Previews of the episode show the Los Angeles Lakers rookie pretending to be a rapper in front of dancers while mouthing Migos' "Bad and Boujee."

Lonzo Ball sports a studded black leather jacket, some sunglasses, silver chains and dreadlocks during the performance. The 20-year-old was the No. 2 overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft out of UCLA. He is averaging 10.2 points, 7.1 assists and 7.1 rebounds during his rookie campaign. He is currently benched due to a sprained left MCL.

"When the camera is rolling, he gotta know he going to go down," LaVar Ball said in a clip for the episode. "The Big Baller ain't gonna let you stay around. Because there are only two bad suckers and I keep telling them, I'm both of them."

While the boisterous father has gained plenty of notoriety for his flurry of words, the oldest Ball brother is trying to make a lyrical name for himself. Lonzo Ball has released several rap singles.
