US rapper NLE Choppa has reaffirmed his commitment to supporting the LGBTQ+ community, responding to a homophobic troll on social media with a powerful message of love and acceptance. Following the release of his popular “Slut Me Out 2” music video, which has garnered significant support from LGBTQ+ fans, Choppa took to social media to express his gratitude and desire to perform at a Pride event.
In a post on X/Twitter, Choppa thanked the LGBTQ+ community, saying, “I want to perform ‘Slut Me Out 2’ at a Pride event in return [for] the love y’all showed me.” His message was met with a derogatory response from an internet troll, who insinuated that the rapper himself is gay. Undeterred, Choppa responded with poise, stating, “I’m secure, I know who I am. Show love, it won’t hurt.”
Choppa continued to challenge the troll, highlighting the inclusivity of the LGBTQ+ community and urging respect for all its members. He emphasized that his music is for everyone, without discrimination. This stance has won him praise from fans who appreciate his inclusive attitude, especially in a genre that has often been criticized for its treatment of LGBTQ+ individuals.
Fans and other social media users commended Choppa for his supportive stance, contrasting him with other rappers who have faced backlash for homophobic remarks. One fan noted, “People are finally realising that homophobia blocks your bag. Something a real man would never do.” Another expressed newfound respect for the rapper, saying, “NLE Choppa has won me over and I give him all the respect. If more people had this mentality, a lot less hate would be spread.”
In previous statements, Choppa has been vocal about his belief in love and acceptance, regardless of societal norms in the rap industry. He has consistently shut down bigoted responses, reinforcing that his expressions of gratitude and support have no bearing on his sexuality. Choppa’s advocacy for the LGBTQ+ community reflects a growing movement within the music industry to embrace diversity and inclusivity.
