Appearance[]
Lil Mike is black and has white dyed dreadlocks. He has 4 chains, 4 tattoos on his face, lots of tattoos on his torso, gold earrings and a diamond nose piercing from Icebox. He even has a gold pinky ring and a Patek Phillipe watch.
Back when he was a meme because of the "SAM!1!" comic, he had a buzz cut, a small tattoo near his eye and was smaller.
When he was an internet star (2010-2013)[]
Back in the day, when Lil Mike was friends with Samuel Foster (more commonly known as Microsoft Sam), they would make poorly drawn, humorous comics called "SAM!1!". They became a meme in 2010 after a local Windows XP Error youtuber mentioned them. Their sucess would go on until around mid 2013, where they then stopped making "SAM!1!" and moved on with life.
Rap career (2015-present)[]
After being broke and unpopular, Darius Cole decided to become a rapper after trying to make another meme, which failed, as barely anybody knew about it.
After deciding to become a rapper, he was signed by record label Legacy Kingz, changed his moniker to Lil Mike, and made his first rap song, called "Imminent Danger". This song was proven to be a sucess, however, according to Lil Mike, there wasn't much views in the first week, with only 325,000 views. He then took a step further and made lots of highly sucessful songs, with some of his songs on the top 10 for the Billboard Hot 100, in May 2016. He got so much sucess, he was signed to Warner Music Group and collaborated with other highly sucessful rappers, like Lil Drank, KG and Dice.40.
His is still very popular today, with his most popular song, "Rari", having over 750 million views.
