A confrontation between rapper NLE Choppa and NBA associate Ben 10 in Houston has generated significant attention on social media this week. The incident, which was captured on video, highlights ongoing tensions stemming from Choppa’s recent lyrical disputes with fellow rapper NBA YoungBoy.
The altercation unfolded as Choppa was reportedly leaving a location in Houston. In a viral clip, he can be seen hanging out of a car window while Ben 10 films the encounter. Following the tense exchange, Choppa took to social media to express his views on the incident.
“What type of gangsta pulls up on a man, say they gonna do something to a man, and pull out they phone?” Choppa questioned in a video post. He emphasized his position, stating, “I’m standing here right in the parking lot… I had two n****s on the frontline that would’ve laid y’all down.” He further challenged his opponents, urging them to share any footage from the encounter, asserting, “You n****s ain’t do sh*t to me.”
In response, OG 33, who was present during the confrontation, released a video criticizing Choppa’s actions. “You all on these cameras and then you wait until you pull off to pull out a little baby toy and say, ‘It could go down,'” he remarked, before warning Choppa to refrain from involving him in their disputes.
The feud between NLE Choppa and NBA YoungBoy has escalated over the past several months, particularly following the release of Choppa’s track “KO” in October 2023. In the song, he delivers pointed lines aimed at YoungBoy, including references to violence and confrontation. Choppa has articulated a sense of responsibility in addressing YoungBoy’s actions, explaining to Rolling Stone, “I know you can’t continue to consciously choose a way that’s indifferent to the most highs.”
The escalating tensions between these artists reflect broader dynamics within the music industry, particularly in the hip-hop genre, where rivalries often manifest in both lyrical battles and real-life confrontations. As the situation develops, fans and followers are closely monitoring the artists’ social media activity for further updates.
The incident serves as a reminder of the intense relationships and rivalries that can exist within the music community, highlighting the fine line between artistic expression and personal conflict.
