NLE Choppa has once again shut down speculation regarding his sexuality, and this time he did it during an Instagram Live stream, during which he was joined by his mother.
In a viral clip circulating on social media, the 23-year-old rapper did a stream alongside his mom, Angeleta Potts, and called out the mother of his child, Marissa Da’Nae, after she recently accused him of being gay because she performed anilingus on him.
“Marissa, you going to say I’m gay because you ate my asshole? Huh?! I didn’t tell you to lick my nipples, I think that’s a little weird,” he said. “Don’t play with my nipples.”
He accused Da’Nae of “moving the goalposts” every time he tries to see their two-year-old son, ChoZen Potts. Da’Nae recently accused him of sexual and emotional abuse and alleged that he neglected their son. She made the accusations as part of a petition filed in September 2025 to gain primary physical custody of their child. He later responded to and denied the allegations.
“You know I ain’t gay… Don't try to call me gay because you ate my ass,” he continued. “I'm going to kick it off… You’ve said it in the past, ‘My baby daddy ain’t gay.’ Whoever walk that life, stay brave… But stop putting that shit on me, man, because y'all know I don't play like that. I ain't never been pegged, I ain’t never been entered. None of that. If a hoe want to put that motherfucking tongue on that gooch of that ass, man, I ain't going to stop her, P.”
In the clip, his mother kept covering her face. Whether it was to stifle laughter or out of embarrassment is unclear.

The rapper’s comments come not long after he announced his engagement to musician Erica Ravén. In a post shared on Instagram, he was seen on one knee proposing to his now-fiancée with a bedazzled diamond ring.
“Now that’s gangsta,” he captioned the post, which arrived just months after it was first reported that the couple were dating.
This isn’t the first time Choppa has addressed his sexuality. Following the release of his song “Slut Me Out 2,” he shared his appreciation for fans in the LGBTQ+ community showing him love.
“Me saying thank you got nun to do with my sexuality busta,” he responded to one fan who accused him of “being gay.”
In 2024, he revealed that he would love to perform “Slut Me Out 2” at a Pride event to show his support for the LGBTQ+ community. When faced with criticism, he accused some fans of being “uncomfortable” in their sexuality.
“I’m secure, I know who I am,” he wrote. “Show love it won’t hurt and also you do know women are a part of the LGBTQ community right[?] you gone hate them too? I mean at the least appreciate the women in that community if everything else make you uncomfortable king.”
He also faced accusations of queerbaiting after photos from his shoot for Playgirl went viral. “It’s me showing freedom,” he said. “Anything now a days is called gay or it’s baiting. … Call me what you want but a straight man comfortable in my skin, I AM.”
