NLE Choppa claimed he’s leaving his major label in light of Kanye West’s criticisms of the music industry. The Warner Records artist declared he would become an independent artist again in a Twitter post on Wednesday (September 16).
“I’m going all the way back independent myself after this album even tho I own my music but it is time for us to start %100 owning our craft,” he wrote. “Time for us to start pushing new agenda instead of the same with us killing our own when we got a bigger problem.”
Choppa’s announcement came a few hours after he tweeted, “Kanye ain’t said one lie.” West aired out his label woes on Twitter this week, even sharing pages of his contract with Universal Music Group.
Yeezy’s latest social media rants repeatedly focused on his efforts to get control of his masters. He also referred to the music industry and NBA as “modern-day slave ships” while insisting “all the musicians will be free.”
Choppa released his first studio album Top Shotta on Warner Records in August. The LP peaked at No. 10 on the Billboard 200.
Last year, Choppa partnered with Warner to launch his own imprint called No Love Entertainment. He previously signed a distribution deal with Steve Stoute’s UnitedMasters, which handled the release of his Cottonwood EP in 2019.
NLE has been on a spiritual journey over the course of the past year. He recently shared how meditation changed his life in an interview with DX, which you can watch below.
This Lil ‘Fruitcake just looking for a new angle whenever the ingenius “NLE” didn’t stick on the tongues of consumers.
This confused lil boy talks too much.
you don’t think at all
If you need an 18 year old hypocrite to preach at you about some shit he just learned yesterday in order for you to do the right thing in life I seriously feel bad for you
Kanye tells the truth quite often but sleep walkers hate the messenger so they don’t want to hear it from him
Everyone should go independent. Expect a dip in mix quality when this happens though.
Or do you mean expect all the trash to leave the industry… and all the real talented Individuals will perhaps go further then youtube
Slavery a choice he said, so how can he be mad at slave contracts ? He a genius he can read can’t he ? He can’t hire a lawyer to read a contract ? Those contracts made him rich but decades later he crying, convenient just prior to election for his fuhrer
you are the same retard on the other page sticking up for pedophiles and evil cults… he trusted jayz in his contract as they were “friends” then it was sold along with the label… keep in mind you can never retire lmao why wouldn’t you be upset about that oh I know why because the media told you to think in another way to bad your controlled by a fucking square box in your living room…
They gonna go ‘ultra black’ so basically they’ll start going all racial everything on whitey and b!tch about whitey not supporting the craft / culture. It’s funny how the bandwagon works this year. Y’all are just too damned lazy to go indie so you settled for the ‘slave deal’ and now you got the house and the car and NOW it’s the ‘exploitation slave trade’ … funny how many white artists have these deals too but it’s ‘black exploitation’ y’all give me oral sex to the brain every fuckin day LOL!
Nigga,you suck @$$..if I was Warner Records, I’d happily drop your wack ass without a thought.
Guess if you’re independent, you only have yourself to blame when you flop
