16 year old Rapper Li Woadie, whose real name is Anthony Beverly, hails from Alabama and is trending on social media due to his current relationship status. It seems that Woadie's partner, who is 10 years older, leaves him off at high school every day.

The rapper had been posting photos and videos with his reported partner on Instagram.

In the state of Washington, 16 is the legal age of consent. However, his fans and other netizens criticized the couple as soon as the pictures went viral.

Some thought it shouldn’t be “legal”, while others think she should be in “jail”.

16-year old rapper Li Woadie recently made the news twice

Anthony Beverly, better known by his stage name Li Woadie, began his rap career at the age of 12. During this period, he sang nonstop, eventually rising to prominence as a recorded rap artist.

The rapper recently made the news for allegedly having a partner who is 10 years older than him and apparently drops him at school. Once the photo of the couple went viral on Instagram and X, netizens took to the platform to express their opinions about the same.

Apart from this, he was also in the news in July 2024 for being allegedly robbed of his jewelry while appearing on Facebook Live to speak with supporters and viewers.

Based on a video clip of the Live he posted to his Facebook page with the title, the young musician seemed to be sitting in his parked car on Sunday, July 21, when the alleged robbery happened.

The rapper was sitting in the driver's seat when a man wearing a mask and sweatshirt rushed over and grabbed his watch and chain. As the man left the scene after the incident, Li Woadie can heard on the footage saying,

"Ni*ga just got took. H*ll na!

Li Woadie then announced on his Facebook page that he was giving out a "5k" prize to anyone who could identify the thief shortly after ending the Facebook Live.


Meanwhile, the rapper didn’t say anything on public platforms following the criticism he received after the photos with his alleged fiancee went viral.
