The Kid Laroi, 17, begins off a three-month body transformation as he performs a gruelling workout

He made history as the youngest solo artist to top the Australian album charts. 

And Indigenous rapper The Kid Laroi, 17, is now focused on kicking goals in the gym as he embarks upon an intensive three-month body transformation.

On Monday, Laroi’s fitness trainer Jason Lewis uploaded a video of the Australian musician performing gruelling exercises at a gym in Los Angeles.

The clip began with footage of the shirtless teenager doing reverse lunges while holding two small kettlebells.

Later in the video, Laroi is seen performing push-ups while intermittently doing arm rows with weights. 

Finally, the rapper works on his abdominal muscles by doing leg lifts on a set of hanging gymnastic rings. 

‘The purpose of Mondays are usually to get the body woken up and ready for the week,’ Jason wrote in the caption. 

‘We rarely do heavy/Olympic style lifts to start off the week,’ he added. 

Clearly proud of his client’s progress, Jason also uploaded an Instagram Story video of Laroi performing tricep dips, alongside the caption: ‘Imagine The Kid Laroi in there months [eyes staring emoji]’.  

Born in Waterloo, Sydney, Laroi grew up in relative poverty, spending his formative years in a housing commission block and couch surfing with his mother.

He began rapping at the age of 13, predominantly as an outlet to process his family struggles and the death of his uncle two years earlier. 

He achieved modest success as a finalist in Australian radio station Triple J’s Unearthed High competition, but his real breakthrough came when he was signed as international rap sensation Juice Wrld’s labelmate at Grade A Productions in 2019. 

The duo quickly became close, with Laroi even referring to Juice Wrld as his ‘big brother’ after being selected to support him on the Sydney and Melbourne legs of his Australian tour in November 2019.

Fate took a cruel turn and just weeks later on December 8, Juice Wrld died at the age of 21, after suffering a reported seizure at Chicago Midway International Airport.

Prior to his death, Juice Wrld recorded a verse for GO, the lead single on Laroi’s debut mixtape, knowing full well it would rocket the teen to fame overnight.

It did just that upon its release in June 2020, and in the blink of an eye the talented underdog from Waterloo had a single on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 – topping megastar Justin Bieber that he’s been compared to – a feat many artists can only ever dream of achieving.

He went on to become the youngest Australian to have a number one album on the ARIA charts with the release of F*ck Love (Savage) in July 2020.
