CEO fell a tad short of his goal, Lonzo (27 years old) has battled back from knee injuries and has made over $100 million in the league as a current Chicago Bull and youngest brother LaMelo (23 years old) is averaging just under 30 points per game suiting up for the Charlotte Hornets. https://www.instagram.com/p/Biu6XDKAcBK Sports Teams Embracing ‘Tweaker’ As Locker Room Anthem “Tweaker” has quickly become a braggadocios anthem for sports teams to vibe with. Cleveland Cavaliers star Donovan Mitchell gave LiAngelo Ball a shout-out during his postgame interview as teammates bumped G3’s track. It’s not only for hoops players as the Detroit Lions celebrated winning the NFC North division title on Sunday (Jan. 5) by dancing to “Tweaker” in the locker room. Wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown got his teammates involved in the singalong too. NBA Aspirations Gelo had NBA aspirations like his brothers. After playing four years at Chino Hills High School, Ball emerged as a three-star recruit and followed in Lonzo’s footsteps at UCLA. Per The New York Times, LiAngelo was suspended alongside two teammates for allegedly shoplifting during a team trip to China in 2017. Ball quickly withdrew from UCLA without ever playing in a game. He went undrafted by the NBA a year later in 2018 and began his journey by playing overseas in Prienai, Lithuania. Following a stint in the Junior Basketball Association, Ball played a pair of seasons as part of the Hornets’ G-League team, the Swarm, in 2022 and 2023 before heading to Mexico where he suited up for the Astros de Jalisco. Lonzo Ball Clarifies His Co-Writing Credit Lonzo Ball wants to keep the spotlight on LiAngelo. While Lonzo is reportedly credited as a co-writer of “Tweaker,” he just wants credit for the distorted neighborhood cover art. The Bulls guard also dubbed 2025 to be the #YearofG.” The Chicago Bulls turned up to “Tweaker” in the locker room following a comeback victory against the New York Knicks over the weekend and the footage quickly went viral of Lonzo grinning ear-to-ear rapping his brother’s bars. Rolling Loud California 2025 Rolling Loud prides itself on bringing emerging hip-hop acts from your headphones to the stage and they didn’t waste any time inviting Gelo to the party. With “Tweaker” serving as the first major rap moment of 2025, G3 earned a slot to perform at Rolling Loud California on March 15 where he’ll have fans collectively swerving and bending that corner. Although he doesn’t have any projects out just yet, hopefully, there’s more music to perform come March. https://www.instagram.com/p/DEiKLxwyprz Weatherman Incorporates ‘Tweaker’ Into Snowstorm Report Even the weathermen are getting in on the trend. During a live hit showing the impact of a snowstorm, a WSAZ3 reporter explained that drivers may “swerve bend that corner” due to the slick conditions, which probably went over the heads of 99 percent of the viewers in Huntington, West Virginia. Moneybagg Yo Wants In On the Remix There’s been plenty of chatter about who’s going to be the first to freestyle over “Tweaker” or hop on the official remix. Moneybagg Yo threw his name into the mix when he showed interest with a tweet to Gelo on Tuesday (Jan. 7). “@LiAngeloBall send me da open verse ima tweak,” Big Speaker wrote.

Fans are speculating that Lil Baby has accused his former collaborator Gunna of allegedly being a snitch once again. Baby recently released the deluxe version of his latest album WHAM, which includes four new songs: “99” featuring Future, “Idol,” “Running This Sh–” and “My Shawty.” “Running This Sh–” stands out from the bunch because the song includes a line about a certain someone still being “a rat,” and it has fans speculating that Lil Baby may be referring to Gunna. “I don’t care what he did, he a rat still/ And I said what I said, don’t at me,” he raps on the song’s second verse. Lil Baby has made no secret about how he feels about Gunna. He recently told Charlamagne Tha God that they don’t have a relationship anymore and Baby doesn’t see himself working with Gunna again. Gunna has had voices on his side, though. Young Thug’s dad has made multiple public statements in defense of the YSL signee, and the rapper’s lawyer Steve Sadow has as well. Most recently, responding to a Sportskeeda news article about a recent leaked Young Thug snippet in which he raps, “Never associate with a rat,” Sadow took to X to once again voice his thoughts on the matter. “I was Gunna’s attorney but I am NOT speaking on his behalf,” he began. “This long post is solely to set out the truth. Gunna did NOT cooperate, and did NOTHING and said NOTHING to cause harm to Thug’s case… “ Adding, “Love the street rules and the dry-snitched comments. Oh. the fake outrage, same old sh–. Both were charged with RICO. Both faced 20 yrs in prison. Both pled to RICO. Regardless, I’m more than willing to accept the blame for the great deal.” You can cop the WHAM deluxe here, or you can wait for it to hit streaming on Friday. Billboard reached out to both Gunna’s team and his attorney Steve Sadow for comment. Source link

By now, you’ve likely heard G3’s (aka LiAngelo Ball) viral anthem “Tweaker” — or at least a snippet of it. Fans on social media have taken a liking to the song because it sounds like something out of the early to mid 2000s, when hip-hop music videos often featured fitted hats, sports jerseys and spinning chrome rims. “Tweaker” also sounds like something you would hear on a video game soundtrack or a song that your favorite wrestler would use as entrance music and some have made memes to drive that point home. Explore Explore See latest videos, charts and news See latest videos, charts and news Fans also noticed Gelo’s big brother, Chicago Bulls guard Lonzo Ball, is credited as a songwriter. However, the elder Ball brother cleared that mistake up on X, saying that the only credit he should get is for the cover art. “Only credit I deserve is the cover art lol G really that,” he wrote on X. Lonzo has been hella supportive of his younger sibling’s career pivot from basketball player to rapper in recent days, even playing the song in the Bulls locker room last week while he danced and rapped along to the now viral sensation. “Tweaker” began going viral before it was properly released on streaming services Friday (Jan. 3), thanks to a clip of LiAngelo playing the song for streamer Neon. As of press time, the song has almost 4 million hits on WorldStarHipHop’s YouTube page, and Lonzo Ball is still credited as a songwriter on the Apple Music app. Source link

Kelsea Ballerini has been happily in love with Chase Stokes for the past two years, and the “Peter Pan” singer took to Instagram on Tuesday (Jan. 7) to celebrate the couple’s anniversary. Explore Explore See latest videos, charts and news See latest videos, charts and news “Two years of catching each other in countless cities, perfecting a chimichurri steak, and creating a world that revolves around dogs. love you so, teammate,” she captioned a photo carousel of sweet moments with the actor, in which the duo are seen kissing and cuddling, traveling and generally having fun together. Ballerini and Stokes went public with their romance in Feb. 2023 and since then they’ve walked a number of red carpets together and frequently chronicled their love affair on their socials. That same month, Ballerini dropped her Rolling Up the Welcome Mat EP, in which she detailed the devastation of her divorce from fellow country star Morgan Evans.  “I think the beautiful thing about being with an artist — in a different field but an artist — is that also equates to being with a truth-teller,” she said on Sunday Today With Willie Geist in October of dating the Outer Banks star. “When I got into this relationship, I hadn’t put out Welcome Mat to him. I remember I sent that EP to him and I just said, ‘Hey, you’re going to ask eventually. So, I’m just going to go ahead and give this to you.’ He lifted that record up and supported it and stood side-stage the whole time. That takes someone who really celebrates truth-telling, and believes in the person that’s doing it.” Source link

You know what they say: new year, new music! In celebration of 2025’s arrival, the Billboard Latin and Billboard Español teams have predicted some of the Latin music trends that we believe will take off this year based on their momentum from 2024. Last year, we predicted that cumbia music in all its entirety and subgenres (chicha, sonidera, norteña, villera, etc) will see a massive growth. Indeed, cumbia was hot, especially amongst Argentinean artists: Nicki Nicole released “Ojos Verdes,” Tiago PZK teamed up with Ke Personajes for “Piel” and Puerto Rican rapper Myke Towers got experimental on “Los Depuro” with L-Gante, an innovative fusion between cumbia RKT and reggaetón. We also predicted the rise of dance bélico or electrocorridos, and indeed, we hit the mark. For their 2024 album, Pero No Te Enamores, Fuerza Regida teamed up with renowned DJs such as Major Lazer, ALOK, AFROJACK, and Gordo, for various EDM-infused bangers. Los Esquivel, Grupo Firme, Grupo Marca Registrada, and DannyLux, among others, also delivered club-ready tracks last year. Now, with 2025 in full swing, we are seeing more Latin music trends in the horizon. Latin Afrobeat, for example, not only became a very popular rhythm in 2024 but also dominated the Billboard charts. With viral hits “Ohnana” and “UWAIE,” Colombian newcomer Kapo entered three charts: Hot Latin Songs, Global 200, and Global Excl. U.S. Boza and Elena Rose also made waves with their breakout single “Orion,” which hit No. 2 on the Latin Pop Airplay chart. Which Latin music trends should we be looking out for this year? Check out our predictions below. Corridos Experimentation Image Credit: Christopher Polk A few years ago, corridos and reggaetón were distinct genres that rarely merged into any sort of fusion. However, Latin urban superstars like Nicky Jam, Bad Bunny, and Arcángel began to famously dabble in regional Mexican music in recent years. Alongside this, a new experimentally driven branch of corridos, predominantly led by Mexicans and Mexican Americans, is beginning to take shape. Experimentations from Fuerza Regida, like their reggaetón-tinged “Nel,” Sebastian Esquivel’s heavy electro corridos catalog, and Ivan Cornejo’s latest album Mirada, which merges sierreño music with electric guitar, exemplify this expanding música mexicana sound. So does Peso Pluma’s Grammy-nominated Éxodo, as the corridos superstar ventured into reggaetón with Anitta, trap with Rich the Kid and EDM with DJ Snake. This expansion is a departure from the traditional música mexicana styles of artists like Carín León and Christian Nodal and may signal ongoing evolution and diversification in the corridos genre and its artists.  Cumbias Bélicas Last year we predicted the resurgence of cumbia, and undoubtedly, the storied genre proceeded to ascend to unprecedented heights. This is partly thanks to legends like Los Ángeles Azules, who teamed up with newer talent like Yuridia and Emilia, with the latter assisting the group on “Perdonarte, ¿Para Qué?.” As a result, it earned its rightful place on Billboard’s Best Latin Songs of 2024, while also giving each act its first No. 1 on the general Latin Airplay chart. On the other hand, the bélicos movement continued its meteoric rise with the explosive popularity of modern-day corridos, led by superstars like Peso Pluma and Luis R. Conriquez. Further cementing this trend was the emergence of dance bélicos, under the hands of Fuerza Regida’s Jersey corridos-driven Pero No Te Enamores, alongside innovations from Banda Renovación, Grupo Firme with Demi Lovato, and others. Enter the cumbias bélicas movement, led by young artist Yahir Saldívar, who has proclaimed himself the pioneer of that style. His viral debut single “SC-9” — characterized by traditional rhythms á la Rigo Tovar and grim gangster lyrics — is quickly amassing streams, with the count at 128 million views on YouTube alone. In the video, Saldívar dons warrior-like gear complete with rifles, epitomizing the belikeada style. It’s also noteworthy that rapper Santa Fe Klan, who ventured into cumbia-rap sonidera with his 2021 album Santa Cumbia, has given his nod to the emerging star. This isn’t the first sighting of this musical hybrid, but with Saldívar’s breakout song hitting No. 1 on the Latin Digital Song Sales chart, we can expect more cumbias bélicas to take root in the music scene. Latin Afrobeat Image Credit: Courtesy Photo In recent years, collaborations between Afrobeats and Latin music artists have been increasingly notable. Puerto Rican hitmaker Ozuna dropped an album called Afro, dedicated to the Nigerian-born genre, featuring duets with Nigerian musicians Davido (“Eva Longoria”) and Omah Lay (“Soso Remix“). Nigerian star Burna Boy performed alongside Brazilian sensation Anitta at the 2023 UEFA Champions League final, and moreover, Colombian urbano star Feid released “Bubalu” with Nigerian sensation Rema, after going viral with his Selena Gomez-assisted mega hit “Calm Down.” Though the fusion between Latin music and Afrobeats is not necessarily new, we are noticing more and more Latin artists experimenting with the genre, lacing it with Spanish-language lyrics—and entering the Billboard charts along the way. A few examples are Shakira’s “Soltera,” powered by a joyful tropical pop tune fused with Afrobeats, which earned her 24th No. 1 on Latin Airplay; Boza and Elena Rose’s flirty “Orion,” which hit No. 2 on Latin Pop Airplay; and Kapo, whoss feel-good viral tracks “Ohnana” and “UWAIE” both made it on the charts. Other artists who have gained momentum making Latin Afrobeat fusions are Beéle, Rels B, Greeicy, and Ryan Castro, to name a few. Less Global, More Regional After achieving global stardom with reggaetón anthems that have been adopted by people around the world, Bad Bunny has already turned to more regional sounds this year for his new album Debí Tirar Más Fotos (released Jan. 5). “I am Puerto Rican, I am Caribbean, and my music, my culture, my country’s history run through my veins, from plena to reggaetón,” Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio (Bunny’s real name) said in a statement. On Debí, he takes traditional Afro-Puerto Rican styles like plena and jíbara and fuses them with contemporary reggaetón and synths. In 2024, Manuel Turizo’s 201 also saw him also incorporating more traditional sounds like vallenato, expressing that his latest set is “what Montería
