April 2024 · 2 minute read

After Memphis Grizzlies player Ja Morant was suspended by the NBA for waving a gun in a video, NLE Choppa lost a spot for one of their songs in a Powerade commercial.

TMZ said on Saturday (March 18) that the latest song by NLE Choppa, “Mo Up Front,” was going to be the music for a Powerade ad with Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant. That was until Ja showed a gun in a video, which was a PR nightmare.

The NBA banned Ja Morant for eight games after he was caught on video waving a gun around. Powerade had used Choppa’s song in their “What 50% More Means” ad campaign, but they had to stop using it because of this. The media outlet says that the TV spot was made to bring attention to the NCAA’s March Madness tournament.

The media has tried to get NLE Choppa to say something.

NLE Choppa, who was born and raised in Memphis, would have looked great in the Powerade commercial. Still, TMZ said that Choppa is not mad at Ja and is still a fan of him and his Memphis basketball team, even though he missed out on a chance to be in a national ad. In fact, the 20-year-old rapper led the team onto the court for their home opener last year.

NLE Choppa is working on more music. He plans to release a new single with Lil Wayne called “Ain’t Gonna Answer” before his next project, Cottonwood 2.
