The popular 18-year-old Memphis artist took to Twitter on Tuesday (July 6) to reveal he wants to buy out his recording contract with Warner Records in order to quit music and focus on being a herbalist.
“Finna buy out my contract and become full time herbalist,” he wrote. “Forget the music stuff about to help my people.”
Warner Records signed NLE Choppa in July 2019 when he was just 16 years old, going on to release his debut album Top Shotta in August 2020 and From Dark to Light mixtape in November 2020.
