NLE Choppa is opening up about what pushed him to record his latest diss track, “KO,” aimed at rapper NBA YoungBoy.

In a recent interview, the Memphis rapper described a disturbing dream that he says felt more like a divine warning than random imagery. “It was me holding a young boy’s head in my hand,” Choppa explained. “I was bringing the head to my father in the dream — my dad. The flesh was hanging off the skull, mosquitoes and gnats were biting at it.”

Rather than dismiss the vision, Choppa said he prayed for understanding. The next morning, he felt compelled to act. That moment of clarity, he claims, sparked the creation of “KO,” which dropped on October 30, 2025.
The record takes direct aim at YoungBoy’s influence on the youth, with Choppa accusing the Baton Rouge star of spreading negativity instead of empowerment.

Still, Choppa insists there’s no personal malice — only a message. “It’s not hate,” he said. “It’s correction.”

The diss has reignited long-simmering tension between the two artists, but it also marks another chapter in Choppa’s spiritual evolution. Rebranding himself as “NLE The Great,” he’s been increasingly vocal about faith, meditation, and energy — themes that contrast sharply with the darker edge of the current rap scene.
