Nobody could’ve predicted that Gelo was going to be rap’s breakout star of 2025. Following a deal with Def Jam, G3 adds to the momentum of his hit “Tweaker” with the release of the official music on Thursday (Jan. 30).
Gelo (born LiAngelo Ball) rides around Chicago with his brothers Lonzo and LaMelo Ball in a yellow Hummer and then he hops into different luxury cars while partying with some beautiful women in the area. Those scenes were likely shot when LaMelo’s Hornets paid Lonzo’s Bulls a visit in Chi-town on Jan. 17, as Gelo watched his bros hoop with a courtside view.
Other parts of the clip find Gelo rapping bars while conducting a mock press conference which pays homage to his sports roots.
Before the “Tweaker” video comes to a close, he teases some more heat in the stash, which seems to be his next single titled “Can You Please?”
“I got to making the melody like that’s flowing — that’s rocking,” he told previously Billboard of crafting “Tweaker.” “I couldn’t wait to go make [the song]. Then I went and made it and it turned out to what it was. Played it the whole way home. Told my homies, told my brothers like, ‘Yeah, watch out bro — this s–t hard.’”
“Tweaker” exploded onto the scene to give Gelo the first rap hit of 2025. The nostalgic 2000s-feeling track was released on WorldStarHipHop, and snippets caught fire on social media before it went to streaming services on Jan. 3.
Gelo notched a hit when “Tweaker” debuted at No. 29 on the Billboard Hot 100, and it’s still holding strong in the top 40 a few weeks later.
