NLE Choppa has ignited the next chapter of his escalating feud with NBA YoungBoy, unloading a blistering new diss track titled “Hello Revenge” late Thursday night (Nov. 28).
Clocking in at just over four minutes, the track finds the Memphis rapper, now going by NLE the Great, taking direct aim at YoungBoy with sharpened intent. The accompanying music video — directed by Bryson Potts and Travis Payne — doubles down on the spectacle. Decked out in a black cowboy hat, leather gloves, and full Western attire, the “Cottonwood” rapper dances and glides through the set with choreography that sparked comparisons online to a low-budget Michael Jackson homage.
But the theatrics are only part of the message. Lyrically, he comes swinging:
“Rap went dead, I’ma bring it back alive… YB, Louis V belt to his spine / Anybody with him better get him ‘fore he cross the line.”
The bar references October’s controversial “KO” video, where Choppa was seen striking a YoungBoy lookalike with a belt — a moment that immediately went viral and signaled the beef’s intensification.
NLE Choppa also takes aim at the Baton Rouge rapper by flipping one of the internet’s most persistent memes: “They say, ‘YB better,’ who? I’m the proof that ain’t a statement… They was putting me at two — change the conversation.”
“Hello Revenge” landed just 24 hours before NBA YoungBoy’s scheduled release of Slime Cry, a timing choice that feels intentionally confrontational. It follows YB’s own apparent jab earlier this month with “Zero IQ Freestyle,” where he brushed NLE off with:
“‘Respond to him,’ he ain’t never ran nothin’ down… I said, ‘No.’”
The feud traces back to NLE’s incendiary October diss “KO,” a track that sampled 2Pac’s “Hit ’Em Up” and positioned YoungBoy as “poison” to the youth. In a Rolling Stone interview, NLE claimed the idea for “KO” came from a vivid dream — a symbolic moment he said affirmed his “assignment” to call out his rival’s influence.
While YoungBoy is coming off a strong year — including his MASA album and a successful arena tour — NLE The Great has shown no signs of backing down. In fact, his latest drop suggests he’s leaning into the clash more aggressively than ever.
Whether YoungBoy responds directly remains to be seen.
