LiAngelo Ball‘s rap career is taking off like no other — the former UCLA star just landed a spot on the Rolling Loud California lineup … days after his first rap single blew up on social media.
The popular festival just dropped its slate of artists for 2025 … and Gelo’s name sits among some heavy hitters in the industry — like A$AP Rocky, Playboi Carti, Peso Pluma, YG, Quavo and Ab-Soul.
It’s a massive come-up for Gelo … after all, his debut, “Tweaker,” was officially published on Jan. 3 — but has since taken a world of its own.
Not only did the Detroit Lions jam out to it after clinching the No. 1 seed in the NFC on Sunday …. but the Cleveland Cavaliers, Brooklyn Nets, Chicago Bulls and more have also gotten in on Gelo’s music career.
Gelo was a star at Chino Hills before joining the Bruins … and he also spent some time playing overseas alongside his brother, LaMelo.
He tried out for the NBA … but some believe he’s found his true calling in the studio.
Unclear how long Ball’s set will be … as “Tweaker” is the only track released at this time, but his brother, Lonzo, revealed there are other songs already in the bank.
Gelo has yet to acknowledge the booking.
