In this episode of ‘Skipping Class’ presented by ‘The Progress Report’ host Lalaa Shepard interviews Lil Terrio, who shares insights into his journey from viral fame to personal growth. Terrio discusses celebrating his birthday with family, growing up in Riverdale, GA, and his early experiences of fame, which began when he was just six years old after going viral on Vine. He reflects on the mix of good and challenging moments growing up, especially dealing with fake people in the industry who tried to finesse him out of deals at a young age.
Terrio opens up about his weight loss journey, which was motivated partly by the hurtful comments he encountered online. He shares how discipline played a significant role in his transformation and emphasizes his preference for natural weight loss over surgery. Despite being thrust into the limelight as a child, Terrio expresses that he still doesn’t see himself as a celebrity, and he remains focused on personal growth and protecting his brand.
