A brand-new basketball court in Raleigh donated by rapper NLE Choppa was destroyed by fire less than two weeks after opening.

According to WREG, the fire department received a call about the court being engulfed in flames Sunday evening.

Once the blaze was put out, officials determined the cause of the fire was due to a pile of fireworks that had been ignited in the center of the court.

Nick Walker, Memphis Parks Director, said the court was a “total loss.”

“It is very sad that this random action destroyed a new and valued community asset. Memphis Parks really appreciates the partnership and sponsorship that led to the creation of The Dream Court, and we really look forward to finding a way to get an asset of similar quality back into the Raleigh community,” he said.

“We have been in touch with Lieberman Charities and NLE Choppa to express appreciation and support for the Raleigh community.” he added.

Fox 13 reached out to NLE’s mother, Angeleta Potts, about the situation and said, “All types of things run through your mind and it’s like, who in the world would destroy a basketball court that is built for kids.”
