The Detroit Lions' NFC Divisional Round home game against the Washington Commanders featured a special guest.

Former professional basketball player LiAngelo Ball—the brother of Chicago Bulls point guard Lonzo Ball and Charlotte Hornets standout LaMelo Ball—performed his viral smash hit "Tweaker" during Saturday night's game:

This comes after Ball was seen performing the song during a soundcheck hours before kickoff at Ford Field.

The Lions celebrated earning the NFC No. 1 seed by blasting "Tweaker" in their locker room, so it's no surprise Ball performed on Saturday. The song was officially released on Jan. 4 and debuted at No. 29 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Before starting a burgeoning music career, Ball played in the NBA G-League and in Liga Nacional de Baloncesto Professional in Mexico. He was a member of the Detroit Pistons and Charlotte Hornets organizations during his time in the G-League.

Shams Charania of ESPN reported that Ball has signed a deal with Def Jam and Universal Music Group worth up to $13 million.

The Lions finished the 2024 season with a 15-2 record and a Week 18 victory over the then-14-2 Minnesota Vikings sealed the top seed and a bye into the Divisional Round.
