Carlos Coleman, popularly known by his stage name King Los, is a well-known American rapper, singer, and record producer, best known for his mixtapes such as Becoming King, The Crown Ain’t Safe, and G.O.A.T.
Their relationship has been running smoothly for several years now and on Christmas Day 2012 Lola announced that she and her partner King Los are expecting a child. Later the duo welcomed their son named Brixton Royal Coleman on March 12, 2013.
However, it is not easy to take care of a child and at the same time work as an artist. This was the case with Lola and her son. Although her partner supported her in her career, it became so difficult for her to take care of her son and her music career. As a result, she missed an important studio session. The couple got together to look for a permanent solution to the problem and eventually decided to hire a nanny who would take care of her son while they had their busy schedules.
The couple currently lives with their sweet son in Los Angeles, they have not yet made a lifetime commitment, and we hope they will do so as soon as possible.
