NLE Choppa Shares Concerning Message: “Ima Kill Myself Last Day Of 2020”

Prayers up for NLE Choppa.

It looks like NLE Choppa could use some professional help right now. About a week after he opened up about his mental struggles, saying he was “broke inside,” the rising sensation has once again shared another alarming social media post, this time threatening suicide.

Choppa took to Twitter on Saturday and scared fans when he said he was going to kill himself on the last day of the year. This came right before he talked about having his music “live on for him.”

“My Music Gone Live For Me Imma Be With Y’all. I Promise... My Music Gone Let You Know Every Thing You Need To Know Blue heart love y’all,” he tweeted. “Imma Kill Myself The Last Day Of December 2020 Y’all Better Enjoy Me While Y’all Can Blue heart??” he added.

This round of tweets comes exactly a week after he opened up about how he suffers from depression, which he largely attributes to the trauma he has been exposed throughout his brief 17 years. "Everybody go through depression I suffer from that I think in the blacc community that shit ignored... on my album i got a song for everybody who suffer from bipolar depression, mental health issues man anything I hope it touch u, let u know u not alone I’m with you.”

Alex Smith Explains Life-Threatening Injury: "Very Much Lucky To Be Alive"

Alex Smith opens up about his life-threatening injury.

Redskins' Quarterback Alex Smith is "very much lucky to be alive," according to a new interview with ESPN's Outside The Lines. 

Smith is referring to a leg injury that kept him off the field for over a year. In November 2018, during a game against the Houston Texans, Smith was tackled by JJ Watt and Kareem Jackson that resulted in a gruesome compound fracture of his right tibia, which penetrated the skin. He also suffered a fractured right fibula.

It was the tibia penetrating the skin that was the biggest concern. Such an injury increases the risk of infection significantly.

"I had a pretty serious infection ... they had a lot of complications with it,'' Smith explained. As it turns out, he had developed sepsis, a life-threatening condition.

Smith continued, "next thing I remember is waking up several weeks later faced with the decision of amputation or limb salvage at that point." 

Smith opted for limb salvage and the surgeries were successful. "[I'm] so thankful for everyone that's had a hand in this," he said. "My wife, kids, and family and doctors and nurses and PTs and trainers and so many people that have helped me to be sitting here."

Smith has been cleared of all infection and hopes he'll be able to return to the Redskins.
