Memphis rapper NLE Choppa is under fire after his ex, reality star Marissa Da’Nae, publicly accused him of child neglect and expressed frustration over his attempt to pursue custody of their two-year-old son, ChoZen Wone.
Over the weekend, Marissa took to X (formerly Twitter) to vent about the alleged lack of involvement from Choppa in their toddler’s life, sparking outrage online and igniting a heated conversation about parental responsibility in celebrity families.
Marissa Details Alleged Neglect
Marissa’s posts were raw and unfiltered, highlighting what she says is Choppa’s minimal engagement with ChoZen.
“I can’t believe this bh is taking me to court about a child he doesn’t even call lmao,”* she wrote.
*“I get so angry just thinking bout this st. Bh can’t even tell a mf when’s the last time ChoZen been to the doctor. I tell you what. ChoZen’s birthday was a month ago. This bh has only called once.”*
Her frustration underscores her view that Choppa has been largely absent from the daily responsibilities of fatherhood, leaving her as the primary caregiver.
Social Media Sparks Heated Discussion
Marissa further detailed Choppa’s alleged lack of connection, referencing missed milestones and inconsistent communication:
“B**h can’t even fill up all 20 Instagram slides of different occasions when he saw ChoZen,”* she said.
She also suggested that Choppa’s frustration stems from her moving on with her life after their breakup:
“N** don’t even know what ChoZen did last week. You ever met a n**** get mad because his bms got cool without him? He was lying to both of us trying to make it seem like both of us was crazy and delusional. Real deal got mad cause we is cool.”*
The posts quickly went viral, drawing reactions from fans and other celebrities weighing in on Choppa’s alleged parenting behavior.
Disturbing Allegations: ChoZen’s Diet
One of the most shocking claims from Marissa involved ChoZen’s nutrition. She alleges that the rapper encouraged their one-year-old son to fast, believing toddlers do not need to eat three meals a day.
“Kids come home starving,” she wrote, emphasizing her concern for her son’s health and wellbeing.
Such statements have fueled intense debate online, with fans split between supporting Marissa’s concerns and defending Choppa until formal custody proceedings clarify the situation.
Marissa Vows to Protect Her Son
Throughout her posts, Marissa made it clear she is prepared to fight for ChoZen’s best interests. She closed one of her rants with a bold declaration:
“Just call me ‘CRASH OUT’ behind my son.”
The statement reflects her determination to prioritize ChoZen’s safety and emotional wellbeing, even amid public scrutiny.

The story has become a viral moment, highlighting the challenges of co-parenting in the spotlight and how social media amplifies disputes.
Background: NLE Choppa and Marissa Da’Nae
ChoZen Wone, born in 2023, is the only child Choppa shares with Marissa Da’Nae. NLE Choppa has multiple children with other women, and his personal life has often been a topic of media attention.
The rapper, known for hits like “Shotta Flow” and “Camelot,” has built a massive social media following, which makes private family disputes highly visible.

Legal Implications
While details of formal custody proceedings have not been fully disclosed, Marissa’s allegations may influence public perception and any future legal considerations.
Experts in family law note that social media statements can sometimes complicate custody negotiations. Public accusations, while validating for personal expression, may also become part of court records if the case escalates.

This controversy also shines a light on the pressures of parenting in the public eye. Many celebrity parents face scrutiny not just from courts but from fans, online commentators, and the media.
For NLE Choppa, whose career has skyrocketed in recent years, balancing fatherhood with touring, recording, and social media obligations may present challenges. Marissa’s posts emphasize how absence—even if unintentional—can create tension when the public observes every move.
