As his song “Tweaker” has recently gone viral, the esteemed shooting guard and small forward has reportedly signed a record deal.
ESPN’s Shams Charania broke the news via X (formerly Twitter), noting that the deal is reportedly “worth as much as $13 million, with $8 million guaranteed, and gives Ball full ownership of music and his own record label.” The deal is said to be Def Jam and Universal Music Group, however, Ball will maintain ownership of his Born2Ball Music Group label.
The news comes almost two weeks after the official release of “Tweaker,” which had begun going viral in December 2024 from a 10-second snippet. Since then, many people have shown love for the song, including Lil Yachty and the Detroit Lions, who have shared videos with the snippet playing in the background. Rappers like Moneybagg Yo and Boosie Badazz have also expressed interest in appearing on the remix.
