NLE Choppa has issued a response to claims he got cold feet and decided to back out of his boxing match against Blueface.
But in a new video shared to his X account, the ‘Shotta Flow’ rapper says that couldn’t be further from the truth.
To catch you up to speed, on Thursday (January 5), the idea of a boxing match came about, one day after Blueface released the remix to Jaidyn Alexis’ song, ‘Barbie.’
In his verse, the Thotiana artist name-drops not just NLE but also his child’s mother, Marissa Da’Nae.
He previously alleged that the socialite passed him her phone number at a party they both attended in November.
In the song, Blueface doubled down on his accusations about Marissa trying to hook up with him. “Oh, NLE baby mama wanna go/ Why are you lying about the number?” He raps. “You know I got the digits/ I ain’t never pulled it out and ain’t have a b***h to kiss it,”
Needless to say, NLE felt triggered and publicly told Blueface not to speak about his personal business.
On Thursday (January 4), the 21-year-old escalated things by challenging the Zeus Network star to a boxing match, with the intent of settling their differences once and for all.
Responding without hesitation, Blueface stood on business and said he had accepted the offer. The LA rapper seemingly couldn’t contain his anticipation for the event as he began promoting the match by sharing flyers on his social media pages.
However on Friday (5th January), Blueface seemed to ruin their plans to have a boxing fight when he appeared on Instagram Live to tell fans that NLE Choppa was trying to pull out. He said, “The n**ga started putting things in motion like, ‘Wait! I didn’t negotiate the terms of my deal.’ Like what?” It’s because the n**ga is a Muslim, he’s a vegan and he’s crip. The Memphis native responded, “How the f**k did you get a flyer the next day with me and your face on it and I asked you to fight?” How the f**k did you get a flyer the next day with me and your face on it and I asked you to fight?” The Memphis native responded.
“So now you’re on some clout-chasing s**t. We ain’t negotiated nothing.“
Additionally, NLE also took issue with Blueface trying to rush into things by immediately setting up a boxing match when he has more experience than him in the ring.
