NLE Choppa was seen getting into a scuffle with a person in an airport who was believed to be an NBA Youngboy fan. The two have been at odds since Youngboy sent subliminal shots at him on a new song. Now, NLE Choppa has addressed the situation, saying the person who approached him didn’t come to him as a fan of Youngboy.
“He came to me as a fan, I could tell, I could tell he was a fan. That's why I was finna deescalate 'cause I had my earphones in and I just didn't hear,” the rapper said. Choppa continued to say, “Nobody scared. It was crazy. He jumped at me and I'm like, 'What the f**k?’ In a split second of me thinking, I was like, man, should I pop on this n***a, man? And I just went ahead and fired on him because I feel like if I would have turned my back and walked off, he would have sucker-punched me or did whatever. So I just went ahead and popped it off 'cause where I'm from--.”
DJ Akademiks then alluded to the person who approached him being a Youngboy fan. Choppa responded by saying, “He wasn't a YoungBoy fan. That's why I hate the media. 'Cause they twist sh*t up.” Watch above.
