Lovely Mimi, born Myha Luong in Vietnam, has become an unstoppable force in the entertainment world. Her journey from a rebellious child in Maryland to a viral sensation and reality TV star is one marked by resilience, grit, and unfiltered authenticity. Growing up as a Vietnamese immigrant in a refugee camp before moving to Maryland, Mimi faced challenges from a young age. “I was an angry child,” she reflects, recalling her troubled teenage years spent in juvenile detention centers. Despite a rough start, she found solace in nail art, eventually opening her own salon and launching her social media career to promote her business.
Her larger-than-life personality, quick wit, and bold style caught the attention of millions on Instagram, leading to her stint on “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta.” But it’s not just TV where Mimi thrives—she’s also made waves in the music industry. Her latest single, “How U Do That”, is a fun, energetic track featuring her partner, Mr. Stretch, reflecting their unique bond. The record, which captures the playful vibe of their relationship, was recorded with Starr and highlights Mimi’s versatility as a musician. “We didn’t want it to be toxic or emotional, just a fun track that shows how we vibe,” she explains.
Through all the challenges, including a difficult divorce, Mimi has come out stronger. Her relationship with Mr. Stretch, whom she met in a club 14 years ago, has brought new joy to her life. Together, they’ve created a song that’s resonating with fans, showing that Mimi is more than just a viral sensation—she’s a multifaceted artist with a deep connection to her audience.
