LaVar Ball puts self-deprecating spin on ‘What is Love’ weeks after getting foot amputated

LaVar Ball is all smiles after getting his foot amputated.

The Big Baller Brand co-founder posted a video to Instagram on Wednesday of himself dancing to Haddaway’s “What Is Love” in what appears to be his dining room. 

The famous NBA dad even put a self-deprecating spin on the familiar song lyrics.

“What is love? Baby, don’t hurt me, don’t hurt me, my foot!” Ball sang pointing to his amputated leg. 

LaVar ends the video with a slight smirk, crossing his arms in his “BBB” logo’d shirt.

News surfaced last month that LaVar — the father of NBA players LaMelo and Lonzo, as well as rapper LiAngelo, recently underwent a procedure to have his right foot removed. 

At the time, TMZ reported that LaVar was said to be in great spirits and doing well. 

Just days later, that report appeared to ring true, when LaVar was seen in a TikTok video posted by Primby, saying, “Everyone heard what happened and y’all can take my foot, but you know what you can’t take? That Primby account,” with a smile on his face.

LaVar finished the video by singing the chorus of LiAngelo’s song “Tweaker.”

LaMelo, the Hornets’ star, posted a picture on Instagram of him and his father before a game against the Lakers.

“Seen my dawg b4 da game it was only right i love u pops 5L and after,” LaMelo wrote on the platform.
