NLE Choppa Stands Firm In His Support For The LGBTQ Community During Atlanta Pride: “Everybody Is Equal”

NLE Choppa is backing up his support for the LGBTQ community!

Last week, the “Sl*t Me Out” rapper announced that he was attending Atlanta Pride and shared an important message to his followers. He said at the time: “If you’re a person that had something to say about me regarding if I’m gay or if I’m this or that, well, this might make you a little bit angrier or more intrigued as you try to conclude who I am,” he stated. “I know who I am deeply and I appreciate who I am. I will be doing my justice by coming to Atlanta for Black Pride, showing love to the LGBTQ community, which has been one of the best audiences streaming ‘Sl*t Me Out 2.’” He emphasized, “Just as they pour love into me, I am giving that love back.”

True to his word, NLE Choppa made an appearance at The Bank in Atlanta on Sunday. A video captured by @freddyophotos shows him delivering an uplifting message to the crowd before kicking off his performance. Here’s what he had to say:

Choppa has consistently voiced his support for the LGBTQ community, especially following the success of “Sl*t Me Out.” In June, he even committed to performing the track at pride events, further solidifying his stance. Amid the criticism, he has reassured his detractors that his confidence enables him to publicly support the LGBTQ community as a straight man.

“I’m secure; I know who I am. Show love—it won’t hurt. And you do know that women are part of the LGBTQ community, right? Are you going to hate them too?” he responded to a Twitter troll at the time. “At the very least, appreciate the women in that community if everything else makes you uncomfortable, king.”

In another tweet, he asserted, “I don’t care about what’s normalized as a rapper. I was raised to support those who support you! Thank you for appreciating my craft and my music. We stand for no discrimination.”
