Balling is a euphemism for sex. It means that she won't have sex with anybody so the artist (Frank) can get more publicity. Not sure who the sex would be with, maybe a magazine publisher or reporter.

That phrase is from We're Only in it for the Money, just before "the first word ti this song is discorporate"

She means I won't fuck DJ's anymore to get your record on the radio. It was the 60's.

Nah. A baller is slang for a basketball player. So she was clearly saying, "I won't do publicity playing basketball for you anymore." That's the only interpretation imo.
