NLE Choppa continues love affair with the LGBTQ+ community in “Coming Out” post

Yesterday, the rapper posted a few selfies on X (formerly Twitter) with the caption “I’m coming out…”, which left many wondering if he was coming out as gay after showing his love for the LGBTQ+ community throughout his long history.

However, NLE Choppa followed up the post with another one that continued the first, saying, “Out… with 'Or What'!! (OUT NOW)” and “Slut SZN Project SEPT 27.”

So for now, it seems like “coming out” was just releasing new music. However, NLE has continuously shown his love and support for the LGBTQ+ community, and we love him too!

In April, NLE defended itself and the community as he thanked his LGBTGQ+ fans for their love of the song “Slut Me Out 2.”

“I notice the LGBTQ+ community showing so much love for 'Slut Me Out 2' and I just want to say thank you…” he wrote on X at the time. “I don't give a fuck what's normal as a rapper, I was raised to fuck with whoever fucks with you! So thank you all for appreciating my craft… My music is NOT discrimination for EVERYONE we make.”

When a follower replied, “NLE is gay too. Now this shit has gone too far,” NLE wasn't afraid to clap back.

“I'm gay because I show love? Y'all lost, that's why we kill each other every day because you can't show love, and all the time you're the ones who act like that but hide it! I say thank you, I ain't comfortable with my sexuality, Busta.”

NLE Choppa further showed his love for the community when he performed at Atlanta Black Pride earlier this month.

“If you're a person who has had anything to say about me in the last six months about whether I'm gay or whether I'm the F-bomb or whether I'm this or that, well, this might make you a little angrier and you even more infatuated with trying to figure out who I am…” he said in a post on Instagram. “Because I know who I am so deeply and am so grateful for who I am, I'm going to do my justice by coming to Atlanta for Black Pride Fest and showing my love to the LGBTQ+ community for being one of the best audiences that streamed 'Slut Me Out 2.' Just like they give me love, I give love back.”

He later posted a video of his performance at Atlanta Black Pride.

“As 'rappers' we were pushed to move against love. As I grew into an 'artist' I learned to appreciate anyone who LOVES your art,” he wrote in the caption of the video he posted on Insta. “I pray this post makes a difference and gives people comfort to open up there.” [sic] with mind and heart! We all struggle for ACCEPTANCE, no matter who and what your struggle is. God is love and love brings unity. I am a heterosexual man and if you are and know it, then what is the problem? God bless you.”

In the video, he is seen saying that he is not performing at Pride to do a “gimmick” or “get extra viewers,” but to “make a difference and show you all that it's love.”

Even though he doesn't actually come out as gay, we in the community like NLE Choppa.
