Australian rap superstar The Kid Laroi is making friends in high places.

Since the pair’s feet weren’t visible in the photo, some fans speculated that Laroi may have been wearing high boots or standing on something to gain an edge over Bieber.
Kid Laroi recently made history as the youngest solo artist to top the Australian album charts.
And now the young star is on a mission to showcase his home country’s rap scene to the world.
‘I don’t think America is completely switched on to how big [and] great the Australian music scene and culture is, but I think that’s kind of my job to shed light,’ the 17-year-old rapper told Triple J on Monday.

The Waterloo-born star said he’s long dreamed of putting Sydney’s rap scene on the map ‘the way Drake did with Toronto’.
Born in Canada, rapper Drake often gushes about his home city of Toronto in his music, and even boasts a number of Toronto-themed tattoos.
Laroi, whose real name is Charlton Howard, added: ‘You have to do it in a way where people get it and really see it for what it really is; how great the scene really is.’
‘That’s the most important thing – I don’t want people to overlook it or think because it’s my country, I really want people to recognise Australia is the f**king future of music, in my opinion.’
