NLEChoppa Loses Powerade Deal After Memphis Grizzlies Baller Ja Morant’s Negative Repercussions




Following Ja's infamous video of him waving a gun, the NBA suspended him for eight games. This prompted Powerade to scrap their "What 50% More Means" ad campaign that featured Choppa's track. The TV spot was created to highlight the NCAA's March Madness tournament, according to the media outlet.

XXL has reached out to NLE Choppa for comment.

The Powerade commercial would have been an excellent look for NLE Choppa, who is a native of Memphis. Nevertheless, despite a missed opportunity to be in a national ad, TMZ reported that Choppa is not mad at Ja and is still a fan of him and his Memphis basketball team. In fact, last year, the 20-year-old rhymer walked the team out onto the court for their home opener.
