NLE Choppa made headlines last week when he released his visuals to the NBA YoungBoy diss track, “KO.”
On the track, Choppa accuses YoungBoy of poisoning the youth with his music. Fans felt the diss track came out of nowhere, but in a recent interview with Rolling Stone, he denied it.
“The dream was me holding a young boy’s head in my hand, and I was bringing the head to my father in the dream — my dad,” he told the outlet. “And when I woke up from my sleep, I wanted to pray about the dream, and I started to seek what the dream meant. And going into that space of prayer, I knew it was time.”
He said he was at first confused by the dream, but it was so visceral that he couldn’t shake it, so he asked God for clarity.
“So when I woke up, I went into prayer about what it was,” Choppa continued. “And I didn’t know what to interpret at first, so I tried not to lean on my own understanding. Within prayer I got the words and the things I needed to hear. After that it was just execution. I never want to feel like my devotion is questioned. So the steps were ordered, and I did them.”
Released four days ago, the video currently has over 4 million views.
YoungBoy, whose MASA Tour recently made over $70 million, has not responded.
