Marissa Da’Nae Defends Son’s Name

When it comes to naming your child, it’s a deeply personal choice. But for celebrity parents, that choice often comes under intense public scrutiny. Marissa Da’Nae, the mother of rapper NLE Choppa’s son, recently found herself in the middle of a social media storm over her baby boy’s unique name, and she wasn’t having it.

Shutting Down the Trolls

The drama kicked off when a throwback post announcing the birth of NLE Choppa’s son, Chozen Wone Da’Shun Potts, resurfaced. While the original announcement was made back in August 2023, a user on X (formerly Twitter) decided to comment on a shared photo, calling the name “ChoZen” a “gamertag.” This comment clearly struck a nerve with Marissa Da’Nae, who wasted no time in clapping back.

Her initial response was fierce: “Be cool on my son, b****.” But she didn’t stop there. Da’Nae followed up with a series of tweets to clarify the correct spelling and defend the name itself. She emphasized that the name is “Chozen” (with a lowercase ‘z’) and pushed back against the idea that it’s an outlandish choice, stating, “And I want you m******s to stop acting like Chozen is just a wild a** name.”

Social Media Weighs In

As expected, the internet had a field day with the situation. While some users rallied behind Marissa, defending her right to choose her son’s name and criticizing the negativity, others couldn’t resist making jokes. Comments ranged from defending the name’s cuteness to comparing it to other unique celebrity baby names, like Nara Smith’s son, Slim Eazy.

Some users pointed out the irony of criticizing celebrity baby names when other choices might be seen as equally, if not more, unusual. The discussion highlighted the ongoing debate about individuality versus societal norms when it comes to naming children, especially in the public eye.

The Capital ‘Z’ Debate

Adding a layer of confusion, Marissa insisted on the lowercase ‘z’ spelling, while NLE Choppa’s original birth announcement post from 2023 actually showed “ChoZen” with a capital ‘Z’. This discrepancy left fans wondering about the official spelling. However, Marissa’s firm stance suggests that the lowercase ‘z’ is the preferred and current spelling.

Regardless of the capital ‘Z’ debate, Marissa Da’Nae made it clear that she will continue to correct anyone who misrepresents or criticizes her son’s name. It’s a reminder that celebrity parents often navigate a challenging landscape of public opinion when it comes to their children.
