NLE Choppa Continues Diss Track Exchange with NBA YoungBoy, Releasing “Hello Revenge”
Memphis rapper NLE Choppa escalated his ongoing feud with NBA YoungBoy on Thursday, November 27, with the release of his new single, “Hello revenge.” The track features direct lyrical attacks and references to previous moments in the public dispute between the two artists, signaling a continued unwillingness to de-escalate the conflict.
the release of “Hello Revenge” arrives amid a back-and-forth exchange of diss tracks that began earlier this month. This beef impacts the landscape of contemporary hip-hop, drawing attention from fans and industry observers alike as two prominent figures publicly challenge each other. NBA YoungBoy is expected to release his new album, Slime Cry, potentially at a later date than the initially announced Friday, November 28, midnight release, while NLE Choppa continues to leverage the controversy to promote his own music.
On “Hello Revenge,” NLE Choppa raps, “Rap went dead, I’ma bring it back alive / Nga, I’m the truth, but the devil is a lie / YB, Louis V.belt to his spine / Anybody with him better get ’em ‘fore he cross the line,nga.” The line referencing a “belt to his spine” is widely interpreted as a callback to NLE Choppa’s October ”IS” video, where he struck a YoungBoy lookalike with a belt.
The new track also addresses the viral “YB better” meme frequently used by YoungBoy’s fans. NLE Choppa responds with the line, “They say, ‘YB better,’ who? I’m the proof that ain’t a statement,” and continues, “They was putting me at two, hmm, change the conversation.”
NBA YoungBoy seemingly responded to NLE Choppa’s earlier diss tracks with “Zero IQ Freestyle” on November 17, including lines like, “Bch, fk you, you ain’t really Five and healin’ all with real gang hs / ‘Respond to him,’ he ain’t never ran nothin’ down, bch, I said, ‘No.'” NLE Choppa previously revealed to Rolling Stone that the inspiration for his initial diss track, “KO,” came from a “vivid dream” where he was “holding a young boy’s head in my hand, and I was bringing the head to my father in the dream.”
