NLE Choppa has been spotted hanging with Cristina Mackey, sparking dating rumors following her split from Rick Ross earlier this year.
The Slut SZN rapper appeared in Mackey’s Instagram Live on Thursday (December 5), seemingly bringing her food while she was getting her makeup done.
While he didn’t know she was streaming and initially responded, “Damn, you on all on Live!” he didn’t appear to mind and waved to the camera before stepping out of the frame.

Mackey and Rick Ross started dating in December 2023 amid speculation that the Maybach Music Group boss was involved with Pretty Vee, but called it quits after six months together.
“I’ve never experienced ‘getting left.’ I’m just not docile. I don’t feel played; the sales on mackeybody.com are thriving and I’m grateful,” Mackey wrote on Threads upon their split.
She continued: “The situation was beautiful and I meant every word during our amazing six month run. If others are upset about my joy/pride in the moment, that’s their stress to bear.
“We had a clean break two weeks ago and I never pretended to be the last. I embrace both negative and positive traction with love. And no, I won’t be appearing on anybody’s podcast.”
That same week, Rick Ross was spotted with a mystery woman while sat courtside at the Miami Heat’s game against the Detroit Pistons on March 5.
Rumors had already begun swirling that the two were no longer an item after Cristina Mackey cut short a livestream while she was in the gym after a Rick Ross song began playing over the speakers.
In other news, NLE Choppa is planning to switch things up and drop an album in a whole different genre by the year’s end.
Taking to X over the weekend, the Memphis rapper revealed he’s heading into the R&B space for his final release of 2024.
“Dropping A R&B Project Before Year Out Mama,” he wrote with heart emojis on Saturday (November 30).
The effort will follow September’s Slut SZN, which doubled as a soundtrack for his self-produced and directed remake of Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg‘s stoner comedy The Wash.
