NLE Choppa Responds After Videos Show Him Getting Into Physical Altercation
Written by SOURCE on January 18, 2022
Just weeks after Jason Derulo fought two men who called him Usher, another artist has been caught on video scrapping with an apparent antagonist in public.
In several videos, NLE Choppa can be seen walking through an airport before a man, who the Neighborhood Talk called an NBA YoungBoy fan, approaches him with a camera. The man asks the rapper several times if he is, in fact, NLE Choppa, and gets into his personal space before the MC throws a punch at him.
After that, the two begin to square up as NLE slips on the ground and quickly gets back up, with the man wearing a yellow hoodie continuing to scream at him in the middle of the airport.
“That first swing what left him KNOTTED damn that bitch was [deadly],” NLE later wrote on Twitter in a thread of clips showing the tussle.
The 19-year-old artist didn’t appear to be hit in the altercation, and the short clips don’t give much of an indication as to what happened after the two went face-to-face. Another video of the man in a hoodie shows him on the phone claiming he “popped” NLE Choppa and “knocked him out,” which is not what appears to have happened.
“It’s a difference from getting hit and falling then fighting in flip flops and falling on yo own,” he wrote in a response to the fight, which has since been deleted, per XXL. “I fell throwing a punch Ian get hit til I was otw down and my backpack 20 pounds. Buddy lip swole everything I through connected.”
NLE also claimed his “whole ankle rolled” in the altercation and posted a screenshot of the man’s face, insinuating his lip was swollen.
