Get ready for a double dose of star power! International sensation Leilani Li is once again in the spotlight, securing not one, but two massive nominations for the upcoming 2025 Urban X Awards: Sexiest Trans Star and Transgender Performer of the Year.
For Li, this isn’t just another nomination—it’s a chance to make history. After taking home the trophy for Sexiest Trans Star last year, the pressure is on to see if she can charm her way to a repeat victory while potentially snagging a second prestigious award.
A Win That “Meant the World”
Reflecting on her previous win, Li’s gratitude shines through, highlighting just how much the fan-driven support means to her. It’s this connection that fuels her passion and her ambition for this year’s show.
“Winning Sexiest Trans Star last year was huge for me—it was one of the biggest awards I’ve won, and the fact that my fans and industry friends decided on the winner meant the world to me,” Li shared. “I would love to win it again and possibly take home the trophy for Transgender Performer of the Year, as well. I’m honored to be nominated for both, and I appreciate my fans so much.”
