In this VladTV Flashback from 2022, NLE Choppa discussed the buzz he built through his early mixtape days and the attention he garnered from many of the major record labels. He described the bidding war labels were engaged over him, and spoke specifically about Birdman attempting to sign him. NLE Choppa said Birdman flew his family and close business associates out to Miami to discuss a deal that was ultimately turned down because it didn't make financial sense for what NLE Choppa was already doing independently.
