LiAngelo Ball—yes, the athlete-turned-rapper—has thrown himself into the music scene with the kind of energy that makes you wonder if he’s been binging on caffeine since the ball dropped in 2025. His latest single, “Tweaker,” isn’t just a catchy tune; it’s a full-throttle anthem that’s already claiming the title of the first major hit of the year. I mean, talk about a speed run into the rap game! But let’s not forget the drama that’s brewing in the background—LiAngelo’s not only riding high on this newfound fame but also stirring the pot with none other than hip-hop legend Cam’ron. And just like that, we’re thrust into a social media slugfest where Ball’s asserting his lyrical prowess, claiming he’s not just here to play; he’s here to dominate. So, what’s got him riled up? Is it the haters? The naysayers? Or just the thrill of being the new kid on the block, swinging for the fences? Buckle up, folks—this is going to be one wild ride through the world of music, ego, and unexpected feuds!
LiAngelo Ball has set the rap game on fire in one month. His song “Tweaker” has become the first bona fide hit of 2025, and he’s looking to capitalize on the momentum with festival appearances and a record deal. LiAngelo Ball has really speed ran his rapper development, because he’s already gotten into a feud with one of the genre’s legends, Cam’ron. Ball and Cam have trade back and forths via social media, and the former addressed his feelings toward the rapper during a recent interview.
The long and short of it is that LiAngelo Ball is not worried. He told Complex that he doesn’t care what Cam’ron has to say about him or his rapping. “I don’t deal with it,” the athlete stated. “That don’t bother me… I don’t know Cam’ron bro.” The gloves came off, though, when LiAngelo Ball declared that he had more skills on the mic than the Dipset frontman. “I think I rap colder than him,” Ball asserted. “Basketball colder than him.” LiAngelo Ball proceeded to make fun of the idea that Cam’ron’s disapproval would be something that bothered him or hindered his confidence.
“I’m not over here like ‘Dang, he said I can’t do this,'” he said amidst laughter. LiAngelo Ball said that he predicted rappers would have it out for him given his background. He had already made his name as an athlete, and believes rappers feel threatened by his success with “Tweaker.” Ball did clarify that he isn’t trying to come off disrespectful to those who came and rapped before him. He said that he merely feels he’s better than Cam’ron, but acknowledges Cam’s legacy. “They legend for real,” he explained. “I’m not disrespecting.”
LiAngelo Ball said he doesn’t have any personal feelings about Cam’ron. The latter even praised Ball’s single “Tweaker” when it dropped. Cam’s big issue with Ball was when he was tapped to perform at the halftime show for the Detroit Lions playoff game. The rapper felt that Michigan legends like Eminem or Big Sean should have been given the nod over Ball. Like Ball said, though, criticism isn’t going to slow him down. Especially if he has another “Tweaker”-sized hit in the stash.
