Lola Young goes viral: cheeky confessions about her sexuality on TikTok

Lola Young, known for her trending but now annoying song "Messy",  gave TikTok a moment recently when she casually addressed her sexuality in response to a compliment. 

And in true Young fashion, it was cheeky, honest, and delivered with zero pretence.

In a recent TikTok, the singer was seen dancing and mouthing along to CMAT’s "Take a Sexy Picture of Me," dressed in a corseted athleisure outfit.

A fan dropped what was meant to be a flattering comment: “No man deserves this.” Simple, supportive, and clearly admiring her energy.

But Young decided to sprinkle in a little clarification. With a wink of sass, she replied: “I like p---- as well u kno,” (know). Direct? Yes. Funny? Definitely. Refreshingly honest? Always.

"No man deserves this," which was meant to praise her appearance and presence. Some fans initially misinterpreted this as an insult, but the original commenter clarified their intention, emphasizing admiration for Young.

Young used the moment to remind everyone that her appeal doesn’t exist solely in the context of men, and in doing so, she subtly addressed her sexuality in public for the first time.

This isn’t the first time she’s shared bits of herself outside the studio. In an interview with "British GQ," Long opened up about falling in love for the first time at just 14.

“I believe in young love, for sure,” she said. “But I believe love does change depending on your life experience. The person was great, but it just wasn’t right.”

She admitted to having a complicated relationship with romance: “I don’t love love most of the time, but sometimes I do.”

She added that change doesn’t sit easily with her, often preferring the comfort of relationships even when they’ve run their course.

“Well, I do [know why]. It’s a lot to do with my childhood,” she explained. “But I just don’t like change, so love is important to me as much as I may hate it.”
