The ball family babies are all out of breath! The second ball signed a 13 million music contract, and the ball brother returned to the starting three balls to rush to the All-Star

On January 14, Beijing time, Shams reported that Liangelo Ball (two-ball) signed a contract worth up to $13 million with Def Jam and Universal Music, of which $8 million is guaranteed. Erqiu will retain ownership of his own music and own his own music label.

Shams also lamented that the three brothers are now on the rise: LaMelo (three-ball) is expected to play in the NBA All-Star Game and currently leads the Eastern Conference backcourt in terms of votes. Lonzo (Ball) returned to the starting guard after a two-year absence, and although he didn't make a name for himself on the basketball court, the two-ball found his musical stage.

Erqiu is about to release his second song, after his "Tweaker" became a national hit and attracted a lot of attention.

The two-ball was not selected in the 2018 NBA Draft. He signed training camp contracts in 2020 (Pistons), 2021 (Hornets) and 2022 (Hornets) but never made the regular season roster. From 2021 to 2023, he averaged 13.1 minutes per game, contributing 4.4 points and 1.1 rebounds in 31 G League games in the NBA. During his trip to China, Erqiu was involved in a theft.

After that, he decided to shift his career path to becoming an artist and musician. Described as having an early 21st century rap and modern hip-hop style, "Tweaker" was released on January 4 and has received nearly 8 million views as of January 14.

Ballmakers are no strangers to rapping. Ball Brother has released several songs, including "Zo2" to promote his Big Baller Brand signature shoes. However, Erqiu's song has received more attention, and Brother Qiu has declared 2025 as "G year (G refers to Li'Angelo)".

In addition to the brotherhood, the song has attracted a lot of attention from some quite famous rappers. The song entered the top 10 of Spotify's US streaming charts on January 9. As of now, the song is in fourth place with 1,398,725 views, surpassing "Sticky" and "tv off", which are collaborations with many bigwigs.
