NLE Choppa Shares Why He’s Performing at LGBTQ+ Event
On Sunday (Sept. 1), NLE Choppa wowed the crowd at The Bank in Atlanta during the city’s Black Pride Weekend, which runs from Aug. 27 to Sept. 2. Amid his set, the Memphis rhymer explained to the crowd why he chose to perform at the LGBTQ+ event. In the video, which can be seen below, NLE says that he decided to perform at the shindig to show others that everyone is equal despite their differences.
“A lot of muthaf**kas will ask me ‘Man, you a rapper, what you doing at a club like this?’ Well I say ‘F**k them ni**as.’ You wanna know why?” NLE told the crowd. “I ain’t gon’ lie, man, every day we wake up and we fight acceptance every day. Whether it’s our skin color, whether if it’s our weight, Whether it’s what our sexuality is.”
“And listen, at the end of the day, I believe in one thing,” he continued. “I feel like everyone is equal, no matter how they drink their water, how they eat their food, how they piss, sh*t or muthaf**kin’ sleep, you feel me?”
“I just wanna let you know I’m not here for no gimmick,” he added. “I’m not here for no extra numbers. I’m not here for no extra views ’cause I already got it if we’re keeping it 100. I’m really here to make a difference and show y’all it’s love.”
