[Saba Sports News] Lonzo and LiAngelo Ball just reminded the world they’re more than basketball players—they can rock a stage, too. At the 2025 BET Awards, the Ball brothers delivered a high-energy live performance of “Tweaker,” a track originally written and performed by LiAngelo.
Their set quickly became one of the most talked-about moments of the night, lighting up social media and electrifying the crowd.
With Kevin Hart hyping up the room from the host podium, Lonzo and LiAngelo brought swagger and charisma, transforming the awards show into a full-blown concert. The audience was clearly feeling it, but the real buzz took off online.
Clips of their performance went viral almost instantly. One fan joked, “Song cooked lmaooo,” while another gave LiAngelo a hilarious new nickname—“G League YoungBoy.” Others were surprised by Lonzo’s dance moves, with one tweet reading, “Lonzo is a great dancer.”
The reactions ranged from playful jabs to genuine praise, but one thing was clear: the Ball brothers delivered. In an industry where athlete-turned-rapper attempts often fall flat, Lonzo and LiAngelo’s chemistry and stage presence made “Tweaker” feel legit—not just a side hustle.
Since its release in January, “Tweaker” has been steadily gaining traction, popping up in NBA and NFL locker rooms, pregame playlists, and Instagram stories. It’s even received rumored shoutouts from Cardi B, Cam’ron, and Drake—strong signals that this track has real momentum.
Their BET Awards appearance came on a night packed with major cultural moments and tributes to basketball’s biggest names, including LeBron James, Angel Reese, A’ja Wilson, Jayson Tatum, and Anthony Edwards. It was a reminder that today’s athletes are shaping pop culture as much as they are dominating the court.
For Lonzo and LiAngelo Ball, this performance marks a new chapter. Once known primarily for their basketball roots and their headline-making father, they’re now carving out their own lane—with mics in hand.
And if the response to “Tweaker” is any sign, this won’t be the last time they steal the show off the court.
