The Milwaukee Bucks registered a 120-113 win at home over the Miami Heat tonight. Damian Lillard led the team in scoring with 28 points and had three rebounds and eight assists. After his game-winning performance, Dame was being interviewed inside the team locker room, but Giannis Antetokounmpo had something else on his mind.

While Dame was answering a serious question about the team’s growth and continuity, Giannis in the background was singing the chorus to LiAngelo Ball’s ‘Tweaker.’
The Bucks superstar could be heard singing, “I might swerve, bend that corner, woah,” in the background. Although he might not be intentionally distracting Lillard, having Giannis sing the chorus repeatedly wasn’t helping at all. But no one can blame him for this as ‘Tweaker’ has been one of the biggest hits in the country.

In fact, as per Chart Data, it was the first rap song released in 2025 to sell over 500,000 units in the US. The song earned Gelo a record deal worth $13 million with Def Jam. The deal includes $8 million guaranteed, the ownership of his music, and the freedom to run it through his own label, Born2Ball.

Ball truly struck gold with ‘Tweaker’ as it turned into a viral anthem, earning him a slot at Rolling Loud California. As popular as the song was, it’s been nearly two months since it was released. Although Gelo released a remix version with Lil Wayne earlier this month, the hype around the song has faded away.
While it’s unlikely that Giannis just got onto the ‘Tweaker’ hype train, he seems to not be over it yet. In addition to that, this wasn’t the first time when the Greek Freak interrupted Dame during an interview.
Earlier this month, the Bucks won 112-102 against the Charlotte Hornets. Lillard led the team with 29 points, four rebounds, and 12 assists. While he was being interviewed inside the locker room, Giannis was busy imitating a viral meme. The Greek Freak was repeatedly yelling, “Hawk tuah that thing.”
What’s funnier is that on both these occasions, Dame kept his serious face on and continued his conversation with the reporters.
