Flew to a job sprayed a field and was returning to ZZZ. Called El Paso (ELP) Tower on [my] cell phone to let them know I would be flying on the [edge] to pass through the airspace they approved. They informed me of Aircraft Y in the area. Did not visually see a helicopter. Aircraft Y saw me and said he had to take action to not get near me. The event happened west of the ELP airspace. Exiting the El Paso airspace El Paso Tower (Name) asked for my phone number just in case he needed to get in touch with me on the incident.
A UAS pilot reported receiving clearance to fly through Class C airspace. After entering the airspace ATC told the operator they had flown near a helicopter that had to maneuver to avoid the UAS.
