LuLu LoveBottom Found His Calling in Burlesque

Drake, who also performed online under the name Hunter Hardin, had more than 30,000 followers across Instagram and X and promoted his OnlyFans account.

About five years ago, the former college football player discovered burlesque at a ballroom event in the Phoenix area and began performing.

“It allows me to identify my femininity with my masculinity,” he told Out Sports in 2025. “It feels authentic and reflects the journey I saw for myself when I was younger.”

Drake also spoke openly about experiencing “a lot of depression” throughout his life, saying athletics had served as a “relief.”

LuLu LoveBottom Remembered by Friends

Cleodora Productions, whose producer Cleodoraa Drake called his “burlesque mom,” remembered him as a deeply caring performer and friend.

The sweetest, softest, silliest, most caring, special soul who became a close friend to many of us outside of shows. His energy was infectious, and he lit up every room he walked into and every stage he set foot on.

The tribute continued, “My beautiful boylesque baby and my dear friend.”
