NLE Choppa is preparing for his Atlanta Black Pride Weekend on Sunday night and hopped on social media to explain his appearance.
“If you’re a person that had something to say about me these last six months regarding if I’m gay or if I’m a f-bomb or if I’m this or if I’m that, well, this might make you a little bit more madder, or make you more infatuated, when trying to come to a conclusion of who I am,” he told his followers.
It seems some of his fans feel the rapper, who is not a member of the LGBTQ community, should grace the stage, but NLE Choppa promised to do his justice by attending Pride while promoting his single ‘Slut Me Out 2.’”
He continued: “So the same way that they’re pouring love into me is the same way that I’m giving back love. And I’mma let y’all judge me again and say what y’all want to say about me, ’cause y’all are going to say what y’all are going to say regardless.”

NLE Choppa hails from Memphis, Tennessee and rose to fame with his 2019 single “Shotta Flow”, which received platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and peaked within the top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100. The song preceded the release of his debut extended play (EP), Cottonwood, in December of that year. Potts signed with Warner Records to release his debut studio album Top Shotta (2020), which peaked within the top ten of the US Billboard 200 and was supported by the top 40 singles “Camelot” and “Walk Em Down” (featuring Roddy Ricch). His fourth and fifth mixtapes, From Dark to Light (2020) and Me vs. Me (2022) preceded the release of his second studio album Cottonwood 2 (2023), which contained his highest-charting single, “Slut Me Out” (remixed featuring Sexyy Red).
