While taking the stage for the Spotify On Variety Panel, Lele explained that when she began her career on Vine, she was just doing something for fun.

“Social media really wasn’t a thing. Influencers weren’t a thing seven years ago and we had no idea. We didn’t do it for the popularity or the money or anything like that. Even when the money came along, I was like, ‘Oh this is actually a hobby for me.’ I didn’t know it was work,” Lele explained.

She continued, “So it was something people did for fun. When I got into it’s because I really wanted to try something new but just for me. Super fun. I don’t understand how it became my work.”
