Freddie Gibbs thinks that NLE Choppa—erm, NLE The Great’s—new diss song to NBA YoungBoy, “Hello Revenge,” is absolutely hilarious.

Gibbs posted a clip from NLE’s new song on his Instagram Story, writing “Man Down” with a laughing-until-crying emoji afterwards.

“Hello Revenge” is the second recent track, following “KO,” that takes aim at NBA YoungBoy, who seems to be minding his business. In the video for “Hello Revenge,” that literally has “YoungBoy Diss” in the song’s full title, NLE Choppa raps in a n all-black cowboy fit while dancing like a Mortal Kombat character to his beef-seeking bars.

"Rap went dead, I'ma bring it back alive/ N***a, I'm the truth, but the devil is a lie/ YB Louis V belt to his spine/ Anybody with him better get 'em 'fore he cross the line, n***a," NLE Choppa raps.

The release of “Hello Revenge” comes nearly a month after NLE Choppa released “KO,” which questioned NBA YoungBoy’s impact on his fans.

Using 2Pac’s famous diss track “Hit ‘Em Up” as the foundation of what sounds like a sampled rendition, NLE Choppa calls out YoungBoy with the bald-headed swagger of Shakur in 1996. “You poison the youth, nothin' positive you do/ You the reason n***as beating bitches thinking that it's cute /You send n***as to do what you wouldn't even do /Role model, you will never fit the shoe,” raps NLE Choppa on the track.

Speaking of bald heads, NLE Choppa cosplays as Shakur — hairless cranium and all in the music video for “KO” as he bullies a stand-in who represents NBA YoungBoy.

On a subsequent Instagram Stories post after the song was released, NLE Choppa doubled down on his bars, writing, “This ain’t a fire drill. “I’m standing on everything I’m saying. I stamp it.”
