NLE Choppa is a devoted father to two children: Clover, his daughter, and ChoZen, his son. The rapper, whose real name is Bryson Potts, welcomed his daughter Clover Brylie Potts in 2020 with ex-girlfriend Mariah. A few years later, in 2023, he and his former partner Marissa Da’Nae celebrated the birth of their son, ChoZen Wone Da’Shun Potts.
In a June 2024 appearance on The Rap Dads Show, NLE Choppa shared the impactful lessons fatherhood has taught him. “It teaches you that life isn’t all about you,” he reflected. “Your kids are an extension of you, and that’s something I see clearly.” He went on, “When I look at my daughter and my son, I think, wow—they’re picking up my traits.”

Here’s a closer look at NLE Choppa’s two kids, Clover and ChoZen.
Clover Brylie Potts, Age 4
Clover Brylie Potts was born to NLE Choppa and Mariah on June 20, 2020. In May 2023, NLE Choppa expressed how becoming a father changed his perspective on life.
“My ‘ANGEL,’ ” he wrote in an Instagram post that’s since been deleted. “You’re why I LIVE … Knowing you were on the way gave me something to look forward to, something to truly live for.” Since then, Clover has made several appearances on her dad’s social media, with the pair often seen in matching outfits.
In March 2024, NLE Choppa posted a series of now-deleted photos on Instagram, where he and Clover sported pink jackets, hats, and gloves during a spa day. “Spa Days Be The Best Days With You 🍀💕💕,” he captioned the post.
For Clover’s fourth birthday, NLE Choppa treated her to a memorable day at Sesame Place at SeaWorld San Diego. In a since-deleted video, Clover is seen joyfully hugging one of the characters.
She was also all smiles as she began her first day of school in June 2024. “First Day Of School Chauffeur Picked Her Up In A Cullinan #RR 🫡,” he wrote alongside a series of photos, one showing the father and daughter grinning in a classroom.
ChoZen Wone Da’Shun Potts, Age 1
NLE Choppa and Da’Nae welcomed their son, ChoZen Wone Da’Shun, on August 16, 2023. The rapper shared a glimpse of the delivery room on social media to announce ChoZen’s arrival.
“The Best Gift God Has Given This Year, Excuse My Humor She Was In Pain So I Had To Be A Comedian LOL. ALL PRAISE TO THE MOST,” he captioned a clip, which has since been removed. In Instagram Stories, he shared the special importance behind his son’s unique name.
“ChoZen means picked by God, God’s favorite, and represents a peaceful energy,” he explained, adding that Wone signifies that his son has already “won” in life. Da’Shun combines NLE Choppa’s middle name, LaShun, with Marissa’s, Da’Nae.
Prior to shifting his Instagram content to focus on music promotions, the rapper often posted moments with his son. In May 2024, he dedicated a heartfelt post to ChoZen, sharing a series of photos of their time together. “NLE Cool Or Whatever But This What Bryson Loves The Most ,” he captioned the post, referring to his real name.
