Lele Pons is social media royalty, with over 25 million followers on Instagram and 10 million YouTube subscribers.
In a recent interview with Today, the 22-year-old creator opened up about why she thinks people are continuing to subscribe to her channels and dishes out tips for newbies to social media.
“I think it’s because it’s relatable and they see that I don’t really care to look bad,” Lele says about her followers. “I’m just myself.”
She adds that she posts “a lot of relatable stuff, a lot of funny things, a ton of puberty stuff” and other things that “people see hope in.”
The creator/actress headed to social media for the cutest birthday tribute to Lele.
“HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY BEST FRIEND LELE!!! 👯♀️🎂🎀” Hannah excitedly wrote on Twitter. “I am so lucky to have a friend like you in my life.”

Lele Pons is kick starting her music career with a fun collaboration withMatt Hunter, and it’s coming out THIS WEEK!
The 21-year-old Venezuelan entertainer teamed up with Matt for new song “Dicen” that will be released on Friday, May 4th and we can’t wait to hear it!
Speaking with Nylon magazine as part of their May cover story, Lele opened up about her five year plan in music.
“My plan is to start releasing music soon and, hopefully, in five years, I’ll have some successful songs and album!” she shared. “Maybe I’ll even get to do a song with Shakira or Daddy Yankee!”
Lele Pons isn’t your typical digital creator – she does all her own editing on her videos, she enjoys TED Talks, and even gives her phone number to fans.
Yep, you didn’t read that wrong. She actually gives out her real phone number to certain fans.
“I do give some of my fans my number…just to those who need the most help [with bullies] or have just shown the most support,” Lele shared in a recent chat with WNYC’s Note To Self podcast.
Lele adds that she does give advice to those with her number about the bullies, telling them to “ignore the bullies. Everything is going to be okay and life will go on because school is just four years.”
She also opens up about how she deals with her own haters.
“The bigger you are, the more haters you are going to have,” Lele says. “I never respond to any hate. I always ignore it and mute it…you can’t appeal to everybody and that’s something that I learned and if you think you’re going to be likeable to everyone, you are in the wrong business.”
