NLE Choppa Confesses Crush on Billie Eilish and Ponders Next Move
NLE Choppa, the Memphis rapper known for his explicit and confident lyrics, has recently taken to TikTok to reveal his crush on pop sensation Billie Eilish. Using his single “Sl*t Me Out 2” as the soundtrack, Choppa shared a series of TikToks on July 10, showcasing his admiration for Eilish in a humorous and candid manner.

In the first TikTok, Choppa danced to his song while a message appeared on the screen, reading, “I got a crush on Billie Elish [sic].” Despite the misspelling of Eilish’s name, the post quickly garnered attention from his followers. The random nature of the revelation, combined with Choppa’s willingness to share his feelings publicly, sparked a flurry of comments and reactions.

Not stopping there, Choppa followed up with another TikTok where he admitted he was bored and danced to his song once more. In a third video, he awkwardly attempted to stretch his leg, eventually flailing in frustration. This TikTok included a caption that read, “If I shoot my shot at Billie and it don’t work out,” giving context to his outburst and adding a layer of self-deprecating humor to the situation.
While NLE Choppa’s chances with Billie Eilish might seem slim, especially considering a recent interview where Eilish mentioned she’s not interested in dating at the moment, it’s clear that the rapper is not shy about expressing his feelings. In March, Eilish told People Magazine that she’s not looking for a serious relationship until she finds someone who feels right to her. “That’s not true, obviously,” she said about never dating again. “But no, I don’t see myself being serious with anyone until I find someone that really feels right to me, and that is not interesting to me right now.” Her last serious relationship with Jesse Rutherford ended in May 2023.

In addition to his crush on Eilish, NLE Choppa has a history of publicly expressing his admiration for other celebrities. Just a few months ago, he openly shared his interest in fellow artist GloRilla. During an interview with AllHipHop, he complimented GloRilla’s appearance and hinted at his interest, saying, “She’s getting a little thicker. We see you. That a** getting fat now, Glo… She must’ve been on her oats. She ‘bout one more picture away before I’m just there with it.” Despite his comments, there was no public indication that the two ever linked up.
NLE Choppa’s candidness about his feelings extends to his interactions with fans as well. When a commenter asked about his previous relationship with influencer Sophie Rain, Choppa responded with a TikTok message, “Locked in with Sophie til I rest in peace,” soundtracked by his song “Stickin And Movin.” This response followed a series of TikToks in late June, where Choppa and Sophie Rain lip-synced to “Sl*t Me Out 2,” amassing over 27 million views collectively.

Whether or not his shot at Eilish works out, Choppa’s playful and sincere approach ensures that he remains a beloved figure in the music and social media landscape.
