NLE Choppa:Yo, what’s up? It’s NLE Choppa and this is Billboard News. Tune in for the interview right now. Let’s do it.
Tetris Kelly:It’s slut season, you declared it man.
NLE Choppa:Yes, sir, the one in the flesh.
Tetris Kelly: So listen, “Slut Me Out 2”: 20 million streams, 4 million views on YouTube, man. You having fun with it?
NLE Choppa:Man, having a lot of fun. I feel like that’s the most important part of it. If we ain’t doing that, we ain’t doing something right so yeah.
Tetris Kelly:Then, “Slut Me Out” came out two years ago, so tell me why now was the time that you was like, “I want to do a part two, I want to follow that up.”
NLE Choppa:Man what’s funny is “Slut Me Out 2” came out two years ago. I released it around, like, March and it didn’t pick up traction until December, so like, it kind of was like a little bit under the rug and then in December, out of nowhere, it just started to gain traction. It goes crazy. I feel I could never really commit to it, so I was like, “No, I want to do a No. 2,” but really commit to it and see how far I can take it because the first one went like d–n near top 10 on Billboard, so I’m trying to push this one to one.
