In our exclusive clip from "The Jason Lee Show," the host put pressure on Choppa as he grilled him about his crush on Ice Spice.

His infatuation with Ice Spice is already out there, but NLE Choppa explains his feelings for the Bronx rapper. Ice Spice is widely accepted as Rap's new "it" girl who is proving to be more than a one-hit-wonder. "Munch" may have helped her climb into celebrity circles, but Ice Spice continues to build on her growing fanbase with each release. Choppa revealed that Spice made his heart pitter-patter, and Jason Lee questioned him about the potential romance. The Memphis rapper sat down for The Jason Lee Show, and he seemed coy while discussing the "In Ha Mood" hitmaker.

"Do you love Ice Spice from a distance?" Lee asked in our exclusive clip from NLE Choppa's episode. It's a valid question, considering he even released a song named after her. The rapper laughed before saying, "Ice Spice [is] beautiful." Lee wanted Choppa's thoughts on why the Like...? artist is "so poppin' right now." He suggested he wasn't as tapped into this generation's fandom but said he sees she's making waves. "I mean...you just gotta be marketable nowadays," answered Choppa. Then, Lee put on a little pressure and continued to ask about NLE and Ice exchanging flirtations.

NLE Choppa Is Impressed With Ice Spice

Choppa further shared that he didn't have to slide in Spice's DMs because he got her number. "We talked about music," he revealed. Lee was curious if there were any other topics discussed. "Nah, just music." The rapper was noticeably restrained with his answers, and it wasn't missed by the host. "He was boisterous on every other question," Lee joked. However, he wasn't letting it go and asked Choppa about his texts with Spice.

"I don't text her no more," Choppa said with a smile. "She changed her number. So, I watch from a distance. I see she's doing a lot of big things. The matchmaking attempts continued, but Choppa wasn't pressing it. He seems content with where things are but said he would make the time if she were interested in a vegan date. Lee added, "I think y'all would make a good couple."

Ice Spice Has The Boys' Attention

Meanwhile, NLE Choppa isn't the only person with a thing for Ms. Spice. Comedian Druski has been shooting his shot, as well. He told Shannon Sharpe, “Yeah, she’s somethin’. She got a little something on her." Druski added, “I really would—I like shawty. I ain’t—that’s why I told her, it ain’t even about the music and all that. To me, you gon’ get me.” Watch our exclusive The Jason Lee Show clip with NLE Choppa above.
