Earlier this week, <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/clutchpoints.com\/nba\/nba-stories\/nba-news-lonzo-ball-scapegoat-truth-bomb-cavs-exit\">Lonzo Ball<\/a> popped up on social media <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/collegefootballnetwork.com\/nba\/liangelo-ball-new-song-backyard-ball-has-lonzo-ball-losing-it-shirtless-with-afro-look-in-epic-promo-dance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">dancing around his home<\/a> to his younger brother\u2019s new track, \u201cBackyard Ball,\u201d turning a low-stakes Instagram moment into a full-blown hype clip, CollegeFootballNetwork reports.<\/p>\n<p>The now-deleted video showed Lonzo shirtless, rocking his signature afro, moving freely to the beat and clearly enjoying the moment. No captions needed, no promo script, just pure sibling energy. Fans immediately latched on, sharing clips and laughing at how naturally Lonzo slid into the role of hype man.<\/p>\n<p>The moment doubled as a signal that LiAngelo Ball continues to gain traction with his post-basketball pivot. \u201cBackyard Ball\u201d arrived Tuesday and quickly earned positive feedback online, with listeners pointing out the track\u2019s heavy basketball themes and confident tone.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Lonzo Ball dancing in his new Instagram post \ud83d\udc80 <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/dxjbhfAuPn\">pic.twitter.com\/dxjbhfAuPn<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 FearBuck (@FearedBuck) <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FearedBuck\/status\/2026536576839237943?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 25, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2><strong>Family hype fuels LiAngelo Ball\u2019s music run<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>\u201cBackyard Ball\u201d follows LiAngelo\u2019s debut studio album, \u201cLeague of My Own,\u201d which dropped in 2025 and marked a clear commitment to music after years spent chasing an NBA opportunity. He previously suited up in the G League before shifting gears in late 2024, betting fully on rap.<\/p>\n<p>That gamble paid off quickly. His viral single \u201cTweaker,\u201d released in January 2025, sparked widespread attention and led to a reported $13 million deal with Def Jam and Universal Music Group. In an interview with Billboard, LiAngelo summed up the mindset behind the move. \u201cI always told myself I would be great at something, even if the hoops don\u2019t work,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Lonzo\u2019s support did not stop with one clip. On Feb. 17, he shared another video rapping along to his brother\u2019s verse, surprising LiAngelo with how quickly he memorized the lyrics. \u201cGang learned the whole verse alr,\u201d LiAngelo joked in response.<\/p>\n<p>Lonzo knows the studio life himself. He released a rap mixtape, \u201cBorn 2 Ball,\u201d in 2018 and followed it with the single \u201cZO2\u201d in 2021. This time, though, he looked happy to stay in the background, dancing, laughing, and letting his brother shine.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><script>self.__next_f.push([1,\"0:{\\\"P\\\":null,\\\"b\\\":\\\"K-RuxK3SjoBv3ubXbGf6z\\\",\\\"p\\\":\\\"\\\",\\\"c\\\":[\\\"\\\",\\\"celebrity\\\",\\\"lonzo-ball-dancing-in-his-underwear-to-liangelos-new-song-is-a-hilarious-hype-video\\\"],\\\"i\\\":false,\\\"f\\\":[[[\\\"\\\",{\\\"children\\\":[[\\\"category\\\",\\\"celebrity\\\",\\\"d\\\"],{\\\"children\\\":[[\\\"articleSlug\\\",\\\"lonzo-ball-dancing-in-his-underwear-to-liangelos-new-song-is-a-hilarious-hype-video\\\",\\\"d\\\"],{\\\"children\\\":[\\\"__PAGE__\\\",{}]}]}]},\\\"$undefined\\\",\\\"$undefined\\\",true],[\\\"\\\",[\\\"$\\\",\\\"$1\\\",\\\"c\\\",{\\\"children\\\":[[[\\\"$\\\",\\\"link\\\",\\\"0\\\",{\\\"rel\\\":\\\"stylesheet\\\",\\\"href\\\":\\\"\/_next\/static\/css\/e08d5642cf6177c9.css?dpl=dpl_7XxTtzFxumKMWFbFNokqDDaah8rh\\\",\\\"precedence\\\":\\\"next\\\",\\\"crossOrigin\\\":\\\"$undefined\\\",\\\"nonce\\\":\\\"$undefined\\\"}],[\\\"$\\\",\\\"link\\\",\\\"1\\\",{\\\"rel\\\":\\\"stylesheet\\\",\\\"href\\\":\\\"\/_next\/static\/css\/091984098565e9c0.css?dpl=dpl_7XxTtzFxumKMWFbFNokqDDaah8rh\\\",\\\"precedence\\\":\\\"next\\\",\\\"crossOrigin\\\":\\\"$undefined\\\",\\\"nonce\\\":\\\"$undefined\\\"}],[\\\"$\\\",\\\"link\\\",\\\"2\\\",{\\\"rel\\\":\\\"stylesheet\\\",\\\"href\\\":\\\"\/_next\/static\/css\/3cbb4673af479a75.css?dpl=dpl_7XxTtzFxumKMWFbFNokqDDaah8rh\\\",\\\"precedence\\\":\\\"next\\\",\\\"crossOrigin\\\":\\\"$undefined\\\",\\\"nonce\\\":\\\"$undefined\\\"}]],[\\\"$\\\",\\\"html\\\",null,{\\\"lang\\\":\\\"en\\\",\\\"children\\\":[[\\\"$\\\",\\\"head\\\",null,{\\\"children\\\":[[\\\"$\\\",\\\"meta\\\",null,{\\\"httpEquiv\\\":\\\"Content-Security-Policy\\\",\\\"content\\\":\\\"upgrade-insecure-requests;block-all-mixed-content\\\"}],[\\\"$\\\",\\\"$L2\\\",null,{\\\"src\\\":\\\"https:\/\/www.googletagmanager.com\/gtag\/js?id=AW-845949646\\\",\\\"strategy\\\":\\\"afterInteractive\\\"}],[\\\"$\\\",\\\"$L2\\\",null,{\\\"id\\\":\\\"gtag-init\\\",\\\"strategy\\\":\\\"afterInteractive\\\",\\\"dangerouslySetInnerHTML\\\":{\\\"__html\\\":\\\"\\\\n          window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];\\\\n          function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}\\\\n          gtag('js', new Date());\\\\n\\\\n          gtag('config', 'AW-845949646');\\\\n        \\\"}}],[\\\"$\\\",\\\"$L2\\\",null,{\\\"id\\\":\\\"meta-pixel\\\",\\\"strategy\\\":\\\"afterInteractive\\\",\\\"dangerouslySetInnerHTML\\\":{\\\"__html\\\":\\\"!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\\\\n              {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\\\\n              n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\\\\n              if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\\\\n              n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\\\\n              t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\\\\n              s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script',\\\\n              'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\\\\n              fbq('init', '604453244580535');\\\\n              fbq('track', 'PageView');\\\"}}],[\\\"$\\\",\\\"script\\\",null,{\\\"crossOrigin\\\":\\\"anonymous\\\",\\\"src\\\":\\\"https:\/\/ua.realtimely.io\/script.js\\\",\\\"data-site\\\":\\\"CLUTCH\\\",\\\"defer\\\":true}],[\\\"$\\\",\\\"$L2\\\",null,{\\\"id\\\":\\\"raptive-email\\\",\\\"dangerouslySetInnerHTML\\\":{\\\"__html\\\":\\\"$3\\\"}}],\\\"$L4\\\",\\\"$L5\\\",\\\"$L6\\\",\\\"$L7\\\",\\\"$L8\\\",\\\"$L9\\\"]}],\\\"$La\\\"]}]]}],{\\\"children\\\":[[\\\"category\\\",\\\"celebrity\\\",\\\"d\\\"],\\\"$Lb\\\",{\\\"children\\\":[[\\\"articleSlug\\\",\\\"lonzo-ball-dancing-in-his-underwear-to-liangelos-new-song-is-a-hilarious-hype-video\\\",\\\"d\\\"],\\\"$Lc\\\",{\\\"children\\\":[\\\"__PAGE__\\\",\\\"$Ld\\\",{},null,false]},null,false]},null,false]},null,false],\\\"$Le\\\",false]],\\\"m\\\":\\\"$undefined\\\",\\\"G\\\":[\\\"$f\\\",[]],\\\"s\\\":false,\\\"S\\\":true}\\n\"])<\/script><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source clutchpoints.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LiAngelo Ball\u2019s music rollout got an unexpected assist from family, and it landed perfectly with fans.
