103.5 The Beat Radio emcee "Stichiz" says Potts or "NLE Choppa" is one of hip hop's hottest artists.
"Back in 2020 he was actually XXL Freshman class. His music was skyrocketing, he was on Billboard Hot 100... It was last November I believe where he pivoted and kind of started (getting) more into health and wellness talking about more positivity and that coincided with his music," Stichiz said.
Potts was released on bail from Broward County's Main Jail in Fort Lauderdale. NBC 6 reached to Potts and have not heard back from him or a representative.
