Right now, the internet is ablaze with news about Woah Vicky after her fight with Bhad Bhabie. Her real name is Victoria Waldrip, and she commands a massive following of 2.5 million followers on Instagram and over 790k subscribers on her YouTube channel. Everything she does is controversial, which is perhaps how she likes it to continue gaining more fans. Let’s take you through what made her famous, as well as other facts surrounding her life.
1. She believes she has black ancestry
While some people prefer not to be associated with being black, Vicky was bent on making the world know that she is black. According to her, she always believed she was black, so Vicky took a test, which showed she is 44% African, although Vicky said she is 25% black. The teenager then started using the offensive n-word, saying it was okay because she was black; hence, no one should take offense.
2. Many consider her a liar
Vicky desperately wanted to be associated with the black community that she even lied about her upbringing. Therefore to “prove” further that she was black and had it rough growing up, Vicky claimed she grew up in Zone 6. However, upon research, people found out that Vicky instead came from a privileged family, given that her father is a real-estate mogul. Why she claimed that she also ate Kool-Aid does not make any sense because according to BET it was never a thing. Those who knew better claimed Vicky was affiliating herself with black people to gain more followers on social media.
3. She was arrested in 2018
Vicky may have a problem with authority as proven by how she reacted before her arrest in 2018. Vicky was in a shopping center in North Carolina and disregarded the many attempts by police and mall security to leave the premises. When the police approached her, she kicked an officer, which led to her being charged with trespassing, resisting, and assault of a law enforcement officer. She was booked and spent the night but was released the next day. Being the drama queen, she took advantage of the arrest to post her mugshot in her Instagram with the caption #freevicky.
4. She does not think school is necessary
Vicky is the kind that will find fault in everything and will turn back to bite the hand that fed her. Some sources claim she attended Marietta High School, while some say she was enrolled in John McEachern High School. Nonetheless, the bottom line is that they all agree that Vicky dropped out of school after the fame got to her head and started affecting her school work. She thus enrolled in a private online school, Penn Foster High School, from where she obtained her diploma. After graduating, Vicky could not wait to tell her fans that school is useless.
5. She does not mind getting into fistfights
According to Vicky, she and Bhad Bhabie have been feuding for the last year, and when Bhad saw Vicky, she went to confront her. The two got in a fight, and Vicky was on top of Bhad throwing punches. Although her fans claim that she beat Bhad up, Bhad went on social media with a photo showing that not even an eyelash was out of place. Bhad added that she would have fought Vicky, were it not for the men who held her, so she invited Vicky to her place so they can get on with it without interference.
6. How she became famous
Vicky is among the many celebrities who stumbled into fame. She participated in “The Lotion Challenge” in which she and her friend ate lotion. The aim was not to get sick from eating the lotion, but they failed since the video shows them gagging into a sink. The video was uploaded to her YouTube Channel on May 21, 2017, and she realized that people were interested in what she did. Her Instagram followers then grew by 2000 every day hence the millions she has today.
7. She is a show-off
They say it is not how you behave when you have nothing that says a lot about your character; it is when you have everything. Vicky always claimed to have grown up in poverty, but research proved otherwise. Although she comes from a well-to-do family, she has made a lucrative amount as a social media personality. Vicky uses every chance she gets to rub it in the face of her fans how wealthy she is. Vicky claims on Instagram that she has two aircraft, and while pretending to “make a call” with a stack of dollars held next to her ear, she told her fans they would not believe how much she makes in a year.
8. She is vengeful
When Bryan Le responded to Vicky’s videos calling her out for pretending to be black, Vicky did not take the comments kindly. She recorded a track in response to Bryan’s comments which mocked not just his manhood but his being Asian. YouTube could not tolerate racist remarks, so they took down her song. Vicky apologized, stating that the video was meant for Bryan, not the entire Asian race, since she loves Asian men.
9. She addresses her issues with people using diss tracks
Besides the racist diss track that Vicky used to bash her online critic Bryan Le, Vicky has gone ahead to release another diss track this time addressing her rival, Bhad Bhabie. The song titled “Went Out Bad, Bhabie” with lyrics insinuating that she slept her way to the top and is not from Florida as she claims. Bhad is planning on using the same method to respond to the vicious attack as reported on HollywoodLife.
10. Her sister rubs shoulders with celebrities
Vicky’s sister, Stephanie, is an accomplished fashion designer who gained her skills from Savannah College of Art and Design. Vicky admitted that the two are not close since Stephanie is ten years older. While Vicky is busy dissing her rivals, Stephanie is preoccupied with her business. Stephanie launched her collection in 2012, and since then, she has been honored to make items for stars like Gigi Hadid and Lady Gaga.
