Ahead of the release of his next record Me vs. Me, 19-year-old NLE Choppa broke down why he thinks he’s been compared to both 2Pac and Michael Jackson.
In a conversation with Power 106 Los Angeles, Choppa spoke about becoming a father, his upcoming album, and comparisons he’s received.
“I don’t know, I feel like I get a lot of Michael Jackson ’cause of the type of energy I bring,” he said. “Somebody even said I look like him, [but] I don’t know about that. … And I get 2Pac, too, because of what I stand for, what type of principles I stand for outside of music. With me, it’s not about the music all the time, it’s about who I can impact. Whose life I can change.
After his comments started to circulate, Choppa offered clarification.
“These comparisons got nothing to do with me MUSICALLY,” he wrote on Twitter. “Everything to do with what I stand for outside of it. I’m prolific I stand for some that can change the world.”
