To further tease the fans, he shared a glimpse of the accompanying music video. The video pays homage to Nelly’s original version, as NLE Choppa dresses similarly to Nelly, sporting a sweatband and baggy attire reminiscent of the early 2000s. The scene is adorned with various dancing women, adding to the nostalgia and energy of the visuals.

After NLE Choppa previewed the music video clip for his new song “It’s Getting Hot,” Nelly showed his support by reposting the clip on his Instagram Story. Nelly added an encouraging message to the post, saying, “Go Up Nephew,” showing his approval and appreciation for NLE Choppa’s work.
In response to Nelly’s support, NLE Choppa expressed his gratitude and excitement. He replied to Nelly’s message, acknowledging that the song has now officially received the “Nelly Approved” stamp of approval, a significant endorsement from the legendary artist himself.
Despite the positive reception from Nelly and many fans, the preview has sparked some mixed reactions on social media. Some users have voiced their preference for the original track and feel that NLE Choppa’s touch on the song might not match up to the iconic status of Nelly’s “Hot In Herre.” As with any artist revisiting a classic, opinions will vary, and the debate over the reinterpretation of a beloved song continues among social media users.
NLE Choppa’s reimagined version of “Hot In Herre” has sparked a diverse range of reactions among social media users. While some claim that he “butchered” the hit and see it more as a cover than a fresh take, others appreciate the catchiness and fun elements of the track, making it a great addition to a summer playlist. The addition of lyrics surrounding gun violence has upset some fans, who preferred the innocence or suggestive nature of Nelly’s original lyrics.
The controversy surrounding the song and the strong reactions on Twitter have undoubtedly brought attention to NLE Choppa and his new release. Sampling classic songs, especially ones as impactful as “Hot In Herre,” often invites criticism, but it also generates significant interest and discussion. It’s possible that NLE Choppa knew this controversy might help him garner attention and create buzz around his new track. Whether intentional or not, the rapper has managed to capture the public’s attention through the polarizing reception of his song.
As with any creative work, opinions will vary, and artists take risks when reinterpreting beloved classics. In this case, NLE Choppa’s approach has ignited a conversation, and the track has its supporters despite the criticism. Only time will tell how the public’s perception of the song evolves and whether the controversy indeed worked in the rapper’s favor.
