A three-star recruit coming out of high school, Ball attempted a career in basketball before trying his hand at music. Tweaker was released in January, and it’s been met with joy from many athletes. After the Lions beat the Minnesota Vikings in Week 18 to clinch the NFC’s No. 1 seed heading into the playoffs, receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown was heard on video in the postgame locker room shouting, “Put that Gelo on!”
The Lions used St. Brown’s quote on the big screen at Ford Field during their introduction of Ball.
