After the Detroit Lions secured the NFC North and clinched the top seed, they had a party in the locker room featuring the latest rap hit, “Tweaker” by LiAngelo Ball. This former G League player, sibling to NBA stars Lonzo and LaMelo Ball, is venturing into music with great success. Just days after signing a record deal worth $13 million with Def Jam, LiAngelo performed at the Lions’ playoff game against the Washington Commanders in Detroit.

Ball’s performance was electrifying, seemingly energizing both teams, as witnessed in an intense game filled with unexpected plays:

• The Commanders converted a critical fourth-and-3 and took the lead with Brian Robinson Jr.’s touchdown.
• The Lions regained the advantage thanks to an incredible catch by Sam LaPorta.
• Terry McLaurin then responded for Washington with a long touchdown.
• Jared Goff’s interception led to a pick-six, pushing the Commanders ahead.
• After an injury forced Goff out of the game, former player Teddy Bridgewater stepped in, followed by Jameson Williams scoring a unique touchdown.
• Jayden Daniels later led another touchdown drive for the Commanders before Goff was picked off again to conclude the first half.

By halftime, Washington led 31-21, marking the highest-scoring second quarter in NFL playoff history, likely aided by the powerful vibes brought by Gelo.

LiAngelo, ranked fourth among athletes with promising music careers, also made headlines by attending the Bills-Hornets game, where his brothers competed for the first time since 2021, with LaMelo’s team triumphing 125-123 in a thrilling encounter.
