Personal life[edit]
Lava Lava's personal life[12] is fairly private. There has been speculation as to if he is married or in dating anyone, but most rumors rumors have been unconfirmed..[13] However, he has occasionally made his relationships know to the public as Idd has introduced his fans to his girlfriend at a concert before.[14] In 2018 he released a song titled "Single" where he expresses annoyance at the constant rumors of his relationship status.
There have been allegations from a woman named Flaviana that she and Idd were in a relationship.[15] Through an interview with Jubon Online, which was uploaded on YouTube on August 21, 2018, Flaviana displays a video of Idd at her house drinking tea shirtless, and WhatsApp chats between them.
