NLE The Great Dissing YoungBoy
The Recent Beef Between YoungBoy and NLE The Great.
On October 30th, 2025, NLE Choppa, new name “NLE The Great”, dropped a track dissing YoungBoy Never Broke Again called “KO”. The song included name dropping and targeted words such as “You poison the youth, nothin’ positive you do” and mentioned that YoungBoy is giving kids the wrong idea of love. He brought up how he started the stereotypes of men hurting women and thinking its okay, and about the number of drugs, guns, and fighting talked about in his music. He says that his influence has horribly affected the youth and that YoungBoy’s behavior makes him sick and how his “aura” gives him the ick. After NLE disappeared for a year, he explains that he changed his actions for the better and how YoungBoy needs to do the same.
For NLE’s album cover, he used a black and white photo of NLE holding YoungBoy’s head in his hand. In NLE’s KO music video, there is a scene of a character (who was dressed as YoungBoy) on his knees getting yelled at by NLE to get his act together. The video has YoungBoy appear weak and scared, from him receiving violent beatings to decapitation to show how NLE really feels about new age rap and YoungBoy specifically. NLE had changed into a better role model and influence over the past year and wanted people to know that YoungBoy is not the kind of person you’d want your kids looking up to.
Not only did NLE have lyrics to show his feelings about YoungBoy, but he also used samples from Dennis Edwards’ “Don’t Look Any Further,” exactly how 2Pac did on the song “Hit Em Up.” These two rappers beef isn’t all new, though. Their beef began in 2022 when YoungBoy released a diss on NLE in his song “Know Like I Know.” This was because of NLE publicly supporting YoungBoy’s enemy, King Von. At the time, NLE didn’t respond or acknowledge the diss, but ever since he changed his ways as a rapper, he felt the need to callout YoungBoy. There wasn’t an actual issue within the two rappers to stir up drama but now it’s randomly being seen as one years later.
NLE The Great reveals that this diss was inspired by a “very vivid dream” and decided to remake the dream into an actual music video. He claims that the song came to him with “spiritual clarity” and was a sign from God to recreate it. In a Rolling Stone interview on November 3rd, NLE expresses the “gruesome” vision and nightmare of YoungBoy and that the dream has stuck with him since. “It was me holding a young boy’s head in my hand, and I was bringing the head to my father in the dream,” and explained exactly what he saw and heard. The dream was so vivid that he can “remember the smell and the whole dream.” When he awoke from the dream, he prayed for hours and claims that “steps were ordered from there.”
On November 15th, YoungBoy had lightly responded to NLE with a song called “Zero IQ Freestyle,” with small, targeted lyrics. For example, “Respond to him,’ he ain’t never ran nothing down, no” It was said to be “no response is a response” because he didn’t use NLE’s actual name. There weren’t any specific phrases towards NLE, and he only included general attacks. YoungBoy fans were not satisfied with his response but YoungBoy most likely will not take this seriously, for now at least. NLE has been instigating YoungBoy by putting billboards for his diss track in his hometown of Baton Rouge and teasing diss tracks all over social media. It is unclear whether YoungBoy will fully respond to NLE’s songs and instigation but for now, he has held back.
In the end, NLE The Great’s diss and attempts at instigating have not truly affected YoungBoy and fans are wondering when and if he will snap. If NLE continues to provoke YoungBoy, most likely he will drop a full diss, but it is unclear for now. The tension between the two rappers can only deepen from here and leads to an exciting, entertaining battle for their fans to watch.
