<h3 style="text-align: center;">Lola Brooke Opens Up About Dating &; Speaks On Having A Celebrity Crush</h3>
<p>During the sitdown, Brooke revealed that she is four foot ten in stature and explained what she looks for in potential male partners. The rapper divulged that — contrary to popular belief — she doesn&#8217;t have a height requirement when dating.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I ain&#8217;t got [a height requirement],&#8221; Brooke revealed. &#8220;Me?!&#8230; Because the bigger they are, the harder they fall.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Brooke added that she does have one major requirement, however.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;If that man cannot protect my life, I don&#8217;t care how tall he is,&#8221; Brooke explained before joking. &#8220;I&#8217;m too little to not be protected.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>As the convo progressed, Brooke was then asked to reveal her celebrity crush.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I have a celebrity crush,&#8221; Brooke contended. &#8220;But I think they should know.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Providing a bit more context as to who it could be, Brooke joked that it&#8217;s &#8220;somebody&#8217;s son&#8221; who isn&#8217;t &#8220;too crazy in the public eye.&#8221; However, she also added that she won&#8217;t be shooting her shot &#8220;at that man&#8221; anytime soon.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">The Rapper Addresses A Viral Video</h3>
<p>As the conversation progressed, Brooke also addressed a viral video that fans have long speculated she&#8217;s the center of. The video shows a woman who looks similar to Brooke hanging onto the side of a moving car as she shouts at the driver that she &#8220;isn&#8217;t going anywhere.&#8221;</p>
<p>Brooke has previously addressed the viral video by creating a humurous TikTok denying that it was her.</p>
