NLE Choppa‘s mother, Angela Potts, hasn’t heard from her son in a few hours, and she’s asking for the public’s help in finding out where he might be.
Taking to Instagram on Friday (October 20), Potts — who also serves as the “Go Stupid” rapper’s manager — revealed that her son was in the process of moving back to Cottonwood, and it’s something she’s not happy about.

She also feared that something terrible might have happened to him, as she’d not spoken to him for “a few hours,” which is unusual in their relationship.
“Y’all help me pray over my child,” she wrote. “He plans on moving back to Cottonwood where we worked hard to get out of just for a mixtape SMH! I ain’t talked to this boy in hours and he usually doesn’t do this.”

She continued: “One thing I know about my son is that he doesn’t go ghost for any reason. Whatever your working on I pray GOD is guiding you. If y’all hear from him PLEASE CONTACT ME ASAP! To the fans he wants to please thanks a lot.”

There was a similar message posted on NLE Choppa’s Instagram Stories and Twitter account, encouraging the Memphis rapper’s fans to get in touch with Potts if they’ve seen, or heard from, the rapper. It’s not clear, however, when the rapper first went missing.
“Contact Momma Choppa via instagram if you hear from NLE Choppa! – Management,” the PSA for fans reads.

In other NLE Choppa news, the rapper has been slapped with a copyright infringement lawsuit from a West Coast rapper who alleges that the Memphis native swiped one of his songs for use in his 2022 single, “Who TF Up In My Trap.”
According to court documents obtained by Music Business Worldwide, Rodney Oliver — who goes by the name Rodney O — wrote the song “Everlasting Bass” in 1988. He alleges that “Who TF Up In My Trap” lifted parts of “Everlasting Bass” extensively, without credit or compensation to Oliver, who was part of the duo Rodney O and Joe Cooley.
“Due to Defendant’s acts of copyright infringement as alleged herein, Defendant’s, and each of them, have obtained direct and indirect profits they would not otherwise have realized but for their infringement of Plaintiff’s rights,” reads the complaint filed earlier this month. “As such, Plaintiff is entitled to disgorgement of Defendant’s profits directly and indirectly attributable to Defendant’s infringement of Plaintiff’s rights in his copyrighted composition in an amount to be established at trial.”
In addition to NLE Choppa, Project Pat, Juicy J, DJ Paul and Sony Music are also named as defendants in the lawsuit.

Oliver doesn’t specify how much he’d like in damages, but he is demanding a jury trial. So far, neither NLE Choppa nor any of the other defendants have filed an answer to the complaint.
