The Kid Laroi got his big break with ‘Stay’

Although he is only 18 years old, The Kid Laroi, whose real name is Charlton Kenneth Jeffrey Howard, has already been in the music industry for years. But his most successful song so far is “Stay,” featuring Justin Bieber.

“Stay” reached number 1 on the Hot 100, becoming Laroi’s highest-charting single in the United States. He performed the hit with Justin Bieber at the 2021 VMA awards, where he was nominated for Best New Artist and Push Performance of the Year for his single “Without You.”

According to Daily Mail, “Stay” has remained at the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for six weeks so far. At six weeks atop the Hot 100, “Stay” ties for the third-longest streak for a song by two or more co-billed male artists in the chart’s 63-year history.

In September, The Kid Laroi dropped manager Scooter Braun (who is also Justin Bieber’s manager) for Adam Leber, who represents stars like Miley Cyrus and Lil Nas X. Laroi had only been working with Braun for three months when he decided to make the switch.
