NLE Choppa celebrates the arrival of his son along with Marissa Da'Nae

The rapper has shared a series of snippets and short clips on Instagram to express his excitement surrounding the arrival of his newborn. He wrote on Instagram that Chozen is the best gift he has received from God this year.

In some of the snaps that he shared, NLE was being goofy, so he asked viewers to excuse his humor in the caption, explaining that he had to be a comedian since Marissa was in a lot of pain.

The first photo is of the rapper lying down on the hospital bed with his son sleeping on his chest wrapped in blankets while multiple Polaroid photos are strewn next to them, which are likely photos clicked during or after Chozen's birth.

NLE also shared a short clip of Chozen's circumcision and one where Marissa was probably throwing up. The rapper probably got negative feedback for such videos, but afterward, in his story, NLE wrote that Marissa told him to post the video online and that people should know how to take jokes.

The last photo on the post showed Chozen gripping NLE's index finger with his small hand while he was held by Marissa. Fans showered the rapper with congratulatory messages and expressed their happiness for both NLE and Marissa.
