Bio:
Born Bobby Wardell Sandimanie III on July 30, 2001, in Atlanta, Georgia, Destroy Lonely is a rising trap star whose music drips with the isolation and hustle of his upbringing. Son of rapper I-20 (from Ludacris’s Disturbing tha Peace), he grew up freestyling in a musical home but spent much of his youth homeschooled and alone, which inspired his stage name—destroying his old self amid the loneliness. He started dropping tracks on SoundCloud around 2019, with early mixtapes like Lonely’s Flexed Up Slow Jams and his breakout </3 (Broken Hearts) in 2020, featuring the viral single “Bane.” Signed to Playboi Carti’s Opium label (an Interscope imprint) in 2021, he collabed with labelmates Ken Carson and Homixide Gang, leading to his 2022 mixtape No Stylist, which blew up on TikTok with “NOSTYLIST.” His 2023 debut album If Looks Could Kill peaked at number 18 on the Billboard 200, full of moody beats and auto-tuned flows. Followed by Love Lasts Forever in 2024 (hitting number 10), and a feature on Ken Carson’s More Chaos in 2025 with “Off The Meter” alongside Carti. With millions of streams on Spotify and Apple Music, plus a strong Instagram following, Destroy Lonely’s sound—blending plugg vibes, dark fashion aesthetics, and influences like Lil Wayne and The Cure—carries Atlanta’s rage wave to a global audience.
