Follow us as we further explore the life of Lala, and look in on how she gained her wealth and fame, diving into the naked truth about the young lady, and her successful career in modelling, and social influencing.
Early Personal Life
Born on 16 May 1999, in Atlanta, Georgia, United States, Lala celebrated her 24th birthday in early 2023, already boasting of astounding success in her young career. Unfortunately, not much information is available about Lala’s early life, as she hasn’t shared much about it with the media.
However, it’s known that Lala was born to Simone, though little is known about her, and she remains reluctant to speak of or share information about her father. Lala’s birth name is Neyla, but she shortened it to Lala because her younger sister couldn’t pronounce her full name.
Education
Similarly, Lala hasn’t spoken publicly about her education career. As such, it’s impossible to determine where in Atlanta she attended school, or what her highest qualifications might be.
Career
Lala started her early career as a model and achieved some success. Lala signed with The Wilhelmina Models agency, though due to her secrecy, it can’t be determined exactly when she landed her first contract.
Her first appearance was in the aforementioned music video “Naughty”; this early exposure proved to be a beneficial boost to her modelling career, as Lala continued enjoying further success.
Lala has worked with various brands throughout her early modelling career, some of which include popular names such as DERMA-E and Morphe Brushes. Lala is also an ambassador for Savage X Fenty and campaigned with Khloe Kardashian for Khloe’s Good American project.

Lala has amassed more than a million followers on Instagram, and nearly half a million on YouTube, and continues to be popular with her loyal and growing audience.

Later Personal Life
While Lala has earned fame as a model and social media influencer, her messy love life has more than done its fair share of earning her exposure, as it’s been featured in numerous teen blogs as an interesting topic for discussion.
Some include sharing relationships with the same men her best friend, Rubi Rose, dated, including Ian Connor and Playboi Carti.

There were also rumours suggesting that Lala had an affair with Orlando Scandrick, but this was never confirmed, nor denied.
