NBA YoungBoy’s mother has seemingly come to her son’s defense after NLE Choppa took shots at the Baton Rouge rapper in his recently released song KO. In the track, released on October 30, 2025, with an accompanying music video, Choppa revived his old feud with YoungBoy by name-dropping him in the song and alluded to the rapper being a negative influence on young boys.
Following this, YoungBoy’s mother, Sherhonda Gaulden, took to her Instagram Story to seemingly reply to Choppa’s disses about her son. She posted three consecutive stories, alluding to Choppa being gay and likening the rapper’s shaved head to the eggplant emoji “without the rubber.”
” I would be upset if this was coming from someone who matters like someone who people actually listen. Like someone who is not in the closet…How are you gonna hate from outside the arena you can’t even feel one up…Head looking like a (eggplant emoji) without the rubber,” she wrote.
Sherhonda Gaulden’s apparent response to NLE Choppa attracted mixed reactions from netizens on X, with one user claiming that she “ate.”
“Sheronda ate.”
Several netizens shared similar feelings, adding that they were “not familiar with her game” and commending her for defending her son.
However, others were critical of her “using homosexuality as a weapon” to seemingly hit back at Choppa.
What did NLE Choppa say about NBA YoungBoy on KO?
NLE Choppa’s newly released track, KO, saw the Memphis rapper pay homage to Tupac Shakur in the music video. According to HotNewHipHop, KO reportedly sampled 2Pac’s Hit ‘Em Up, the West Coast rapper’s popular 1996 diss track aimed at his rivals, The Notorious B.I.G. and Diddy. Choppa also paid tribute to Michael Jackson, dressing up like the singer from his Smooth Criminal music video and performing moves from Thriller.
Amid the tribute, fans noticed that the song contained multiple disses (both direct and indirect) towards NBA YoungBoy, who allegedly dissed the rapper in his 2022 song, Know Like I Know. In KO, Choppa name-dropped NBA YoungBoy in the first verse, rapping:
“YoungBoy, what? This the big boy league/ I put one up in your gut under the Jesus piece/ Last thing that I heard was, “Jesus, please”/ Had me looking at the Devil like, “This is your king”.”
Elsewhere in the song, Choppa alluded to NBA YoungBoy trying to “poison the youth” with his music and called him out for being a bad role model. He also claimed that NBA YoungBoy’s “aura” gave him the “ick,” alleging that the rapper was a “breastfed b***h.” During this part of the song, Choppa is seen rapping the verse to a YoungBoy lookalike in the music video.
“You poison the youth, nothin’ positive you do/ You the reason n***as beating b***hes 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/ Just a n***a with emotion, a breastfed b***h/ Yo’ aura give me the ick/ N***as like you make me sick.”
“Money, power, guns, and a few drugged out crash outs/ Make you think you the one who can lash out/ F**k benefit of doubt, we all tryna make it out/ Tried to peace it up with ya/ You the one that wanted clout.”
Meanwhile, NBA YoungBoy, currently on his “MASA Tour,” is scheduled to perform at Paycom Center in Oklahoma City on November 1, 2025. The Louisiana rapper has not responded to NLE Choppa’s diss as of this article.
