NLE Choppa Hilariously Reacts To A Fan Licking Him At A Basketball Game

NLE Choppa is very comfortable with his sexuality and with lewd topics and acts, but even he has his limits when it comes to meeting his fans in person. Moreover, a new TikTok clip is going viral online, and it shows a fan licking him at a basketball game while he was saying hello to his supporters. Once the woman licks the Memphis rapper, you can see him immediately turn away with a comically surprised and almost disgusted face before moving right onto the next fan. Many folks online believe that he could interpret this as sexual assault, and posited that this would become a much more controversial situation if it was from a man to a woman instead of the other way around.

Nevertheless, NLE Choppa appreciates all of his fans, and particularly showed love to the LGBTQIA2+ community during Pride Month for their support of his smash hit, “SLUT ME OUT 2.” “I want to perform Slut Me Out 2 at a pride event in return of the love you all showed me,” he tweeted. “I’m secure, I know who I am,” the 21-year-old clapped back at a homophobic user who replied to this message. “Show love it won’t hurt and also You do know women are apart of the LGBTQ community right you gone hate them too ? I mean at the least appreciate the women in that community if everything else make you uncomfortable king.”

Elsewhere, NLE Choppa also chimed in about the Kendrick Lamar and Drake beef, and he has a pretty “peace and love” approach to it. “I feel like the win is more so not about who got the most streams or what song is the best,” he told Billboard. “I think the win is more so how you handle the success you got from all that controversy. [The] win’ll be like something like both of them coming together and doing a song together. I think the win is doing something similar to when Drake and Meek was having their feud. Like, they did what they did, but they came back as men to shake hands and made a song. That’s what we need to see.”

“I think the win is like, you know, how Kendrick go home and feel about it. How Drizzy will go home and feel about it,” NLE Choppa added. “I think the win would be like both of them coming together and doing a song together, I think that’s one of the most beautiful wins.” “I can kill you on the beat and then I call you and be like ‘Hey bro, I’m done f***ing with you,’” he said of his Blueface beef.

NLE Choppa Proposes That Kendrick Lamar & Drake Should Make Another Collab

We in the media are still fiending for Drake versus Kendrick Lamar takes, and celebrities are still happy to meet and exceed our demands. Moreover, NLE Choppa recently sat down for an interview with Billboard, during which the topic of the most significant rap battle since at least Jay-Z and Nas inevitably came about. He had previously given some takes on the matter, but his latest conclusion is a little bit different to the whole “Why can’t everyone just get along?” narrative. Moreover, the Memphis MC thinks that Aubrey Graham and Mr. Duckworth should team up like they did for “Poetic Justice” almost 12 years ago and drop another song together.

“I feel like the win is more so not about who got the most streams or what song is the best,” NLE Choppa began. “I think the win is more so how you handle the success you got from all that controversy. [The] win’ll be like something like both of them coming together and doing a song together. I think the win is doing something similar to when Drake and Meek was having their feud. Like, they did what they did, but they came back as men to shake hands and made a song. That’s what we need to see.”

NLE Choppa Speaks On Kendrick Lamar & Drake Beef

Whether or not you agree, NLE Choppa’s sentiment is certainly not an uncommon one in the rap game, although this sentiment of healing doesn’t match the skeptical perspective that others have of Kendrick Lamar and Drake potentially burying the hatchet. For example, T.I. and Chuck D both posited for very different reasons that they might go on tour together sometime in the future. In Tip’s case, he called the rap battle the most “exacerbated” of all time, so his commentary might point to the inevitability of chasing the biggest moment possible. This year, it was beef, but in a couple more, it could be reconciliation.

Just think of the moment that Drake and Kanye West created with their Free Larry Hoover benefit concert. Chuck D seems more hopeful as far as what that buried hatchet would mean for hip-hop culture, but it’s tough to call. After all, K.Dot and The Boy went really hard at each other. But would it really be that surprising if they chase a bag down the road or have a few more years to mature?

NLE Choppa Affirms That He Makes His Raunchiest Songs While Celibate

We may have an explanation as to why NLE Choppa has been in his freakiest mindset of his career. According to HipHopDX, the exuberant Memphis, Tennessee rapper made a hilarious guest appearance on the Fame & Flavor cooking show, hosted by social media figure Cugine. He himself is an entertaining voice on the internet so this collaboration was much needed. The YouTube series, ran by RapTV, is now six episodes in and it sees Cug chef up some dishes alongside rappers. NLE Choppa popped out for the most recent video, and in it, he says that when he makes raunchy tracks, it is due to him being celibate.

While making a “rasta pasta” dish, the hitmaker says when he is not getting intimate with someone, he gets down and dirty with the beat. “I make my most freakiest songs when I’m celibate. I just f*** the beat, ya feel me?” Of course, that had the entire set laughing. In the interview, he is making allusions to his recent sex positive track is “SLUT ME OUT 2,” the follow-up to the original which remains to be one of his most popular tracks.

Later on in the video, NLE asks Cugine about the backlash he has been receiving for said record. “If you was a bad b****, would you f*** you?” Choppa inquired. Cug said he would as well and that is when NLE responded with confusion. “Exactly! So why is everybody tripping?!” To be fair, he has surprisingly not caught a ton of flak for bringing his parents onstage to perform “SLUT ME OUT 2” live. It has been one of the more shockingly wholesome moments this year.

What are your thoughts on NLE Choppa claiming to make his freakiest songs like “SLUT ME OUT 2” while celibate? Do you think he is getting too much hate, as well as the song, why or why not? Which one do you prefer the most and why? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.

NLE Choppa Showcases His First Signature Shoe In Video For New Single “Stickin And Movin”

People can criticize NLE Choppa until the cows come home. But one thing you cannot knock him for is his positive nature. The Memphis MC has been extremely vocal online about spreading love, as well as being open and honest about his sexuality. For only being 21 years old, the “Walk Em Down” rapper shows a lot of maturity and seems to have developed a solid moral compass.

He is really thriving and part of the reason for that is the number of big tracks he has released. 2023 is going to be a tough year to beat, but NLE Choppa seems to be up to the challenge. He has just dropped a new track called “Stickin And Movin,” which follows up is hilariously raunchy and sex-positive cut “SLUT ME OUT 2.” Besides following up a highly-discussed single, this song is a big deal because it helps celebrate a tremendous fashion industry accomplishment.

He has recently come out with his first signature shoe collaboration and since unveiling it, it has sold out already. You can click the “[Via]” link at the bottom of the page to check out the design of what is called the DUCK BOOT. It is a joint project with FCTRY LAb and it sold for $250.00. The silhouette is quite controversial, sort of reminiscent of the MSCHF Big Red Boots. Choppa took the time to thank everyone on IG for helping him sell out these yellow stompers. “THEY THOUGHT IT WOULDN’T WORK 🤣‼ Well Guess What ? WE JUST SOLD OUT MY FIRST SHOE!! Big Thank You To My Fans, Huge Thank You To My Partners @fctrylab ! Always Remember Anything’s Possible When Gods Giving The Strength 💪🏽🐥🐥🐥🐥

NLE Choppa And LeVeon Bell Have Serious Beef Over Duck Shoes

LeVeon Bell, the former NFL player who is now a rapper, and NLE Choppa seem to be developing a slight beef over some Duck Boots and jersey sales. The Memphis rapper released two new songs on Friday: “Stickin And Movin” and his joint Duck Boot sneaker with Fctry Labs, which he noted on Instagram as selling out. But given that Bell openly mocked Choppa’s supporters in a quoted Twitter response about the $250 sneakers, it doesn’t seem like everyone was as thrilled about the shoes’ arrival as Choppa’s fans were.

Bell wrote in a tweet, “& ppl boutta buy them ugly ass boots too [Face-palm emoji].” “Imma sale more boots then you sold jersey how much u wanna bet?” was Choppa’s retort to Bell after he took offense. The two rappers are now having a healthy beef over the $250 shoes. Fans on both sides seem to be having a good time watching the two personalities clash over the Duck sneakers.

Bell successfully responded to NLE Choppa’s tweet, which it seemed he took seriously, by making a TikTok video in which he formally the rapper to a sales competition and made fun of his sneakers. “All right y’all, we have a fried one,” Bell said while laughing. “NLE Choppa is fried. Have y’all seen his boots? Hold on. These are the boots. These are the boots.” Bell continued to stunt on Choppa, flexing his NFL career. He said, “NLE Choppa, I don’t think you understand, bro. I’ve been doing this for a long time.”

Bell went in, saying, “Literally from 2014 to 2017, I was in top five jersey sales at the NFL for like three to four years straight. Then I had free agency and went to a new team with the Jets, and then my Jersey sales went even crazier with a new team. And then after that I went from the Jets to the Kansas City Chiefs.” Bell seems to have taken the jersey sales comment to heart. He concluded by saying, “Bro, I was the last infinity ring for the gauntlet bro,” he said before adding, “So someone told this freaky guy, this freaky little rapper, whatever you want to put up for the bet we can do. I like me.” Overall, the NLE Choppa Leveon bell beef is hilarious and might sell both jerseys and shoes in the process.

NLE Choppa Takes Absurdity To New Heights With NSFW Single “SLUT ME OUT 2”

There have been a few rappers lately that have been unapologetic in their music when it comes to their sexuality. One of those is energetic Memphis, Tennessee MC NLE Choppa. Last year, we saw the still 21-year-old dropped songs like “College Girls,” “IT’S GETTING HOT,” a remix of Nelly’s classic, and “SLUT ME OUT.” The latter of those now has a sequel, as NLE Choppa has decided to drop “SLUT ME OUT 2.”

This original version landed on his 2023 project Cottonwood 2, which saw its release nearly a year ago to the day, April 14. In that fairly short period, the sexually-charged song has surprisingly racked up over 322 million streams. To be fair though, it does have a fire beat and Choppa does bring some creative flows and an animated performance. For this next installment, NLE somehow turns things up a notch on “SLUT ME OUT 2.”

It is truly impossible to include all of the absurdly funny lyrics but here is a small sample of them. “If I was a bad b****, I’d wanna hump me too, hmm (No Diddy) / I’d wanna trap me too, hmm (No Diddy) / Nothin’ freaky that I wouldn’t do to me (No Diddy).” The reference to all of the jokes surrounding the rapper’s plethora of legal issues is far from the most hilarious bars on the song.

Flau’jae & NLE Choppa Team Up For Uber-Confident “AMF”

Flau’jae and her LSU Tigers are doing a good job defending their title so far in the March Madness tournament. The three seed has taken out each opponent, (14) Rice and (11) Middle Tennessee State, by double digits. Against the latter program, they wound up pulling away in quarters three and four, thanks in part to Louisiana State’s star guard. She posted 21 points, four rebounds, two assists, a steal, and a pair of blocks. Number four was also efficient, shooting 60% from the field, 50% from three, and 80% at the free throw line.

To help celebrate reaching the Sweet 16 again on Friday, Flau’jae decided to drop a new song “AMF.” However, this is not just a solo single, though. NLE Choppa, a first-time collaborator, joined her in the recording booth for this boastful banger. If you take a look at the lyrics, there could be a subtle shot toward Middle Tennessee State.

Listen To “AMF” By Flau’jae & NLE Choppa

I walked in so it’s up, it ain’t my fault / Hella tears in the lobby, it ain’t my fault,” Flau’jae raps. This could be a subtle reference to the star player who fouled out in the third quarter after getting tangled up with Angel Reese. A video went viral where she got really upset walking back to the bench after picking up her fifth and final foul. So much so in fact, that she wound up crying as she had to watch on from the sideline the rest of the way. “AMF” could have been made before that happened, but it is all up for speculation.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new single, “AMF,” by Flau’jae and NLE Choppa? Do you think she can have a stable rap career regardless if she goes to the WNBA, why or why not? Is this one of her better songs as of late, why or why not? Do you think a new project is on the way soon?
