“After watching the video, I got in contact with his mom and from there I was facetiming him and messaging him every day,” NLE Choppa explained in a voiceover. “Christmas was coming around the corner so I decided to grant all his wishes by buying him all the gifts he had asked for. I even flew out to Texas to go surprise him at the hospital.”

“With artistry and music you start to gain friends or gain people that you never woulda thought you would,” NLE Choppa said before visiting AJ. “There’s certain people you pick up on your journey? He’s one of those ones so this is the start of a friendship that I wanna carry in my heart and just carry for the rest of my life. So, ‘You got a friend in me,’ that’s all I want him to know.”
