Chrisean Rock Shares Her Thoughts On NLE Choppa Name-Dropping Her In A New Song

Earlier this week, NLE Choppa shared his new single “Shotta Flow 7” which is perfectly in line with his hard-hitting style. But right out of the gate with one of the first lyrics on the song he makes a joke at Chrisean Rock’s expense. The first line on the first verse reads “I was missin’ the action like Chrisean tooth.” The joke was made about Chrisean’s notoriously missing tooth, though it doesn’t exactly have a punchline or a clever payoff.

Now, Chrisean herself is responding to the song. She caught wind of it via a clip of the lyric on Instagram where she left behind a comment. “This is so random ppl will just mention me saying anything,” she comments alongside a crying laughing emoji. Even though she doesn’t really seem to care, fans responding to her comment feel like she’s downplaying things. “She loves the attention actually and she getting on my nerves now,” one comment reads. But others think she should try and take on the song’s instrumental herself. “Put her on the remix and get her a bag for her and the baby cuz she could do this beat,” one of the top comments on the post reads. Check out the snippet from the song where Choppa mentions Chrisean below.

Chrisean Rock Responds To NLE Choppa

Chrisean Rock has had a busy few weeks that started with the alleged kidnapping drama between her and Blueface. It began when Blue posted about having to go pick up the pair’s child late at night because Chrisean wasn’t around. When she gave her point of view on the events later on she had a very different story. Rock claimed that Blue actually kidnapped their child and the drama began to spiral from there online.

That led Chrisean Rock to share some concerning posts to social media. She had fans worried for her safety after making claims about dying being easier than staying alive. Thankfully she pivoted to something more wholesome when she shared a video reading bible verses to her baby. What do you think of Chrisean Rock’s response to NLE Choppa mentioning her in his new song? Let us know in the comment section below.

NLE Choppa Sings Chris Brown Track, Much To The Internet’s Amusement

NLE Choppa, like many folks out there, is a big Chris Brown fan, and he makes that admiration pretty clear online and in public outings, such as when they played basketball together. However, his most recent example of Breezy fandom has some fans in tears, others with genuine admiration, and a few who think he shouldn’t try too hard. Moreover, the Cottonwood 2 rapper sang the R&B star’s track “Under The Influence” in a new social media video. We have to give him props: he gives it his all and stays (mostly) on key. Plenty of folks have that MC/singer duality, but it’s even more exciting to see it develop from someone you didn’t expect in that lane.

Furthermore, this also happened to 21 S*vage, who’s made a name for himself for trying to show off his pipes. Whether it’s on social media or at an Usher concert, NLE Choppa certainly has steep competition in this regard. Many folks in the comments section of The Neighborhood Talk‘s coverage of this Chris Brown cover demanded a collaboration between the two. Furthermore, maybe they can make a mixtape of sorts with other rappers who you’d never expect to sing some soulful jams on wax.

Jokes aside, though, the Memphis hitmaker is still quite proficient in his own lane. Perhaps he needs just a little bit more practice before he can hope to reach Chris Brown levels of vocal dexterity, at least in melodic and technical terms. But recent singles and collabs like the 21-year-old’s “Ice” with producers Aarne and Imanbek show that he’s still got that fire in him. Still, maybe this is just the start of a new phase in his career, or it’s just a fan being a fan.

Meanwhile, Chris Brown just released a new album 11:11, and it looks like it’ll perform pretty well on the charts. More importantly, though, it gave die-hard fans another collection of melodically engaging cuts with sultry production. Hopefully this isn’t the last C.B. cover that rappers bring us. For more news and the latest updates on NLE Choppa, stay up to date on HNHH.

NLE Choppa Teams Up With Producers, Aarne And Imanbek, For “Ice”

NLE Choppa is still one of the hottest rappers in the game right now. He might not be on the popularity level of Drake, Kendrick Lamar, or J. Cole, but his fanbase is quite substantial. In fact, he currently sits at just under 20 million monthly listeners. That is good enough for 304th in the world, according to Spotify. While it might not sound all that impressive, there are obviously so many artists out there, and being in the top percentile is a great accomplishment.

We bring up his expanding fanbase because he is branching out of the United States for new collaborations. For example, this year, the Memphis rapper recently worked alongside Gambi, a popular French rapper who has a few hits under his belt. They put out the fast-paced single, “Bonjour,” earlier this year. Now, he is sticking with more European talent for a new single, “Ice.”

Listen To “Ice” By Imanbek, Aarne, And NLE Choppa

However, Choppa is not sharing the mic this time. Instead, he is working with two producers. Those are Imanbek and Aarne. Imanbek has been in the studio a lot with SAINt JHN, Marshmello, Rita Ora, and more. He was born in Kazakhstan. Then, Aarne, who is from Romania, has worked with lesser-known names, but he does have a song with Famous Dex. “Ice” was featured on Aarne’s latest record, AA LANGUAGE 2 as “ice ice ice.” However, it has just gotten a rerelease as a single with a little bit longer runtime.

What are your initial thoughts on this brand-new song by NLE Choppa, Imanbek, and Aarne, “Ice?” Is this one of Choppa’s better features this year? Is the beat one of the better trap instrumentals of 2023? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this. With that in mind, be sure to leave all of your hottest takes in the comments section below. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest breaking news around NLE Choppa, as well as all of the best song drops.

Quotable Lyrics:

Police say, “Freeze,” my diamonds doin’ it
P***y piercin’ on her cat, man, I spent a couple racks on it
Fat mama poking, see it when approachin’
Choke a chain, chokin’, pull on it while I stroke it
Uh, she like, “Ice me out,” ayy
I’m like, “Eat it up,” yeah

DDG Smacks Sukihana While Filming NLE Choppa’s New Movie: Watch

If you didn’t already know, NLE Choppa recently released his new film project, Nightmare on Cottonwood, and it’s a doozy. Moreover, it stars a lot of viral stars: Funny Marco, Kai Cenat and Fanum of AMP (who Choppa recently went to “prison” with), and most notably for this story, DDG and Sukihana. Furthermore, a new behind-the-scenes clip shows the cast and crew in which the rapper, in ghost form, smacks Suki from behind. After the scene wraps, you can hear them and a lot of other team members break out in laughter, and it’s heartening to see them have a good time.

In fact, this is far from the only recent screen exploit that Sukihana enjoyed recently, although the other one is definitely more contentious. She recently joined the cast of Baddies East as a replacement at Natalie Nunn’s request, and it was chaotic to say the least. Still, that wasn’t the Delaware native’s fault, as a lot of other moving pieces made it a hectic episode. What’s more is that she was one of three additions, which all had their own storylines and feuds to handle on the Zeus Network program.

Sukihana & DDG Have A Ball While Filming Nightmare On Cottonwood: Watch

On the other hand, Sukihana’s costar DDG might have just found a new venture with this film stuff. After all, it seems like music- or hip-hop, at least- isn’t inspiring him like it used to, especially as he gains more career aspirations, exposure, and more. On Saturday (November 4), the YouTuber and MC asked for more rock-and-roll beats, labeling rap as “dry” and in need of a revamp. Maybe that’s a bit too much to handle for purists, but that’s the advantage that the genre has over any other musical offering: hip-hop can find inspiration and sonic innovation anywhere.

Meanwhile, NLE Choppa also might be tapping into the TikTok NPC livestream world, expanding his media presence. It didn’t go super well with PinkyDoll, but hey, there’s always next time. If you haven’t seen Nightmare on Cottonwood yet, you can find it on the rap artist’s YouTube channel. On that note, stay posted on HNHH for more news and the latest updates on Choppa, DDG, and Sukihana.

NLE Choppa & Mike Jones Clash Over ‘Still Tippin’ Sample Copyright, Igniting Social Media Feud

Mike Jones NLE Choppa

NLE Choppa and Houston rap legend Mike Jones were engaged in a social media dispute over a sample used in Choppa’s song, “C’mon Freestyle.” The Memphis rapper alleges that Jones’ team copyrighted his song despite initially clearing the sample. The back-and-forth between the two artists has sparked a heated debate among fans and followers. ‘C’mon […]

Mike Jones Responds To NLE Choppa’s Call-Out Over Sample Issues

Samples are pretty much everything in hip-hop: its lifeblood and point of origin, an indelibly useful creative tool, and a commercial headache. Moreover, we always hear about clearance disputes, royalty splits, and so much more when one artist wants to use another’s song. While that can sometimes be more attributed to the labels or management that these MCs work with, sometimes the beef can get in between the artists themselves. That’s what happened recently with NLE Choppa and Mike Jones, as the former called the latter out for copyrighting a sample that he already cleared: his song “Still Tippin’,” which became the instrumental for Choppa’s “CMON” freestyle. Now, Jones clapped back.

“Don’t care about getting respect,” Mike Jones responded to NLE Choppa’s complaints. “Especially if the respect wasn’t shown 4 months ago prior to releasing the music without getting the business clear! I told y’all #Welcome2TheMusicBusiness #StayTuned For Receipts & I wish a N***A Would!!!!” In fact, if you look up the Memphis MC’s freestyle, it’s no longer available due to this copyright claim. This means that this isn’t a situation in development or discussion in the legal world; it just happened quickly.

Furthermore, this is what NLE Choppa had to say to Mike Jones when this copyright claim came through. “Ion know if it’s Mike jones or his team but on everything y’all dead wrong for trying to copyright a song I cleared,” he expressed on Twitter. “That’s some hating s**t especially for a young n***a like me that’s just tryna please his fans. Ion feel that I lost d*mb respect but it’s cool fasho!” What’s funny is that this isn’t the first time that Jones in particular shut down remixes to his songs much to the public dismay of the sampling artist, as this happened to rapper BiC Fizzle with the exact same song earlier this year.

Meanwhile, what do you think of this whole debacle? Is Choppa right to be so indignant or is it time for people to pump the brakes on reckless or undue sampling? However you may feel, let us known the comments section down below. Also, stay up to date on HNHH for the latest news and updates on Mike Jones and NLE Choppa.

NLE Choppa Adds Another Nine New Tracks To “Cottonwood 2 (Deluxe 2.0)”

On October 20, multiple publications, including us, reported that NLE Choppa’s mother, Angela Potts, was extremely concerned about her son’s whereabouts. Many were concerned, especially his mother. However it was more of false alarm, as NLE went back to his old neighborhood of Cottonwood to work on music. His debut project is pays homage to it as well as his most recent LP. In fact, NLE filmed a music video there for a hot freestyle and single, “CMON FREESTYLE.”

It saw the rapper perform like the rent was due and it lands on his newest project. Cottonwood 2 came out back in April and it already received the deluxe treatment just three days later. Now, we have a second expanded edition with Cottonwood 2 (Deluxe 2.0). The first deluxe tacked on nine new songs and so does this one.

NLE Choppa’s Mother Shares Update On His Well-Being After Rumors He Was Missing

NLE Choppa fans recently expressed a lot of concern online after rumors suggested that he went missing. Moreover, it stems from his mother, Angela Potts, who asked fans if they had any information on his whereabouts on Friday (October 20). “Y’all help me pray over my child,” she expressed on Instagram. “He plans on moving back to Cottonwood where we worked hard to get out of just for a mixtape SMH! I ain’t talked to this boy in hours and he usually doesn’t do this. One thing I know about my son is that he doesn’t go ghost for any reason. Whatever your working on I pray GOD is guiding you. If y’all hear from him PLEASE CONTACT ME ASAP ! To the fans he wants to please thanks a lot.”

“Contact Momma Choppa via instagram if you hear from NLE Choppa ! -Management,” the Memphis MC’s Twitter account posted shortly after. Of course, this prompted thousands on social media to send their well-wishes and try to find any possible information on NLE Choppa. Even though this was a mostly speculative situation, the fact it came from the most firsthand source imaginable gave it a lot of credence. Fortunately, it seems like things are much better now, and his mother came through with another, more assuring message in the post-midnight hours of Saturday (October 21).

“Thank you for the PRAYERS and SUPPORT,” Potts wrote on social media. “Choppa’s ok he just needed a minute, but didn’t communicate it to his love ones. I never intended to scare anyone with my post nor did I expect for people to think he is missing. But the frustrations of being the mother of a celebrity can be a bit much and overwhelming at times.”

Meanwhile, it seems like this was just an unprompted or unclear break in communication and nothing more. Now, the 20-year-old can go back to firing off against haters as he continues to develop his career. It’s heartening that this will not be a saddening headline, and that this family was able to be assured of his safety. For more news and the latest updates on NLE Choppa, come back to HNHH.
