NLE Choppa unveiled a bald new look and dropped “Messiah (Devil’s Diss)” while reflecting on his past self.
I’m starting to wonder what’s really going on with NLE Choppa. The young Memphis rapper is clearly going through a transformation, and whatever this new version of himself is, it’s intentional. But it’s also cryptic.
First thing that caught everyone’s attention? The bald head. Yeah, Choppa shaved off all his hair. Then, in the background of several new photos, you’ll notice images of Tupac. One of them even shows Pac with a shaved head. Coincidence? Doubtful.
Dig a little deeper and you’ll find a separate page where he shared what appears to be a letter to his former self. It’s not completely clear what he means, but to me it feels like he’s closing a chapter and stepping into something new. Aren’t we all doing that in some way?
He dropped a new joint, as I was writing this. The track is called “Messiah (Devil’s Diss)”. Check it out below and let me know what you think.
Also, here’s that letter he wrote to himself in full and his new name: NLE THE GREAT!
“Note to past self:
Thank you. Your efforts didn’t go in vain in any way, shape or form. Your hard work toward getting in alignment is the reason I’m able to write this right now. A soldier is what you are. Even though it was rough—literally blood, sweat and tears went into this journey—I’m proud to say it was worth it.
A chapter of my life is closing. Restoration in a chapter of my life is beginning.
The one.
Any way for me to be able to be the word of the Most Highest—to detach from the old, you welcome the new. I am honored, I am grateful, I am ready. I am made whole.
All praise be to Allah.
Thank you, Bryson. Amen.”
