India Love's family
The American influencer was born in Compton, California, to Warren and Candy Westbrooks. She grew up alongside her six siblings.
India has two brothers, Blake and Pop, and four sisters, Brooke, Bree, Crystal, and Morgan. The family spent part of their lives in Compton before moving to Corona, California, when things got tough.
The Westbrook sisters
India and her sisters looked up to reality TV kingpins, the Kardashians. So, they started a reality show titled The Westbrooks, which premiered on BET in 2015.
In addition to having a reality show on BET, the five sisters shared their daily lives online, which attracted well-paying modeling contracts.
Consequently, India and Crystal Westbrooks made a fortune weekly promoting clothes, shoes, and other brand items. At the same time, they portrayed an interesting sibling rivalry image on The Westbrooks Show.
Meanwhile, the other Westbrook sisters, Bree, became the "go-to plus-size model, and Brooke (a mom of three) ventured into the budding waist trainer business.
Lastly, Morgan used her influence to promote music, including her own, as well as her growing motorcycle enthusiasm and other business ventures.
The Westbrooks reality show was canceled after one season. The youngest of the five sisters, India Love, became the most popular because of her stunning looks and "stuck-up ways."
Although people showed them love, the Westbrook girls also had haters, and most of the negative criticism was directed at India.
Educational background
India Love attended Santiago High School and later joined Florida A&M University. She also studied cosmetics at the Florida Memorial University in Tallahassee, Florida.
Career history
India rose to fame in 2014 from her Tumblr blogs. Sharing videos on Instagram and Vine at the Florida Memorial University made her even more famous. As a result, several clothing lines hired India as a model.
She would later create The Westbrooks reality show, and her sisters had to audition to join. The series debuted on BET in 2015 and was canceled after one season.
India Love also appeared in the Droppin' Cash: Los Angeles reality TV series in 2018.
Musical career
India became a musician under the mentorship of the Black Eyed Peas lead singer Will.i.am (William James Adams Jr.).
William saw the young model in a music video for the Boys and Girls band and believed she could be a great musician.
Nonetheless, he first asked her to be a brand ambassador for Apple headphones and join him on an Apple tour of Europe.
Later, William took India under his wing and trained her vocals. He also let her perform on the Black Eyed Peas tour. She told Highsnobiety before going on tour:
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for any artist – especially a much-developing artist at that.
It's heartwarming to know that Will feels strongly about me as an artist to where he wants me to jump right in…
To be going on tour with the Black Eyed Peas? To open up their shows? It's mind-blowing to me.
Soon after that, India launched her career in music.

Who is India Love's boyfriend?
It is unclear whether the social media icon is single or dating. India was romantically linked to several male celebrities in the past but has kept her love life private for some years now.
India Love was reportedly dating Ron Robinson from 2011 to 2013. After that, she moved on with rapper Soulja Boy, but the relationship only lasted a few months.
The singer was romantically linked to rapper The Game in 2014. She was also seen going out with Lo1etay in 2015 and was rumored to be dating Cliff Dixon in 2016.
It has also been reported that India has dated Lil Yachty, Rick Ross, Justin Combs, and Brandon Wimberly, among other celebrities.
India Love has denied most of the dating rumors linked to her and does not discuss her love life in public. She told Rolling Out:
And the thing people get wrong is that I've dated all of these men. That's probably the No. 1 thing that people have gotten wrong about me...just because I might take a photo with a guy doesn't mean I'm dating him... I'm getting to know the person, having a good time, and wanted to share it with the world.
The singer also told Galore Mag:
As far as my love life is concerned, I have definitely learned the hard way not to react to situations out of excitement. Instead, I've learned to let the relationship move at its own pace, keep my business as private as possible, and focus on the relationship more than others say about it. That's the major key.
India Love's bullying experience
She was brutally bullied growing up, and it got worse in middle school. India Love told Paper Magazine:
I went to a Christian middle school, and I got bullied there. I never understood why no one wanted to sit with me; everyone was cliqued up, and they spoke behind my back.
It was really weird for me because I am a Christian and very into God, and I just never understood why, at this school specifically, [my experience there] was that much worse.
She was bullied even more when she began getting famous on social media. Getting tattoos was the best way she knew how to deal with the hate.
Her mom was mad at her for getting them, but it was the only way she could cope. India told Rolling Out:
They didn’t know me, but they were judging me, and it hurt. The hurt that I was feeling on the inside, I wanted to feel on the outside.
I began to get tattoos to feel that pain. But as I've matured, I've learned that there are better ways to cope. I can't control the way that people feel about me.
Eventually, India found a better way to cope with the hate. She overcame the tattoos phase, but now she has twenty-seven tattoos.
Furthermore, the bullying made her believe in self-love, which inspired her single Talk ya sh*t. She wanted people to learn something inspirational while enjoying her music.
