Chileee… NLE Might’ve Thrown A Whole Lotta Shade
In NLE Choppa’s freshly released video for ‘KO,’ the Memphis rapper channels a bold Michael Jackson look over a sample of Tupac’s ‘Hit Em Up.’ But it’s one particular moment that’s set social media ablaze. Midway through the visual, a man resembling NBA YoungBoy appears crouched down on a checkerboard floor, dressed in a black hoodie and sweatpants with locks and face tattoos that fans immediately recognized. As NLE stands over him rapping, the internet couldn’t help but call it a sneak diss, claiming the scene symbolically mocked YoungBoy.
Sherhonda Stepped In Like, “Let’s Get One Thing Straight!”
Not long after the video’s release, Sherhonda Gaulden, NBA YoungBoy’s mother, hopped on her Instagram Stories with what many took as a direct response. Though she didn’t name-drop NLE, her message was loud enough to get everyone talking. Fans are debating whether this was harmless creativity or a calculated jab — but one thing’s for sure, Mama Gaulden isn’t letting anyone play with her son’s name.

“I would be upset if this was coming from someone who matters like someone people actually listen…like someone who is not in the closet,” Sherhonda posted along with clown emojis.
Furthermore, she even returned to her Story, adding a jab, saying NLE can’t fill up an arena.
