Gelo — AKA LiAngelo Ball — is fairly positive he can beat Cam’ron in each rap and basketball. On Thursday (Jan. 30), throughout a sit-down with Speedy Morman for “360 with Speedy,” the previous Charlotte Hornets participant took a swipe on the Dipset legend months after their preliminary back-and-forth.
“That don’t hassle me,” Gelo stated of his earlier feud with Cam’ron, wherein the “Oh Yeah” artist joked about him theoretically having to play basketball in China. “I simply handle it as a result of I’m not finna get punked for nothing. They don’t know me in any respect.”
“I believe I rap colder than him. [In] basketball, [I’m] colder than them n**gasoline,” the 26-year-old doubled down. Morman didn’t precisely disagree, particularly contemplating Gelo’s expertise on the courtroom. He stated, “I’m not happening on-line like, ‘I’m higher than Cam’ron,’ [but] I really feel that method… That’s their legend, for actual. I’m not disrespecting.”
Humorous sufficient, Gelo’s points with Cam’ron started just a few months earlier than “Tweaker” took over the web. The 2 exchanged photographs over the JBA champion hooping abroad as a substitute of following his brothers, Lonzo and LaMelo Ball, into the NBA. “I solely know you ’trigger your father’s an awesome marketer, n**ga. I wouldn’t know you if it wasn’t for LaVar Ball,” the Harlem rapper stated on “It Is What It Is.”
Earlier in his dialog with Morman, Gelo cleared the air about his rumored $13 million cope with Def Jam Recordings. “I personal all my music,” he stated. “I informed them, ‘I’m right here not for the [games].’ You know the way music stuff can get, so I actually locked in. We’re not letting it go down that route, and my group helped me put the perfect factor collectively.”
“They stated that’s the perfect music contract. Don’t hate me, bro. We’re simply out right here getting it,” Gelo added. When requested if the numbers floating round have been true, the Los Angeles native joked that he walked away with not less than “10 bucks,” which, realizing him, presumably meant $10 million.
Gelo is scheduled to carry out at Rolling Loud California in March, the place he’ll be part of an already star-studded lineup that includes the likes of Playboi Carti, Sexyy Purple and ASAP Rocky, amongst others. If all goes as deliberate, followers may get the long-awaited “Tweaker (Remix)” earlier than then.
