Main summary

Key takeaways

Lifestyle

Key lifestyle changes (Choppa’s “new lifestyle”)

  • He describes major personal growth tied to becoming more settled:
    • Getting married / having a job
    • Feeling happier and more stable than in his earlier partying-focused period
  • He emphasizes discipline as the driver of change:
    • “Doing something you don’t feel like doing” builds discipline
    • Over time it becomes a habit and part of your health
  • He reframes “success” as family and stability (family, kids, stable home) rather than only money/streams.

Daily routine & health/fitness routine

  • Wake-up time: up at 5:00 AM
  • Sleep: about 9 hours per night
  • Training schedule:
    • Kickboxing in the morning/early routine
    • After work: food, then studio time
  • He connects exercising to mental strength improvement:
    • Exercising trains the mindset to act even when you don’t want to.

Weight loss / body goals

  • He says he wants to lose another ~15 kg.
  • He notes earlier training included injuries (e.g., black eyes, arm pain, toe issues).
  • Mentally, he frames fitness as improvement rather than insecurity.

Drug/medication “easy way out” reflection (Ozempic)

  • He previously used Ozempic:
    • He describes it as an “easy way out” (less hunger after injection once a week)
    • He later expresses concern that it’s not the right approach long-term, calling it the “easy way out,” not the way forward.

Diet/meal snippet mentioned

  • Mentions making/eating porridge (and earlier a reference to sardine sandwiches).

Discipline & life structure via work (call center)

  • He now works in a sales/call center environment rather than street life.
  • Reasons and benefits he highlights:
    • Builds a structured routine for life
    • Requires emotional control and adaptability when dealing with customers
    • Money is “clean,” with taxes and more careful spending
    • He feels prouder of himself, and says his mother is more proud too.

Perspective shift: from street/“ops” to reflection and music

  • He says he doesn’t live in the same mindset anymore:
    • No longer wants to rap about “drugs/weapons”
    • He’s focused on life lessons and personal reflection
  • He’s still in music and is writing again:
    • Talks about an upcoming album (or more tracks), and that fans are waiting for new releases
    • Mentions a reflective, hard song, including regrets about past “brainwashed” circles.

Relationship highlights (fiancée / wife-in-the-making)

  • He credits his fiancée with helping him stay calmer and grounded:
    • She didn’t simply “go along” with everything—she sets boundaries
    • Her presence helps him stay disciplined and positive
  • How they met:
    • She knew about his existence, but didn’t know his drill past until after dating started
    • She laughs about seeing the contrast between the old videos and who he is now
  • She describes him as:
    • Her best friend
    • “Genuinely calm” and a sweet person
    • Generous in small ways (e.g., giving “50 cents” to everyone in a hypothetical group)

Fitness + relationship as motivation loop

  • Their story is framed as mutually reinforcing:
    • Training discipline + work structure + supportive relationship
    • Less anger/violence mindset, more stability and future planning (marriage, plans, stability)

Notable locations, products, or speakers (as mentioned)

  • Locations: De Pijp (Amsterdam); Turkish place (mentioned); Bali (hypothetical reflection); a studio in Franco’s studio
  • Products/brands: Ozempic (mentioned); coffee/“quadruple espresso” (mentioned)
