Quavo is the new headliner for East Tennessee State University’s Student Government Association (SGA) Spring 2025 Concert alongside guest artists Kaliii and Josh Levi.
“We were looking forward to welcoming NLE Choppa to ETSU, and we know many in our campus community were excited about his upcoming performance. Unfortunately, due to some concerns for his health, the NLE Choppa team has made the difficult decision to cancel several scheduled appearances, including the concert at ETSU,” said Carter Warden, director of Student Activities & Organizations.
“At ETSU, people come first, and we want to share our full support for NLE Choppa’s decision to prioritize his health and wellbeing. We appreciate his team’s transparency and professionalism throughout this process, and we hope to welcome him to our campus in the future when the time is right. Our thoughts are with him, and we wish him a speedy and full recovery.”
