NLE Choppa, now going by NLE The Great, recently dropped “KO,” a track that takes aim at NBA YoungBoy while marking his new artistic era. Over an instrumental inspired by “Hit ’Em Up,” he accuses his rival of being a bad influence on young listeners. Despite expressing that he still has love for YoungBoy, the Memphis rapper’s actions suggest he’s not backing down from their feud.

On Instagram, he shared a video of himself dancing to the diss track while holding a fake decapitated head resembling the Never Broke Again rapper. The visual sparked major controversy, especially after NLE The Great’s earlier comments about having respect and compassion for his peer.

“I was awakened out of my sleep with a vivid dream,” he told Rolling Stone. “The dream was me holding a young boy’s head in my hand, and I was bringing the head to my father. When I woke up, I wanted to pray about it and seek what it meant.”

He went on to clarify his intentions behind the song, saying the record comes from a personal place rather than simple animosity. “Personally, we’ve already had issues,” he said. “But I can’t say that these issues have zero reason as to why I made this record. But some of the things that were said, and we had a conversation earlier about this, it’s more so can be viewed as personal. It can be viewed as like, ‘Oh yeah, I don’t f**k with you. I don’t like you. This, that, whoop.’ But it’s more so speaking to something that’s controlling him. It’s speaking to what has possession of him, and I love him.”

NLE Choppa continued, expressing a desire to resolve their differences peacefully. “I would love to give that brother a hug,” he said. “I would love to shake hands with that brother, I would love to make music with him personally, but how could I if he won’t? But do I have worries about things being personal outside of this? I feel he got bigger fish to fry. I’m just playing a small role in it by using my voice.”

As of now, NBA YoungBoy has yet to respond to the mixed messages. It seems he’s choosing to let the situation fade rather than escalate further.

Sabrina Carpenter and Paul McCartney are among the latest music stars to honour Dolly Parton following her death.

The two artists shared treasured memories of the country icon, who died on 25 August at the age of 80.

Sabrina, 27, posted a collection of monochrome photographs featuring herself with Dolly and included an emotional message describing the singer as “an angel”.

“oh dolly,” the ‘Please, Please Please’ singer wrote beside a broken heart emoji. “the only thing i could say after we first met was 'she really is an angel walking the earth' and 'we look like we could be sisters!'”

Sabrina previously joined Dolly for a duet of the country legend’s hit ‘Jolene’, which appeared on the deluxe edition of her album ‘Short n’ Sweet’. She continued her tribute by mourning the loss of Dolly’s “singular magic”.

“i will cherish our laughter and conversations and i will keep your wisdom, your playful outlook on life, and perfect sense of humor in my pocket for the rainy days,” she wrote. “there will never be another you and how lucky are we all to have experienced your singular magic as well as your once in a lifetime voice, songs, and heart. your light will be something the world will search forever to find again. i will always love you.”

Sir Paul McCartney also admitted that he would find it “hard to imagine living in a world without Dolly”.

“The magnificent star Dolly Parton has died and it is so sad. She was such a wonderful woman,” the 84 year old musician wrote on Instagram alongside two monochrome pictures of the pair when they were younger.

“I first met her in Nashville at the Grand Ole Opry where she had been playing with the country star Porter Wagoner and was about to start her solo career. She was so bubbly and full of life it is difficult to take in the news that she has passed. Her songwriting, her singing and her philanthropy were unrivaled in the world of country music and it is hard to imagine living in a world without Dolly.”

Dolly died “after bravely facing a brief battle with cancer”, according to a statement issued by her family several hours after her passing.

“Our beloved Dolly Parton spent her life and career bringing joy, laughter, hope and integrity into everything she touched,” the message said.

“Her unmatched generosity reached the lives of countless people whom she would never meet, yet she was always there to offer a helping hand.

“Whether it be the hundreds of millions of books donated through her invaluable Imagination Library or funding research that helped create a lifesaving vaccine used around the world, Dolly's unconditional love for all people was the guiding force for her lasting impact.

“After bravely facing a brief battle with cancer, Dolly departed her Earthly life today at the Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Centre surrounded by loved ones.”
