Lonzo Ball took some heat for opinions about rap music last week, but now that he’s officially a rapper those opinions can be recategorized as “beef.”
The Los Angeles Lakers rookie dropped his first single on iTunes on Friday. Ball’s first single is called “Melo Ball 1,” and it’s about his brother and his shoes.
“I’m the king, little bro a prince,” Ball raps at one point.
As Complex points out, it’s the same song that accompanied his youngest brother’s shoe announcement last month.

The song has a feature from Kennith Page on it, who also produced the track.
We already knew that Lonzo liked to rap, but this frames the whole Nas argument he made on Ball in the Family much more interesting. Ball took some heat for saying that no one listens to Nas anymore, saying that Migos and Future are “real rap” these days. That got Nas’s manager to fire back at Ball, which sets up a brand new rapper with a brand new beef.
Maybe Ball’s next single steps outside of the family branding for a moment and lets him take aim at Nas or some other artists that no one listens to anymore. He might get cursed for it, though.
