Born in Vietnam and raised in Maryland, Lovely Mimi’s rise to stardom is nothing short of remarkable. Once an angry and rebellious teenager, Mimi spent much of her youth in juvenile detention centers before finding an outlet in nail artistry. Her entrepreneurial spirit led her to open her own salon, but it wasn’t until she began sharing her story on Instagram that she skyrocketed to fame. Known for her loud, unapologetic persona, she quickly gained millions of followers, even landing a spot on “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta”. Her vibrant personality and business acumen have made her a beloved figure across social media platforms, especially among her loyal, mostly female fanbase.
In addition to her TV success, Mimi has been making waves in the music world. Her latest single, “How U Do That”, is her first track featuring her partner, Mr. Stretch. “We wanted to capture the fun, dynamic nature of our relationship,” she shares. The song, produced with Starr, reflects their real-life connection, blending club vibes with the playful chemistry they’ve built over 14 years of knowing each other.
Mimi’s journey has been filled with ups and downs, including a painful divorce that left her emotionally drained. But her strength and passion for family have seen her through. Now, she balances her career with being a mother to two children, J. Vaun (15) and Kamyah (10), and remains dedicated to growing her brand and connecting with her audience through music. With her energy and authenticity, Lovely Mimi is showing no signs of slowing down, proving she’s much more than just a viral personality.
