Memphis rapper NLE Choppa has officially announced his engagement to Erica Ravén, sharing a series of intimate proposal photos on Instagram during the holiday season. This significant personal milestone shifts the public spotlight from recent rap-related headlines to a major life event for the artist, following months of public attention and speculation about their relationship.

The announcement was made through a short series of photos posted to NLE Choppa's Instagram account. In the images, he is seen down on one knee, presenting a diamond engagement ring to a visibly surprised Ravén. A subsequent photo captures Ravén holding up the new ring, showcasing the moment of acceptance. Choppa captioned the heartwarming post simply, “Now That’s Gangsta,” and subsequently removed all other images from his Instagram feed, focusing solely on this new chapter.

The news quickly resonated across various social media platforms, with fans and peers extending their congratulations as the images circulated widely. While NLE Choppa has not yet provided further details regarding the specifics of the proposal, this understated announcement marks a distinct pivot in his public persona as the year concludes.

Rumors regarding a romantic involvement between Choppa and Ravén had only begun to circulate publicly in recent months. In October, the couple shared affectionate posts online, including a photograph of them together that significantly fueled speculation about the nature of their relationship. Weeks prior, Choppa had reposted an Instagram Story originally shared by Ravén, which depicted the two sharing a kiss, although neither had publicly addressed the growing attention at that time.

This joyous engagement news arrives after a period where NLE Choppa's name frequently appeared in headlines for reasons unrelated to his personal life. In recent months, the rapper was engaged in a public dispute with fellow artist NBA YoungBoy. This tension involved the release of tracks such as “KO” and “Hello Revenge,” which touched upon concerns of influence and accountability within the hip-hop community. The conflict even escalated to a brief confrontation involving members of YoungBoy’s camp in Houston, though no further incidents have been officially reported.
