Messy singer Lola Young shared with fans that she has achieved a huge milestone in her life after buying her first home as she credits years of hard work
Singer Lola Young has only recently achieved global notoriety following the success of her song Messy. But the star has always maintained that she has been working tirelessly away from the glamour of being a popstar.
So it’s only fitting that she was overcome with emotion as she shared with fans that she has bought her first home. Lola, 24, made history after becoming the youngest British female artist to land a number one hit single since Dua Lipa, in 2017.
Taking to social media last week, she told fans via a video clip: “I am currently sitting on the floor in one of the bedrooms of my new house that I have just bought. I am so proud of myself and emotional to be honest. I am so excited to start a new chapter of my life here and make memories, make so memories.” This comes after Cat Deeley found moving back to the UK ‘really hard’ before split from Patrick Kielty.

She continued: “So yeah working hard does pay off, it really does.” Despite the success of Messy, her latest single d£aler, which was released last week, has already being hailed as a hit – by none other that Sir Elton John.
During a recent podcast session on Apple Music with the singer, Sir Elton said: “It’s unbelievable, it’s the biggest smash I have heard in years.”
He added: “You are going to have the most incredible career, because you can sing live, you are just the whole deal.”
Lola was forced to address allegations that she is a “nepo” baby and an “industry plant”. The first term is linked to the fact her aunt is Julia Donaldson, the author of The Gruffalo.
An industry plant is someone who pretends to have grown their fame organically but instead have been placed by a record label.
During an interview on Capital Buzz, Sam Pearce asked Lola: “Something that happens any time an artist blows up, the term industry plant gets thrown around, and obviously people have no idea that you’ve been working since 2019. How do you feel about that term?”
Addressing the allegations, the star hit back saying the people making the claims are “losers that comment rubbish.” She then said: “No, they don’t know, otherwise they wouldn’t be saying that. I think it is just the most stupid term.
“I think there are cases of industry plants but so what? It doesn’t mean they’re not talented and it doesn’t take away from anything.”
She added: “People are saying I’m a nepo baby because my great Aunt wrote The Gruffalo. I mean what kind of rubbish is that? I have so much to say on that which I can’t even talk about. But I’m not a nepo baby, I’m not an industry plant, there we go I said it.”
Lola continued: “I’ve cleared that up for all those losers that want to comment rubbish on the internet. Just find something better to do, you’re sad, you’re lonely. The thing is industry plant is just a term for other artists and other people to use who just don’t know what they’re doing in life and feel upset that someone else is having their moment.”
She concluded her rant saying: “And if you are an industry plant, you’re not going to have your moment for that long, unfortunately. And maybe sometimes you will, it just doesn’t matter, none of these things matter. If someone’s got talent, then they’ve got talent. Yeah, and I’m also not an industry plant at all by the way.”
