Cam’ron has pointed the finger at basketball player-turned-rapper LiAngelo Ball for the Detroit Lions’ shock playoff loss to the Washington Commanders.
Ball has been making waves in recent weeks with his viral track, “Tweaker,” and was invited to perform the song at halftime during Sunday’s game, which the Lions lost 45-31, despite having a league-best record of 15 wins in the regular season.

In a voice message posted on Instagram, the It Is What It Is co-host blamed Ball entirely for the Lions’ surprise elimination from the playoffs.
He said: “Y’all was feeling y’all self and I had y’all back all season. And you know what fucked up everything? Y’all let Gelo Ball perform at halftime. What the fuck was that about?”
Cam went on to suggest other Detroit natives that the team could have booked to perform: “Y’all coulda had Eminem, y’all coulda had Big Sean. Y’all n-ggas fucked it all up. And this is the result of it. Sorry.”
Despite his harsh criticism, Cam’ron recently admitted he is a fan of LiAngelo Ball’s viral hit, which recently secured the former G League player a lucrative $8 million deal with Def Jam and Universal Music Group.
He said on an episode of It Is What It Is: “I never said Gelo can’t rap. I said he can’t play basketball. He should’ve been starting this shit.

“Gelo, I like the single. You know I’m from the 2000s. You sound like you were down with Cash Money, Juvie, B.G., Lil Wayne, Baby, Mannie Fresh. That sounds like your lane. You should’ve been doing the soundtrack to your brother’s life.”
Cam and Ball previously traded shots after the Dipset legend rubbished the 26-year-old’s basketball skills and mocked him for not being good enough to make it in the NBA.
Ball fired back on his own podcast What an Experience and dismissed Cam’s rap career: “‘Suck It Or Not’ with Lil Wayne, that’s all I remember from you.”
He added: “I’ve never talked to someone and you’ve been in [their] top five, top 10, bro. I’ve never heard your name in no rap convo.”

Killa later compared LiAngelo to Michael Jackson‘s lesser-known siblings: “I’m not arguing with Tito Jackson […] I ain’t even gonna him Tito, either. He Rebbie Jackson.”
