LiAngelo Ball most recently played in the G League during the 2022-23 season.

That said, the 26-year-old has been very relevant over the previous few weeks due to a viral song.

According to ESPN's Shams Charania, Ball has now signed a deal with Def Jam and Universal Music Group.

Via Charania: "LiAngelo Ball has signed a deal with Def Jam and Universal Music Group, a representative from his label Born2Ball Music Group says. Sources said the deal is worth as much as $13 million, with $8 million guaranteed, and gives Ball full ownership of music and his own record label."

Many fans reacted to the news.

@sixthmanjake: "Who would’ve thought Liangelo would be the most successful in the family… wow"

@chemxbeats: "That’s a sweet deal, nowadays most artists don’t get to keep any ownership of their music "

@bj21QB: "Lavar Ball was doing the right thing with his sons all along"
