Who Is Slaylonie?
Lalonie Evelyn Davis, known online as Slaylonie, is an internet personality who uses her platform to challenge societal norms and celebrate individuality. Born in 1999 and raised in isolation (according to her own words), she turned to the internet to communicate and connect with the outside world.
She was homeschooled until age 11 and even attended university early as a prodigy kid. But when her parents pulled her out and placed her in public school, that’s when many of her troubles began.
Today, as an African American, Puerto Rican, and Colombian femme, she identifies as an intersectional feminist, embracing her identity with unapologetic authenticity. Still, while her public persona now radiates artsy empowerment, her past tells a far messier, more complicated story, one that many of her newer fans might not even know exists.
Building a “Neurodiverse Dreamland”
On the surface, Slaylonie’s world is colorful and affirming. Her website, slaylonie.com, brands itself as a “neurodiverse dreamland,” showcasing digital art, mixed media, and illustrations that blur the line between cringe and camp.
She’s open about her autism diagnosis and frequently folds her neurodivergence into her content. As she once shared on Instagram:
“Join me as I share a dream about the beach and navigating autism with humor.” — @slayloniee
These moments, blending humor and honesty, normalize the neurodivergent experience. In a way, that’s the Slaylonie paradox: deeply personal but always performative. And you know what? Honestly, that’s slay.
Music, Marriage, and Messy Divorce Drama
Beyond visual art, Slaylonie has ventured into music, releasing tracks that resonate with her audience on a deeply personal level. Her music, available on platforms like Spotify and Apple Music, explores themes of identity, emotion, and empowerment, further solidifying her multifaceted presence in the digital space.
She began making music in 2020, collaborating with Ohio-based rapper Chxpo, her alleged ex-husband.
Chxpo is a Cleveland-born rapper known for his gritty trap beats and raw, aggressive delivery. He’s a founding member of BBE and BMB Deathrow, and also affiliated with Doe Boy’s Rubberband Money Gang.
Rising out of the SoundCloud rap era, Chxpo built a cult following with his relentless mixtape drops and chaotic energy. His lyrics often touch on struggle, street life, and survival, themes that earned him both underground respect and plenty of controversy.
While never quite breaking into mainstream stardom, Chxpo carved out a lane in the underground rap scene, with fans praising his authenticity and unpolished edge.
Slaylonie has referenced her divorce to Chxpo in multiple posts across Instagram, TikTok, and Reddit:
“I got married at 19 and divorced at 22 now I’m 24 living my best life now that my frontal lobe has developed #divorce”
On Reddit, she opened up about how music helped her cope:
Hello!
So today I released a music video about my experiences with BPD and subsequently getting divorced.
I made this song two years ago after I first got divorced, and I just dropped a music video for it because it means a lot to me.
…
My music isn’t the highest quality (I called it Roblox core), but It’s what I use to cope and I think that it gets my message and emotions across.
BPD made it really hard for me to find myself, but once I learned to accept myself I became more confident.
Do any of you relate?
Slaylonie doesn’t just write and perform. She also edits her own music videos, proving she is a creative force who crafts both the sound and the visuals of her world.
Slaylonie’s Plastic Surgery Allegations
Slaylonie’s physical transformation has also become a point of fixation online, particularly ongoing speculation and discussion around alleged butt implants and breast implants.
Multiple archived posts and side-by-side images circulated on forums and social media have fueled claims that Slaylonie underwent cosmetic enhancement procedures. These claims are supported by publicly available photos shared by Slaylonie herself, as well as commentary from users who tracked her appearance changes over time.
While Slaylonie has not issued a formal medical statement confirming specific procedures, the visual comparison shave led many to conclude that her dramatic body change was surgically assisted rather than natural.
UPDATE: Slaylonie seemingly confirmed her butt implants on Instagram.
On the left is my natural body vs on the right is an app I just found that edits your body in videos! I don’t usually write long posts but I know I have a lot of young girl followers and I have a message for you all: Please love yourself and don’t let Instagram make you insecure 💚 Everyone has some sort of insecurities but please don’t scroll on instagram all day comparing yourself to people you don’t even know 💚 nothing is real even tho my body isn’t edited on the left I’m using makeup, wigs, lighting, angles, clothing tricks, a push up bra, etc. and I have lip injections & boob implants to enhance myself just to look cute on Instagram, In real life 98% of the time I’m wearing no makeup, I’m in my bonnet and wearing my husband’s clothes laying in bed looking at art. I LOOK LIKE A BUM And I’m happy and comfortable with that! Instagram is a very small percentage of somebody’s life. I look happy & cute in my photos but I deal with mental health issues (s/o to my followers who have been here for years and remember how open I used to be about my mental illnesses) and all kinds of real life problems everyday, we’re all human. I like to think of Instagram as an art form, it’s all presentation and intentions, my Instagram account is like my digital avatar. It’s just for fun. Don’t make the digital world make you feel insecure about the real world. I don’t think that Facetune or editing yourself is a bad thing!! I think that everyone should be able to express themselves and present themselves the way the want to!! I smooth my skin, change the lighting, put filters, add sparkles, & fix my makeup if it’s messed up. If you want to look like an imvu character go for it!! I’m getting butt implants next week because I love dramatic looks! But the point is do not for a moment even think of Instagram as the real world. Everything is smoke and mirrors. Everyone wants to be their best self. Just have fun and remember that you are PERFECT just the way the are and if you see someone you want to look like on Instagram remember that they want to look like that too! Angles, makeup, editing, clothing, etc. Everything is intentional. And that’s okay. Don’t let likes rule your life💚
The images are too graphic for me to post here, but if you’re curious head over to Reddit under the subreddit r/slaylonie.
Slaylonie’s Controversies & Online Drama
Slaylonie’s rise to online fame hasn’t been without drama. From her bold self-expression to her controversial friendships, forums and gossip threads have dissected nearly every aspect of her public persona.
Friendship Fallout with Rap*st Friend
Her most infamous friendship was with Esme (@mycatismean), an internet personality with her own trail of scandals. Esme was accused of sexually assaulting a friend named Jimmy, and Slaylonie’s name got dragged right alongside:
“Slaylonie is no better either watched her do it all.”
A user with a personal connection to Jimmy came out Anonymous users had plenty more to say:
“I fucking know Jimmy and he’s honestly really slow and passive…he lives in his parents shed and smokes weed all day…I am not surprised he’d be taken advantage of and deny it to cover up esme because he’s one of those people who tries really hard to fit in.”
“Also it’s pretty convenient that lalonie dips out the moment esme gets in trouble. true friend right there…”
“I am going to say esme is probably guilty because she hasn’t made any statement on all the accusations.”
And of course, the internet never stops at serious accusations. Users also dragged her appearance and interests:
“Does she not realize how gross her makeup looks?”
what the hell is she doing and what kind of dr*gs is she on
Others have come for her for being cringe.
Some threads even resurfaced disturbing old content from when Slaylonie was a minor. According to one user:
“Esme is a heroin addict and posted a picture of Slaylonie sucking dck at age 16 I guess. Kek Esme is such a looney btch.”
Others chimed in:
“They’re both awful in this situation but I love when shitty people get exposed.”
Public Perception
Slaylonie has long been described as unapologetically “crusty” and provocative (not my words btw). She’s loved by fans for her authenticity but ripped apart by haters for the same reason.
One particularly harsh forum comment reads:
“Omg. I came across this vile individual a few years back online via some stupid post on Facebook. They are a real Cnt. Serious attitude and behavioral issues. Nasty, really nasty.”
A separate Lipstick Alley discussion showed the negative perception Slaylonie has, bringing up controversial takes.
Does anyone still follow her? She’s on onlyfans now, I always got a really sad vibe from her. But she seems pretty happy w/ her new bf. She got butt implants recently and they look decent. Her bf looks questionable.
back when i had twitter i used to follow her. she was or still is a dope artist. i know as soon as she turned 18 she started s*x work. it was said she’s also in art school? not sure what she’s doing now it’s been a while lol
I’m pretty sure she had assault allegations against her when she was in the states so I’m not surprised she dipped
Even when she shared her heartbreaking backstory in an unlisted YouTube video, touching on suicide attempts, abuse, and addiction, and commenters weren’t kind:
“Necroing an old thread but she just posted this video basically explaining how she didn’t know about her underaged mentally ill friend rping people…”*
“Some parts are fucked up but she’s not entirely innocent imo.”
“When is Slaylonie going to address the underage videos of her sucking dick?”
The pattern? Vulnerability met with mockery.
Heartbreaking Confession: Slaylonie Speaks Out
In an unlisted YouTube video, Slaylonie addresses the drama, but she doesn’t stop there. She opens up about her traumatic childhood, her battles with addiction, grooming, and the darkest parts of her past. It’s raw, unfiltered, and devastating to watch.
The video feels less like content and more like a confession with Slaylonie telling the internet truths she’s carried for years.
Here’s the full transcript, in her own words (trigger warning: mentions of suicide, abuse, grooming, and addiction):
The thought of this makes my head hurt. I wanted to keep quiet, but I think I finally realized my worth. My mom and dad told me I was special. They always knew I was smart. I was home schooled until 11, because they thought it’d be good for my heart. They didn’t want me to be subjected to bullying or horseplay, but what they didn’t know is how I would instead spend my day. I didn’t have friends because I never left the house. I instead turned to the Internet, seeking solace with my computer mouse. I always loved art and from there and turned to animation.
All the anime girls were young like me and that became my salvation. What went wrong? Well I came across the board. It was on a place called 4chan where I found all the evils of the world to be stored. But I made friends, so many friends. They loved me cuz I was just like the anime girls. I had a flat chest and when I spoke my voice was so high-pitched and make their hearts whirl. And then I fell in love with trans girl who was 19. Yes sure, I was 12, but I was mature for my age. Did I mention I was in college from age 11 to 13?
She is my girlfriend and so she’s heard everything with me. Her thoughts. Her fears. Her desires. And once and many pictures of her body. That’s what they love most—the 20 year olds —to show me themselves. I’d go on cam, and I would show them my body and they would ask me to show them what things I could fit in myself. I began to hate myself. and I couldn’t figure out why. December 2012, I wanted to end so I tried to make myself die. My parents wondered why would I do that. Why did their lovely talented daughter will leave this world?
They decided because I had no friends, I needed to be social. So, I was withdrawn from college and I was enrolled in high school, only to be faced with more hell. Two weeks into my first time in public school, I was so naïve and dumb. I met a boy and he told me he was going to a water park that weekend that I should come. When I got there, he told me and I was his girlfriend. It was a beautiful day, but then it just wouldn’t end. On the way home, he stopped at a park. I told him I was supposed to go home and he told me to shush as he undressed me in the dark.
“It’s okay to do this because we love each other” that’s what he said. When I was 13 you were 18 and also I thought I was gay! But you were a man and you told me things were supposed to go this way. You did it three more times and you told me you wanted to break up and you went away. But the feelings you brought to me and the places you touch me, they would always be there to stay. and for the next two years and a half that I was in high school I had to see your little brother and your little sister in my classes every single day. and I wondered if they knew that their older brother’s faces haunted me every time I close my eyes. But they didn’t and that’s okay. It’s really no surprise because no one ever cared anyway.
When I was 16, I fell in love with a boy. He was my age. I was so happy. It was like a feeling that I couldn’t even gauge. And I had a friend who I very much loved and trusted. He was 18, and I slept over at his house. And my heart was once more busted, because that night I took two bars. I told him I didn’t want to – I had a boyfriend. He kept touching me and telling me “it was okay because what friends do.” To this day, I’m not sure if I forgiven you. The next week I broke up with my boyfriend.
The next week, I didn’t know what to do, and once more I took to my computer mouse to find solace in the Internet. I started making art with the world I saw and when I hit 1,000 followers is when her and I met. She made me feel like I was normal. She made me feel like it was her and I versus this big scary world. Because in her eyes I thought I saw myself. What I really saw was our reflection of my own suffering. She was 17 and I was 16 and I looked up to her. She was underage and she was fu*king guys 20+ and they all seemed to fu*k with her. And so I thought maybe I was okay. Maybe it was normal. Maybe all those things that happened to me just average days.
I didn’t want to be a victim. I wanted to prove to myself that I was okay. I wanted to prove that all that stuff? I had wanted it. I wanted to prove but that’s the way they were supposed to go. So in an effort to reclaim my body, I followed in her footsteps and she would hold my hand while I sucked d*ck. What was wrong with this didn’t really click. And, like, if I didn’t want to do it, I was somehow “internally misogynistic.” “Pro hoe feminism” she preached. I didn’t understand that because I was underage. It was so sick. I remember her taking selfies one time. It was all fun and games until my 3am thoughts when I realized all my pains. They all knew my age and I didn’t snitch so it was okay.
This part is the one that is the hardest for me to say. When I was 16, I would have sex with men in their fifties for money. I never went alone, she was always with me. Sometimes they had her watch because they thought it was kinky. If you’re underage, it does not count as sex work. You are a victim and you were hurt. You may not think so now but you will remember it later. Baby your memory says you wanted it, but it’s a traitor. And here’s the thing: at that time everyone knew. Yes Samone Kidane, I’m talking to you too. Remember that night June 23rd 2016 when I fill up your gas tank and you drove me to an old guy’s apartment and hotel rooms so you could split the money too.
Isaiah, you were there that night too. But no one said anything. Esme live-tweeted a whole sugar daddy thread that night. And no one said anything. Never was I ever sober for any of it. I always had to be on xans because I would get so scared. No one said anything. No one seemed to care. But then to turn it around on me? How is that fair? Samone, do you remember what I told you about how I woke up to that man f*cking me in my sleep? You responded, “I told you he was sus” and kept hanging out with him for weeks. I tried to kill myself two days before I turned 17. Samone, do you remember how you saw my cuts and laughed at me so mean? Before I met Esme, at 16 1/2 my body count was barely four. By my 17th birthday, it was 21…22…maybe more.
A few days after I turned 17. My parents realized what’s going on they sent me to rehab. I was a severely mentally ill underage girl whose “friends” hadn’t seemed to care. At rehab, I heard my diagnosis: ADHD, bipolar disorder, and BPD. Yet, I still didn’t get it. I had therapy every single day, five times a day. But I still didn’t get it. They tried to tell me it wasn’t normal for a 16 17 year old girl to behave in this way. I told myself they’re just misogynistic. They just don’t get it. By the end of rehab, I had begun to understand with my pages of notebooks talking about why she had been a bad friend.
My therapist had me acted out at least four different times about how I and her friendship and make you realize your crimes. For the first time in my life, I truly felt stable. I could finally think. I finally felt able. When I got out of rehab, I was determined. But just like any abusive relationship leaving is so much easier on paper. I came back to dozens of types from you saying you changed. Dozens of messages saying it’d no longer be this way. You said we would run away together in January 2017. “We should go to San Fran and make our own money.” I had been isolated away in rebab so long and despite all the things I learned, I went back to you. Because you made me feel like I belonged, but at the same time I thought like I couldn’t go. Because my empathy in the end will always be my biggest foe. I mistook your manipulation as charisma. But the things you said to me were no mistake.
All the times you told me about how you’d kill yourself if I leave. All the times you told me you’d be unable to go on anymore if I wasn’t your friend. I wasn’t able to see how f*cked up it was for you to threaten me with your end. And to all my real friends. you told me that what they said was wrong. They told me you were using me, but you told me that it was actually them all along. But slowly, I began to steal the ways you used me as a toy. To you I was an accessory you used to bring yourself joy.
And I want to apologize to ones I misled. Most of the people had s*x with knew my age but there were two and three whom which I left my age unsaid. It was engrained in my head that age doesn’t matter. The people who took advantage of rod me “I wish you hadn’t told me your age,” but then we’d still have s*x. They told much not to tell my age until I turned 18 so sometimes I felt their words echo in my head. I wouldn’t tell the next. To those two or three I am truly sorry I didn’t disclose. I was so afraid of disappointing those who has known. Why did I want to protect people who hurt me? Whose faces is still haunt me.
I told myself that it must’ve have been my fault even though they knew I was underage. They still wanted me. I wanted to be so desperately accepted and I learned that at age 11 that to do so I needed to use my body. And oh Esme, you truly made me feel without your approval and validation I was nobody. We started to hang out less as I became stronger. You got hooked on heroin. and I knew the end would begin. And at this time, it’s why I got a boyfriend. I didn’t go out much and instead I dedicated most of time to him because when I was with you heroin is all you would smoke. “If you love me you’ll take one hit” are the words I pretended you never spoke.
And then one day I heard a rumor that you r*ped someone and my life flipped around. I didn’t know what to do. I had to our knowledge that she was an abuser. But to acknowledge that I had to acknowledge that she abused me. And only good memories would flood back when I thought of you. Another times you yelled and called me stupid. But at times we were happy me and you. Then people tried to sat that I had known? And what I had watched? What was the between people thinking I’m a r*pe apologist and me actually being one? I couldn’t comprehend. I was 17 and a half trying to understand where it all began.
I wrote a 13-page statement and people told me I was trying to play victim. No one’s even think for a moment I might have actually been one. I didn’t say all this because I know I am NOT alone. Please don’t let anyone ever try to make you their home. I wish I would have left the friendship sooner. I wish I would have known what she was doing to others. I don’t know where that accusation came from. That I was a witness. The thought of seeing those things happen cause me physical sickness.
Men can be r*ped and emotional abuse is still abuse too. When I heard about what happened I didn’t want to believe it. Now when I look back I can finally see it. How the girl and the people that I trusted so much we’re capable hurting me and others simply with their touch. It was so hard realized that all these people they weren’t actually my friends. It was like I snapped out some big game of play pretend. No one ever told me that was happening to me wasn’t okay. I was abused by my environment until I found my own way. I am a victim and you don’t have to believe it. This message isn’t for you.
But for the others who also live it and to all the people who stood by and watched I just want to know. Why didn’t you say anything while my innocence was being botched? Everyone knew. They were so many people involved. Yeah, I harbor no hatred. They say it must be my fault after all. I am barely 18 now and I’m still trying to comprehend the years of trauma that people are expecting me to defend. I have accepted that the opinions of random people don’t change the truth. And that is something I am learning to own.
So I’ll ignore the subtweets and I’ll never accept defeat. You can say what you want. That I’m lying or that I’m stupid, but it won’t make my voice any more muted. And if you can relate to any of this, I am so so sorry. You may have thought you wanted it at 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 or 17 but those memories are wrong. But it’s okay it’s not something you could have foreseen. Because if you’re under 18 you cannot consent. You are innocent and you are vulnerable and this was not meant
And please remember: if you are the first, you won’t be the last. “Mature for your age but pedophilia isn’t a spill you can just cast. There are so many different types of abuse. You have made this far already I promise you won’t lose. People will say what they may, but the truth you own is something no can ever take away. I know may be hard to realize the ones you love you may not be who you thought. But acceptance is a battle that must be fought and never let anyone tell you that your trauma was not enough. Never let anyone make you feel like the pain you feel is just a bluff. I’ve told my story, but please don’t feel like if tell yours. You don’t owe anyone the knowledge of your personal wars. You have nothing to prove. To anyone. Let my words remind you you are still alive. You have won.
Whether celebrated for her boldness or criticized for her choices, Slaylonie remains at the center of online chatter, her name impossible to ignore in artsy Twitter and Instagram circles.
From Los Angeles to Seoul: Reinventing Herself in Korea
Meanwhile, Slaylonie has seemingly moved from online and has rebranded herself in Korea. Slaylonie has shared that her time in Korea has been largely positive and eye-opening. Posting on social media, she reflected on her experiences:
“Korea has been kind to me personally 🤍 There are good and bad people in every country, but the friends I’ve made there are very sweet souls 💕💖✨ My biggest point is that compared to where I’m from (Los Angeles), I don’t feel like my life is in danger every time I leave the house.” — @slaylonie
She lives in Hapjeong, Seoul, near the bustling Hongdae district, and appreciates the openness and curiosity of the local young crowd:
“The people in that area are mostly young, open-minded, accepting, and interested in other cultures. I’m sure I’d have a different experience in Korea if I lived in the countryside… but the area that my apartment is in is pretty fun and foreigner friendly. 🥳✨”
Slaylonie contrasts her Korean experience with life in Los Angeles, noting safety and cultural differences:
“Even if there’s some clubs in Korea that turn away foreigners, no foreigners in Korea have been 🔫 and 💀 by the Korean police, which is what I’m used to in Los Angeles. 🙃”
Her reflections paint a picture of Korea as a generally safer, more welcoming environment, at least in the urban districts she’s explored. This glimpse into her expat life adds a humanizing layer to her internet persona and shows a side of her beyond the drama and controversies.
Slaylonie & Dbo: A Creative Power Couple in the K-Hip-Hop Scene
If there’s one thing Koreans and international fans agree on, it’s that Slaylonie and rapper Dbo are definitely a thing (since at least 2013). The two went public at Seoul Fashion Week 2024, holding hands and looking very much like a couple.
Creative Collaborations
Slaylonie has been directly involved in Dbo’s music projects. Notably, she is featured as a co-lyricist (both credited as freestyling) in the official music video “Walk in the Party”, released on December 28, 2023 and directed by ESVP/ESVP_film.
The cover art for the track was also created collaboratively by Slaylonie and Dbo.
Supportive Partner Influence
Fans and netizens online credit Slaylonie with helping catalyze a dramatic transformation in Dbo. not just in appearance but in music style too.
A dramatic “before-and-after” clip shared on TikTok (by Slaylonie herself) highlighted that he revamped his look (ditching his braids for longer hair and updating his wardrobe), paired with cleaner, more refined music and flow Observers on social media chimed in with applause:
- “She put him through rehab im crineeee ???”
- “It’s not women’s jobs to fix men but damn she really did it”
- “This gotta be the singular case in history where ‘i can change him’ actually worked…”
— various netizens commenting on Dbo and Slaylonie’s TikTok video (Source: Kpop News).
Mutual Influence and Transformation
Their relationship has not only been personal but also transformative for both artists. Dbo’s evolution in style and music has been notably influenced by Slaylonie’s presence in his life.
Fans and netizens have observed a significant change in Dbo’s appearance and musical direction, attributing this transformation to the positive impact of his relationship with Slaylonie.
Dbo’s musical and personal transformation has been directly linked to Slaylonie’s influence. While details of how they met remain unclear, the gossip consensus in Korea is simple: they’re dating, they’re collaborating, and they’re both thriving off the partnership.
What’s Next for Slaylonie?
Slaylonie remains one of the internet’s most polarizing figures: an artist, musician, survivor, provocateur, and now K-hip-hop insider.
Whether she continues to embrace the mess or leans further into her creative rebrand, one thing is certain: the Slaylonie name will keep people talking.
