As the holiday season rolls in, stories of goodwill and generosity often lift our spirits amidst what can sometimes be challenging times. One such beacon of light comes from NLE Choppa’s corner, where his mother and manager, Angela Potts, recently played the role of a Christmas angel for a family facing adversity in Memphis.

On a chilly Monday morning, the city of Memphis took notice as Angela Potts extended a warm invitation and much-needed aid to a local family devastated by an unexpected tragedy — a house fire. Potts’s kindness was not just about giving, but about creating a moment of relief and unity for Cory Jefferson and his loved ones.

Upon hearing about the Jefferson family’s plight through social media, Potts acted swiftly. As narrated to FOX13 Memphis, she initially intended to gather toys to ensure the children could have a joyous Christmas despite losing everything in the fire. However, after speaking with Jefferson, she realized their need was far greater than just gifts.

Jefferson shared his financial struggles and his urgent need to secure housing before Christmas. Moved by their situation, Potts remembered she had a rental property available and immediately offered them a few months’ stay — free of charge. Her actions emphasized the importance of community support, especially during the holidays.

This isn’t an isolated gesture from the Choppa camp. Since the inception of the NLE Choppa Foundation, the rapper and his mother have engaged in various charitable activities aimed at uplifting Memphis families. Their recent endeavors include toy drives and personal visits to fans in need of a morale boost, such as the case with Neeno, a fan battling terminal leukemia.

Moreover, Potts ensured that the Jefferson family’s temporary home was not just a house but a haven. When they arrived, it was filled with toys, essentials, and even new shoes — a living manifestation of Potts’s belief in returning the family’s sense of joy and home comfort lost to the flames.

The outreach is not just limited to Angela Potts. NLE Choppa, whose real name is Bryson Lashun Potts, has been active both in community work and on the music scene. This year, he has been experimenting with new musical aliases, including NLE The Great, under which he released singles such as “Messiah (Devil’s Diss),” “KO,” and “Hello Revenge.” His artistic journey is mirrored by his personal growth and responsibilities, as Choppa continually finds ways to give back to the community that supports his career.

In the world of hip hop, the juxtaposition of an impactful musical career and heartfelt community work sets NLE Choppa apart. His family-led efforts highlight an essential aspect of hip hop culture, underscoring its historical roots in providing a voice and support to marginalized communities.

Stories like Angela Potts’s remind us of the power within the hip hop community to transcend music and manifest real change. They teach a lesson about using one’s platform for greater good and the ripple effect a single act of kindness can have on many lives. In a season centered on love, giving, and togetherness, the Choppa family stands out as an embodiment of the spirit of Christmas, proving once again that hip hop is not only about beats and rhymes but also about heart and humanity.
