Internet sensation Bella Poarch is best known for her TikTok lip-sync videos. During our exclusive interview with the artist as a part of her new collaboration with HUGO, we got to know all about her personal style, her very own collection with HUGO, and ofc, her favourite games to play.
Back in 2020, the internet was ablaze with her video to the song ‘M to the B‘ by British rapper Millie B. The TikTok quickly became one of the most-watched videos on the platform *ever*, and its virality shot Bella’s fame to new heights, as the star launched her music career with her debut single ‘Build a B*tch‘.
With a budding music career and expertise in the craft of TikTok dances, some people might simply dismiss Bella’s influence as another byproduct of the generic TikToker factory. But a closer inspection of her content reveals who Bella Poarch is and always has been at her core: an avid gamer.
