A random man has been spending most of his evening bragging on the internet that he knocked out NLE Choppa, but the rapper is contesting his recounting of events. We recently reported on a viral video that showed the Memphis rapper calmly making his way through an airport before he was confronted by a man who asked him to confirm his identity. Then, things quickly escalated and a scuffle ensued.
Initially, not much could be seen from the initial video, but as the hours rolled by, more clips surfaced showing the brief altercation from different angles. It was stated that the attacker is a fan of NBA YoungBoy and accosted Choppa because of the rappers’ rumored beef.
