Lexy Panterra Bio

Lexy attained fame with her singles Supa Dupa and Neon. Before this success she was a member of an all-girl R&B group. In January, 2014, the artist started an exercise program that involved twerking and named it the LexTwerkOut. She also gained a lot of admiration for her dancing skills, modeling pictures, and videos that she uploaded on her Instagram account. She became a sensation after she collaborated with Playboy magazine for the Twerking Through History video in 2015. The video became viral and got viewership across the globe. When Lex was merely five years old, she won her first beauty contest and this achievement was the stepping stone for the twerking, singing, songwriter phenomena that she is today. This was followed by participation in her first motorcycle race at the age of eight. Lex took the first spot in many races.

Lex did not have a very luxurious upbringing; she spent a part of her initial years in a dodgy neighborhood but did not fall prey to the drug dealing that was a usual activity in the area. She has maintained a good rapport with both her immediate and step family members and feels indebted to them for their contribution in her life. But it was her father’s serious injury in a motocross accident that made her quit racing at the age of 11 when she was ruling the game.

The twerking star courted controversy when a snoring remedy billboard advertisement showed her as a Muslim girl in a black veil being embraced by an American soldier in 2013-2014. Both Muslims and Non-Muslims perceived it as insulting. In an interview Lexy said that school students told her that she looked like a terrorist. But such controversies did not dent her confidence.

Lexy’s father is Tony Panterra who is a professional motocross racer and world class hot rod builder. Her late paternal grandmother was a well-known Persian lyricist, producer, and poet during the 1960’s and 70’s. Her grandmother got settled in America after the Iranian Revolution in the 1970s. She’s the niece of Alex Dodd who has been 17 time world champion drag racer, and producer. Her father taught her racing. She picked up liking for music and dancing from her mother while her step-cousins introduced her to twerking when she was just 12. The girl acknowledges their contribution in her life and gives a lot of importance to both sides of her family.

There was speculation that Lexy was dating MTV’s Catfish host, Nev Schulman. In August 2017, she dated TV actor Gregg Sulkin. From 2020 to 2022, Lexy Panterra was in a relationship with YouTube star Alex Wassabi.
