Lil Dicky Girlfriend: What We Know
When Lil Dicky came out with his music video for “Ex-Boyfriend,” people were surprised. The song was hilarious, and the music video featured a genuine and heartfelt conversation about monogamy and breakups. A few months later, Lil Dicky dropped another bombshell—he had a girlfriend. While LD didn’t give too many details, he did say that things were going well and that she was beautiful.
However, this week, things turned for the worse when LD announced via Instagram that he and his girlfriend had broken up. So what went wrong? We may never know for sure, but we can certainly speculate! Keep reading to learn everything you ever wanted about Lil Dicky girlfriend saga.
Who’s Lil Dicky’s ex-girlfriend?
Lil Dicky dated a woman named Molly in 2015 and wrote a song about her called “Molly.” The song is about choosing between your significant other and your career (huh, so the show’s script is on the nose). It’s unclear if Lil Dicky’s ex’s real name is Molly or if it’s a pseudonym to protect her identity. Not much else is known about her.
Five years ago, one Redditor wanted to crack the case and posted a thread, asking, “Does anyone know the truth behind dickys [sic] song ‘Molly’ and how his ex feels about the song? Just wondering if anyone knows I’m super curious.” One person responded, saying, “He loved a girl named Molly, but she couldn’t support his rap career, knowing the risks it could bring to his life plan if it didn’t work. He knew he had to follow his dream, so he ended it with her.
In his AMA, he said he knew he had to put his dreams first, so the decision to end his relationship wasn’t the hard part, but living with the realities of the outcome was. I don’t know how Molly feels about the song.” Another gave a little more insights, saying he and “Molly” are still friends but that she got engaged (at this point, she’s likely married).
The Redditor said, “I’ve heard him speak about maintaining a cordial friendship with his ex. Although, having made a music video about it may make things awkward. Especially since he announced recently that the real ‘molly’ got engaged… I’m sure some of us have been in his situation, but most of us probably didn’t make a song and music video about it. Who knows, maybe they remained good friends afterward, where it doesn’t matter, and everything is chill.”
In the AMA the Redditors are referring to, Lil Dicky was asked, “In ‘Molly,’ you rap about a girl whom you still love despite an unfortunate breakup due to a difficult decision regarding your career. Just how hard was it to make that decision, and do you now think it was worth it?”
He replied, “It wasn’t that difficult of a decision because I knew what had to be done. I knew that I had to pursue my dreams before anything. Going for music wasn’t something that I regretted and wasn’t something that I debated. Molly and I aren’t going to get married at this point, but even if it was my absolute soul mate at the time, I don’t think I would’ve been able to put her in front of me to accomplish my dreams. So the decision wasn’t the difficult part. It was living with the realities of the outcome.”
Is the character Ally on ‘Dave’ based on his ex?
While Lil Dicky has never explicitly said that Ally is based on his ex “Molly,” it can be implied, considering Ally’s reason for breaking up with him is the exact reason he and his ex in real life broke up.
