NLE The Great stated he does not want further conflict following an encounter with associates of NBA YoungBoy, also known as YoungBoy Never Broke Again.
Incident Details
The incident occurred on Tuesday night, December 23rd, after NLE The Great released two songs that contained criticism of YoungBoy. Footage shared on social media by YoungBoy affiliates Ben 10 and OG 3Three appears to show an interaction with NLE The Great while he was in an SUV. OG 3Three subsequently addressed the encounter in a social media video.
According to OG 3Three, NLE The Great displayed what he described as a “baby toy” during the encounter, suggesting a willingness to engage in conflict. 3Three stated, “You on all these cameras doing all this with the police and then you wait until you pull off to pull out a little baby toy and say, ‘It can go down.'” He also requested that NLE The Great refrain from mentioning his name.
NLE The Great’s Response
NLE The Great offered his account of the event via his Instagram Story, claiming that YoungBoy’s associates attempted to confront him, but “backfired.” He wrote, “I got in the car and drove away AFTER I realized ni**as wasn’t on nathannn! MF pull up on me and didn’t follow thru with they plans. I can’t respect it.”
In a subsequent video, NLE The Great adopted a less confrontational tone, stating, “I’m not promoting no violence. I don’t want smoke with nobody. I don’t want beef with nobody.”
Possible Next Steps
It is possible that the situation could remain tense between the two artists and their respective associates. Further songs or social media posts could continue the public dispute. Alternatively, the artists may choose to avoid further public engagement, allowing the situation to cool down. A direct, private resolution between the parties is also a possibility, though there is no indication this is currently being pursued.
