Arii

Arii is the stage name of digital creator Ariana Renee, first known on Musical.ly as TheyLoveArii. Her public activity began in 2015 with lip-sync and dance videos that quickly placed her among the app’s most visible profiles. During that period she appeared in duets and compilations with Baby Ariel, a creative relationship documented across numerous videos from that era. Over time she streamlined her handle to “Arii” and broadened into lifestyle and vlog formats, keeping a focus on choreography, lip-syncs and challenge-driven content.

She became widely recognized through consistent posting on Musical.ly and clips built on popular audio, including “Feeling Myself” by Nicki Minaj as well as tracks by Lil Wayne and Meek Mill, which boosted her reach as they were featured and replicated by the community. Visibility also grew through duets and mentions with Baby Ariel, who introduced her to that content dynamic and appeared with her in multiple videos. That ecosystem—compilations, challenges and creator crossovers—established Arii as a reference point of the 2015–2016 scene before her transition to TikTok.

Operating first as TheyLoveArii and later simply “Arii,” she expanded under theariiway into YouTube vlogs and Twitch streams mixing everyday routines, chats and gaming. In 2019 she attempted a clothing line that did not meet the supplier’s presale minimum, a moment that sparked public discussion about the gap between social reach and commercial conversion. In 2025 she remains active on TikTok and Instagram, blending lifestyle posts, trends and occasional streaming appearances.
