Background

Like, it could be like a gun, a sword, anything." According to him, "Opp Stoppa" revolved around his life but it "really don't connect to me like that anymore." He also shouts out to Chief Keef in the song. Nahmir revealed that the song was originally a freestyle rap and composed in 2018.

The song began trending on TikTok in 2020, eventually becoming the top song of the platform.
