“That or I need the same foundation he using” — Internet reacts as NLE Choppa debuts new look after removing neck tattoo

Rapper and internet personality NLE Choppa is well-known among his fans for his music. However, besides his songs, what seems to catch viewers’ attention is his tattoo, which covers almost half of his body. On January 30, 2025, the rapper took to his Instagram and shared a reel to reveal that he removed his neck tattoo. He wrote:

“A week in as old Choppa I removed my neck tattoo and got into a fight with the opps.”

The reel was also captioned:

“Should I Drop Tonight “444” Out Now!”

His announcement has drawn the attention of social media users, many of whom appeared surprised after the revelation. However, others seemed skeptical as they suggested that NLE Choppa might have used make-up to conceal the tattoo. One Instagram user reacted:

“That or I need the same foundation he using to cover it!! Love a good full coverage sis.”

“i know perfect match makeup when i see it,” a social media user (@1blackpocahontas_724) commented.

“He looks good no lie,” a netizen (@thebeverlyemberru) pointed out.

“Baby the face and neck 2 different shades. Just in this case the foundation on the neck instead of the face,” an online commentator (@pure.paradise92) mentioned.
