NLE Choppa Helps King Von's Nephew Perform His Favorite Song From The Late Rapper Onstage: Watch

Not only is NLE Choppa one of the most comedic rappers in the game right now, but he is also one of the nicest. The Memphis, Tennessee star has repeatedly poured out so much love and kindness into the world in many ways. For how young he is (21), he shows just as much as maturity, if not more than others twice his age. One prime example you can look to is the amount of hate he received for dropping "SLUT ME OUT 2". The homophobic claims did not get to him and instead showed incredible mental strength. Now, NLE Choppa is helping carry on the legacy of King Von.

The hitmaker had a segment at the Vegandale Festival to attend to and what better way to go about it than to pay homage to a Chicago legend. NLE has shown that he has a lot of love for the late superstar in the making in the past, so this comes as no surprise. Choppa reached out to Von's nephew, GrandBabii, and asked him to help out with his show. According to him, he told GrandBabii that he needed to show out for his uncle and he was in, although for being so young the nerves were real.

However, as you can see in the video, he manages to jump right into it after a short chat with Choppa onstage. The latter also asked what song they should spin, and assumed his answer would be "Crazy Story". However, GrandBabii requested "GTA", as that was his favorite of his uncle's. According to Choppa's post, the younsgter told him he wants to pursue music, "After that he told me standing on the stage performing made him want to be a rapper. I’m just glad to play a small part in the successful career I know he’s gonna have one day

Liam Gallagher jokes about joint Blur tour, fuels speculation of Manic Street Preachers or Richard Ashcroft supporting Oasis

Liam Gallagher has been teasing fans about who the support will be for the upcoming Oasis reunion tour dates in the UK.

Fans have been speculating who will be opening for the Britpop legends on their highly-awaited reunion shows after it was reported last month that Liam was seeking “established acts” to support them on tour. So far, support has only been announced for the North American leg, which will see Cage The Elephant join for all dates – visit here to buy tickets.

Various names have been flying around since the band confirmed their comeback, and earlier in the year, when a fan on X/Twitter asked if Richard Ashcroft would be supporting Oasis at their 2025 live showsLiam replied: “That would be BIBLICAL”.

Now, Liam’s once again taken to Twitter/X to fan the flames of fan rumours, further suggesting Ashcroft will be joining the bill, but also teasing that Blur and Manic Street Preachers may be heading out on the road with them.

Responding to one fan suggesting Damon Albarn and co. should open for them, Liam wrote about his former Britpop rivals: “I love blur and at sone point we have to do n old dears tours.”

Later, he seemed to ask fans to weigh in, writing: “Richard Ashcroft or Manic street preachers as support”, before adding shortly after: “the manics it is”.

However, he went on to write: “Only kidding we never set sail without the 1 and only RICARDO he’s our boy from day DOT come aboard Rkid.”

 

 

 

 

 

Ashcroft has a long history with Oasis, serving as the inspiration behind their 1995 hit ‘Cast No Shadow’. During a Select interview that year, Noel Gallagher said: “I always felt he was born at the wrong time and in the wrong place, and he was always trying to say the right things, but they came out wrong.”

He also enlisted Liam for a collaboration on his 2022 hit ‘C’mon People (We’re Making It Now)’, and appeared as a special guest when he headlined Finsbury Park in 2018.

Meanwhile, Manic Street Preachers supported Oasis during their iconic Knebworth 1995 shows. The band also teased new material in August, sharing a clip of new music on their social media and leading fans to think they could be enlisted again for the upcoming shows.

Elsewhere, Blossoms recently spoke to NME about the possibility of supporting the Britpop legends. The Tom Ogden-led band have just released their fifth album ‘Gary‘, which saw a gaggle of famous Garys unite to promote the record. Ogden has said that “nothing has been discussed, nothing has been asked,” adding: “I don’t think they’ll sort it out until next year.”

Oasis initially began teasing their reunion following Liam Gallagher’s headline set at Reading Festival by sharing a mysterious date on their screens. Blossoms also shared the same teaser on their big concert screens as Liam and Noel at their Wythenshawe Park gig, prompting speculation that they might have something to do with the reunion.

“I’d like to think our name might be in the mix because why not?,” he continued. “We’ve never shied away from saying how much they’ve influenced us. We went to watch them at Heaton Park when we were 16, and we kind of know them both.

“I’m not going to get my hopes up, though, because, at the end of the day, it’s up to them. If we get asked, the bags are packed, and we’d smash it.”
