LiAngelo Ball performed his hit song, "Tweaker," during halftime of the Lions-Commanders playoff game on Saturday night in Detroit. He dropped the viral track, earlier this month, and it debuted at No. 29 on the Billboard Hot 100. Ball took over Ford Field as the home team fell 45-31 to the underdog Commanders.
After Ball's performance, fans on social media reflected on how far he's come in recent weeks. "He said it in the song, he was below but made it to the top. Shout to his parents, they played a huge part in his career," one user on X (formerly Twitter) wrote in response to a clip of his set. Others were less impressed by the show. "Even if the lyrics were fire, they’re not, there’s a performance element missing," one fan posted. "It’s like the rich kids dressing down and acting street without living it. When you act like something you’re not, people see right through it."

He's also starred on his family's Facebook Watch reality show Ball in the Family.
