LiAngelo Ball’s song ‘Tweaker’ has taken the hoop community by storm. In four days since its release, the song has garnered over 4.4 million streams on YouTube alone. Surprisingly, Draymond Green had not heard about the song until Baron Davis asked him about it on an episode of The Draymond Green Show.

After seeing BD’s reaction to Gelo for making a banger, Green decided to listen to it. He immediately realized that the hype was real. Green said, “Aye, that’s knocking, I ain’t even gon’ lie. It’s knocking.”
Green went from doubting the song to vouching for Ball to perform at the All-Star game half-time show within minutes. He said, “Alright, Gelo. Half-time show at the All-Star game.”
The four-time NBA Champion said that All-Star games have been “dead” for a while and the 26-year-old can bring it back to life with his performance.
After vibing to the song during recording for a while, Green said that he would now listen to it while practicing, “I gotta listen to that when I hoop tomorrow.” The 34-year-old added that he will go back and listen to ‘Tweaker’ again after wrapping up his podcast. Green also talked about a potential career that Gelo might explore after the success.
He said, “So LaVar was right, Gelo ain’t necessarily make it in basketball, but you saying he’s about to make it as a rapper.”
There’s no denying that the song is a hit. More importantly, people aren’t listening to it or praising it as a song made by a hooper. In the majority’s opinion, it’s just a great song to listen to.
