Recently, NLE Choppa dropped a video titled “I Got a Crush on Billie Eilish,” in which, in true frank style, he shares what he thinks of the pop star. Here, Choppa gets to reveal feelings and let some lighter, more humorous sides of him come out in ways that are a break from his usual fiery, hostile musical demeanor. The video has brought some online buzz to Choppa’s versatility and his playful way with discussing his celebrity crushes.

In his latest video, NLE Choppa very candidly admits his celeb-crush on Billie Eilish, literally breaking down feelings towards his affection very playfully and lightheartedly. This makes a very dramatic shift in the concept from the high action and high flying aggressive musical attitude that he usually touts, bringing out a new, softer side of the rapper. Scenes are whimsical, and the pace is laid-back, which makes it more of an enjoyable watch to fans and newbies of his music.
The online reactions to the video are totally off the hook. Fans and pretty much everyone are hailing Choppa for his versatility and, well, for the funnier, more human look he is donning. This enlightening revelation has sparked a great buzz, with many talking about his unanticipated crush and his ability to turn his swag up so easily.
Despite this lighthearted detour, NLE Choppa is still pushing his single “Sl*t Me Out 2” hard on TikTok. Among his latest moves, he used the platform again on July 10 with a TikTok of him dancing and showing a bit of love to Billie Eilish—another push for the song but shared again in a pretty personal manner. That keeps his self-promotion unique and interesting.
NLE Choppa has presented many funny TikToks. There was the cringe moment where he now embarrassingly flapped around trying to stretch his leg like a child disappointed because he didn’t get their way. To that one, fans wrote his side of the caption in their hearts: “If I shoot my shot at Billie and it don’t work out,” adding self-deprecation that fans find endearing.

Fans immediately commented on the posts, with some users inquiring whether Choppa was locked in with Sophie Rain. To that, Choppa simply responded by posting another TikTok that had the caption “Locked in with Sophie til I rest in peace” laid on top of his new song, “Stickin And Movin,” exemplified at the very least of his open nature and his willingness to reach out and relate to their curiosities to engage at a very individualized level.

By the end of June, 27.2 million people watched two TikToks featuring NLE Choppa and the influencer Sophie Rain, lip-synching to “Sl*t Me Out 2”. They doubled as marketing for the single and, respectively, an example of Choppa’s work-in-many-different-directions collaborativeness and his gift for content gone viral.
Each series on video and TikToks found different aspects of NLE Choppa’s personality—one more softer and humorous in a manner that could attract newer audiences or further assure his already existing fandom. Also, as seen lately, a growing trend among celebrities is using social media to share things—and these could go even farther, from the extremely personal and fun things that Choppa is doing, to boost his public image and even engage more deeply with his following.
