Singer-songwriter and rising pop star, LAROI, has confirmed that he and his girlfriend have officially ended their relationship. The news was revealed in an exclusive interview with Rolling Stone, where the 19-year-old artist opened up about the split and the reason behind it.
LAROI, whose real name is Charlton Kenneth Jeffrey Howard, first gained recognition through his collaborations with fellow Australian rapper, the late Juice WRLD. He then shot to stardom with his hit single “WITHOUT YOU”, which became a global sensation and even reached the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
The young artist has been in a public relationship with his girlfriend, whose identity has not been disclosed, for quite some time now. Fans have been speculating about the state of their relationship, especially after LAROI released his latest album “F*CK LOVE (SAVAGE)” in July, which contains lyrics that hint at a heartbreak.
In his interview with Rolling Stone, LAROI revealed that he and his girlfriend actually ended things back in June. He stated, “We broke up before the album came out. I just felt like I couldn’t really release an album called ‘F*CK LOVE’ and I’m still all in love and sh*t.” He also added that the split was mutual and amicable, and that they remain friends.
The news may come as a shock to some of LAROI’s fans who have been following his relationship on social media. The couple often shared photos and videos of their romantic trips and outings, and their love for each other seemed genuine and strong.
But as LAROI explained, the split was necessary for him to fully embrace the theme of his album, which focuses on the ups and downs of love and relationships. He shared, “I feel like I needed to experience something that would give me that heartbreak, so I could make [the album] to the best of my ability.”
Despite the heartache, LAROI is staying positive and using his experience as inspiration for his music. He also emphasized the importance of staying true to himself and his emotions in his art. “I’m not gonna be that guy who’s like, ‘Nah, I didn’t go through that.’ I went through that. I’m still going through it,” he said.
The talented musician also revealed that he has been working on new music and is excited for fans to hear it. He has been busy touring and performing at various festivals, including the recent Rolling Loud Miami and Lollapalooza, where he wowed the crowd with his energetic performances.
LAROI’s success at such a young age is undeniable, and his honest and relatable music has resonated with fans all over the world. With his rising fame and talent, it’s clear that this is only the beginning for the young artist.
As for his love life, LAROI is focused on his music and personal growth for now. He shared that he is not actively looking for a new relationship, but is open to whatever comes his way. “I’m just trying to be the best version of myself and whatever happens, happens,” he said.
With his determination and positive attitude, LAROI is sure to continue making waves in the music industry. We can’t wait to see what he has in store for us and we wish him all the best in his future endeavors.
