Its not really used in the UK. I just heard it on a radio song "I wish I was a little bit taller, I wish I was a baller, I wish I had a rabbit and a hat..."
I'd been pronouncing it b al er (as in AL, the al sounds like the name Al, short for alister)
But is it baller where its simply ball (as in foot-ball) er.
Help me out guys cos theres nothing less baller than pronouncing baller wrong.
So how do you pronounce "Baller"?

Be glad your opponents refuse to fold; if they didn't, you just might go broke.

In the song (I remember that song from at least 10 years ago), it was "baller" rhyming with "taller."
The kiddies these days call it "balla."
By next week nobody will be saying it, if in fact they still say it now.

I wish I was a little bit taller
I wish I was a baller
I wish I had a girl
If I did I would call her
I wish I had a rabbit in a hat
and a bat
And a '64 Impala
I wish I was like six foot nine
so I could get with Leoshi
cuz yo she's really fine
Great song
Hey you, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Ah yes, ain't that fresh
Everybody want to get down like that
I wish I was a baller
I wish I had a girl
If I did I would call her
I wish I had a rabbit in a hat
and a bat
And a '64 Impala
I wish I was like six foot nine
