NBA YoungBoy Responds to NLE Choppa in “Zero IQ Freestyle” Amid Ongoing Beef
NBA YoungBoy and NLE Choppa, who now goes by NLE The Great, have maintained a feud for several years. While Choppa previously suggested he wanted to bury the hatchet, his recent diss track “KO” reignited tensions. The track criticized YoungBoy for his supposed influence on younger audiences, even as Choppa framed it as a reluctant gesture of “love” for the Baton Rouge rapper.
YoungBoy’s latest release, “Zero IQ Freestyle,” serves as a subtle response. The track and accompanying YouTube video primarily tackle general haters and personal struggles, but some lines reference the NLE situation. In one verse, YoungBoy raps, “‘Respond to him,’ he ain’t never ran nothing down, b***h, I said, ‘No,’” signaling that ignoring provocation can itself be a form of reply. This approach meets the beef halfway without escalating it fully in a direct diss track.
While other bars in the freestyle could be interpreted as shots at NLE Choppa, most remain broad and non-specific. Fans hoping for an outright confrontation may be left wanting, but YoungBoy seems focused on letting his success speak for itself. Depending on how NLE Choppa continues to engage, a more explicit diss could still emerge in the future.
NLE Choppa has continued to provoke, including placing billboards for “KO” in YoungBoy’s hometown of Baton Rouge and teasing additional material on social media. His recent posts appear to react to the “Zero IQ Freestyle” lines, suggesting a new track may be imminent.
The feud has drawn in family, peers, and online commentators, adding extra layers to the ongoing saga. For now, YoungBoy’s measured response shows he may be prioritizing his career over confrontation, but the situation remains fluid. Fans will be watching closely to see if the beef escalates or cools down in the coming weeks.
