LilyPichu got her start on YouTube in 2006, where she posted videos on a number of various topics.
These included video gaming sessions, vlogs, songs, and piano covers.
It did not take long for her to garner a considerable following, and she quickly amassed more than a million subscribers.
LilyPichu later shifted her focus to the online streaming platform Twitch.
It was on here that she gained wider popularity with her streams that focused on her playing League of Legends (often abbreviated to ‘LoL’) and various other games.
It was during this period that LilyPichu attained viral fame with the catchy cult song “I’ll quit LoL.”
The song had a simple animation of a hooded figure playing the song with their back to the viewer, and was a humorous threat to quit the popular online game.
LilyPichu later became a member of the online collective of social media content creators, Offline TV.

At the height of her fame on Twitch, LilyPichu was one of the most-watched female streamers on the platform.
In 2022, she was nominated for two ‘Streamer Awards’ awards – best League of Legends Streamer, and Best Music Streamer.
LilyPichu won the latter, cementing her reputation as one of the most popular female streamers on the platform.
LilyPichu parted ways from Twitch in July 2022, when she signed an exclusive deal with YouTube.
In doing so, she joined scores of other streamers who had migrated away from the popular streaming site in favor of the more lucrative deal offered by the video-hosting giant.

Lily also wrote:
”I still love and care about my friends and Albie very much.”
In a later interview, the Twitch celebrity confessed: ”If there’s one thing I could change about the breakup, it would be trying to make it more private and break up nicely.”
