NLE Choppa

<p><a href="/profile/souljaboytellem" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Soulja Boy</a> takes being &#8220;the first&#8221; to do something very seriously. He has professed that he was the first rapper to go viral, the first rapper to create a game console, the first rapper to own a star, and a plethora of other things. </p>



<p>So, when <a href="/profile/nle-choppa" class="text-word" target="_blank" >NLE Choppa</a> claimed that he was the first rapper to walk out an NBA team, Soulja took it personally.</p>

<p>On Wednesday, October 19, the 19-year-old led the Memphis Grizzlies to the court for their season&#8217;s opening game against the New York Knicks. As he rapped his first hit song, &#8220;Shotta Flow,&#8221; the team followed behind him until they entered the arena filled with thousands of screaming fans.</p>



<p>Proud of his accomplishment, Choppa, whose real name is Bryson Lashun Potts, expressed his gratitude on Twitter. He shared a clip of the event and wrote, &#8220;First Artist To Walk A NBA Team Out and It Was The Home Team.&#8221;</p>

<p>After seeing his tweet, Soulja Boy replied, &#8220;I been did that 3 years ago,&#8221; accompanied by a YouTube link. In the video, the rapper did a halftime performance for the Los Angeles Clippers.</p>

<p>Choppa replied, &#8220;Let&#8217;s see the proof [laughing emojis] stop the cap.&#8221;</p>



<p>Keeping their antics going, the &#8220;Crank That&#8221; rapper responded, &#8220;[laughing emojis] half time. Walk out. Same thing lol.&#8221; Ultimately, he admitted that NLE was the first rapper to have walked out a team.</p>



<p>&#8220;First rapper to admit he wasn&#8217;t the first rapper. I respect it. Much love,&#8221; he wrote back.</p>
