GELO has teamed up with Lil Wayne on the remix of his 2025 runaway hit “Tweaker” on Friday (Feb. 7).
The NBA G-League hooper and middle Ball brother (real name LiAngelo Ball) released the original song at the top of the year after it was previewed on popular streamer N3on’s platform last December and it officially premiered on WorldStarHipHop. The song debuted at No. 29 on the Billboard Hot 100 and remains in the top 50 one month later. He has since signed a record label deal with Def Jam and released the “Tweaker” music video starring his brothers Lonzo and LaMelo Ball.
“I didn’t connect with him until my manager’s and them showed me his song. I hit him up on the Gram like, ‘Your verse is hard as hell. That’s what we was missing on our s–t,” GELO told Billboard in his recent Hip-Hop Rookie of the Month interview. “That’s like hooping with [Michael] Jordan. He back on that Dedication type of sound. That boy was flowing.”
