Although NF and Eminem are compared to each other quite often, their comparison was something NF never really wanted. At one point in NF's life, he only listened to Eminem and is considered NF's prime influence. Both NF and Eminem use their platform and incredible talent of storytelling to produce emotional and expressive music in which Eminem actually praised NF for in an interview. Eminem was NF's prime influence from a young age since he started rapping, but he is also determined to keep his own style and keep his style seperate from traditional rappers.

As NF was raised in a faith-based home, Christian music has always had a big influence on him, most importantly Christian rappers such as Lecrae. Although NF really only mentions Lecrae's influence of Christian rapping during interviews and their rap style is quite different, the way Lecrae addresses his strong faith and presents it through music is evidently an important thing that NF considers whilst writing his own music.

Kendrick Lamar, like many of NF's influences, is an amazing storyteller through his music and is where NF gets a lot of inspiration for his own music. In his recent album HOPE, NF's song TURN MY BACK mentions a few rappers including Kendrick Lamar, saying "my list, my names, my pick, my taste"
