But that collaboration list is quite lengthy. He's collaborated with a ton of well-known artists in the past three years, with probably his biggest being Stay with Justin Bieber. Since then, it's been all uphill for The Kid Laroi. Unfortunately, that mentorship of sorts was cut short when Juice WRLD died in late 2019, though The Kid Laroi featured him on 'Go,' the lead single on his debut album the following year.
