NLE Choppa has revealed his engagement to Erica Ravén, sharing the news through a holiday-season post on Instagram. The announcement quickly circulated across social media, shifting focus from recent rap headlines to a significant personal moment. The rapper posted a short series of photos capturing the proposal itself. In the first image, Choppa is seen down on one knee presenting a diamond engagement ring, while Ravén appears visibly surprised. A follow-up photo shows her holding up the ring, confirming the engagement.
A Minimal Caption, Maximum Impact
Choppa kept the message simple. He captioned the post, “Now That’s Gangsta,” without adding further explanation. Shortly after uploading the images, he removed all other content from his Instagram feed, leaving the engagement post as the sole highlight on his profile. The understated approach resonated with fans. Within hours, congratulatory messages poured in from followers and peers, with many praising the intimate and low-key nature of the reveal.
When the Relationship Became Public
Public awareness of Choppa and Ravén’s relationship is relatively recent. Rumors began circulating only a few months ago, after the pair shared affectionate posts online. In October, a photo of the two together fueled speculation, though neither addressed the attention directly. Weeks earlier, Choppa had reposted an Instagram Story originally shared by Ravén that showed the couple kissing. At the time, both chose to remain silent as online discussion grew. The engagement announcement now serves as the first clear confirmation of their relationship.
A Shift From Recent Rap Headlines
The engagement news arrives after a period in which Choppa frequently made headlines for professional reasons. In recent months, he was involved in a public lyrical exchange with NBA YoungBoy, releasing tracks such as “KO” and “Hello Revenge.” The songs addressed themes of influence and accountability within hip-hop. That dispute briefly escalated into a confrontation involving members of YoungBoy’s camp in Houston, though no further incidents were reported. Since then, Choppa has kept a lower profile musically, making the personal announcement stand out even more.
Looking Ahead
With no wedding details shared yet, the engagement marks a clear change in tone for the Memphis rapper. As the year draws to a close, the announcement positions Choppa in a new chapter focused on personal growth and stability, offering fans a glimpse into a more private side of his life.
