Despite the very public friction between NLE Choppa—now going by NLE The Great—and NBA YoungBoy, an unexpected voice entered the conversation over the weekend: Choppa’s mother, Angela Potts.
YoungBoy has largely stayed silent amid diss tracks and comparisons coming his way from NLE, but Potts sparked widespread reaction after sharing her perspective during a heated rant captured by Livebitez on Instagram. Her comments centered on family disputes involving the mothers of NLE Choppa’s children, whom she accused of blocking contact and spreading false narratives online.
Potts alleged that access to her grandson was being restricted and suggested that claims of abandonment were untrue. She framed the situation as manipulative and driven by personal grievances, saying the conflict had escalated unnecessarily and publicly.
What truly shocked fans, however, was her stance on NBA YoungBoy. Despite her son’s lyrical shots at YB, Potts expressed respect for the Baton Rouge star and insisted there’s no real animosity from her side.
“YB a good artist,” she said, emphasizing that she personally holds no issue with him. At the same time, she made a bombshell allegation—claiming that YoungBoy had been involved with one of the women tied to the family dispute. Potts suggested this history was widely known and criticized the use of the situation for online drama.
It’s important to note that these claims are allegations and remain unverified. Neither NBA YoungBoy nor the individuals mentioned have publicly responded to Potts’ statements.
For context, NLE Choppa took aim at YoungBoy toward the end of last year, bringing years of comparisons and quiet tension into the open. How Potts’ comments connect to that musical feud is unclear, but they add another layer to an already complicated situation.
As it stands, NBA YoungBoy continues to ignore the noise, while NLE Choppa’s camp appears divided—his mother offering praise where fans expected more hostility. One thing is certain: the intersection of rap beef and personal relationships has once again made things messy, and the fallout may not be over yet.
