LiAngelo Ball has set the rap game on fire in one month. His song "Tweaker" has become the first bona fide hit of 2025, and he's looking to capitalize on the momentum with festival appearances and a record deal. LiAngelo Ball has really speed ran his rapper development, because he's already gotten into a feud with one of the genre's legends, Cam'ron. Ball and Cam have trade back and forths via social media, and the former addressed his feelings toward the rapper during a recent interview.
The long and short of it is that LiAngelo Ball is not worried. He told Complex that he doesn't care what Cam'ron has to say about him or his rapping. "I don't deal with it," the athlete stated. "That don't bother me... I don't know Cam'ron bro." The gloves came off, though, when LiAngelo Ball declared that he had more skills on the mic than the Dipset frontman. "I think I rap colder than him," Ball asserted. "Basketball colder than him." LiAngelo Ball proceeded to make fun of the idea that Cam'ron's disapproval would be something that bothered him or hindered his confidence.
"I'm not over here like 'Dang, he said I can't do this,'" he said amidst laughter. LiAngelo Ball said that he predicted rappers would have it out for him given his background. He had already made his name as an athlete, and believes rappers feel threatened by his success with "Tweaker." Ball did clarify that he isn't trying to come off disrespectful to those who came and rapped before him. He said that he merely feels he's better than Cam'ron, but acknowledges Cam's legacy. "They legend for real," he explained. "I'm not disrespecting."
LiAngelo Ball said he doesn't have any personal feelings about Cam'ron. The latter even praised Ball's single "Tweaker" when it dropped. Cam's big issue with Ball was when he was tapped to perform at the halftime show for the Detroit Lions playoff game. The rapper felt that Michigan legends like Eminem or Big Sean should have been given the nod over Ball. Like Ball said, though, criticism isn't going to slow him down. Especially if he has another "Tweaker"-sized hit in the stash.
A$AP Rocky has been quiet during his legal battle. The rapper has not said a word entering the court or a word during his trial. Barring some brief praise for his friend and blog rap peer Kendrick Lamar. A$AP has made sure to be careful when it comes to what he says. His facade dropped, however, during a shocking exchange on Friday. The rapper told a witness not to answer a question during an interrogation. It was a shocking moment on several front, and is generally considered a bad sign during a criminal trial.
The awkward moment was captured on film. A$AP Twelvy, a member of Rocky's A$AP Mob, was being asked what the meaning of a specific photo was. The rapper made it clear he wasn't sure what it meant, but in the midst of his answer, Rocky spoke out. Prosecution interrupted the line of questioning and then redirected the focus to A$AP Rocky's question. "Did you hear the defendant when asked question loudly say," he asked. "Do not answer it." Twelvy admits he heard something but claimed he wasn't sure what was said from Rocky's side of the courtroom.
The prosecution suggested that A$AP Twelvy was being coy about his knowledge due to the fact that A$AP Rocky told him not give an answer. The rapper attempted to downplay Rocky's comment, saying he didn't even hear what was said. Prosecution doubled down, and attempted to get an answer out of the A$AP Mob member. The video account of the exchange is cut off when the judge decides to take a break from the interrogation.
Twelvy's controversial exchange is an unexpected development. The rapper appears to be on A$AP Rocky's side, and even testified that he did not open fire on A$AP Relli the way that Relli is claiming. Twelvy told the court that Rocky actually fired a starter pistol that he kept on him during the alleged encounter with Relli. "He walked around with a prop, like a starter pistol," Twelvy stated. "I seen it on several occasions." The rapper then claimed that the gun was clearly identified as fake before said confrontation went down. "He told him to shoot that fake-ass gun," Twelvy added.
