NLE Choppa, who was all set to perform his new song in Powerade, missed the comment due to Ja Morant’s publicity problems.
Here’s everything you need.
Ja Morant’s gun video led to NLE Choppa losing the Powerade commercial
Sources with direct information told TMZ Hip Hop that NLE Choppa’s latest song titled ‘Mo Up Front’ was to be included in Ja Morant and Powerade’s campaign called ‘What 50% More Means.’
Additionally, the ad was intended to highlight the NCAA’s March Madness tournament.
However, Choppa’s plans were put on hold after Ja Morant’s infamous video in which he flashed his gun in front of the camera. In addition, Morant is currently serving an eight-game suspension from the NBA.
So, due to the aforementioned reasons, Choppa was dropped from the commercial for his new song.
According to reports, Choppa is still a fan of Ja Morant despite missing out on the opportunity for national exposure. He also has a good relationship with the Grizzlies in his hometown.
Meanwhile, Choppa is reportedly participating in the team’s celebrity basketball game. The match is to take place on the 20th March and will benefit St Jude’s hospital.
