Bobby Wardell Sandimanie III (born July 30, 2001), professionally known as Destroy Lonely, is an American rapper, performer and singer from Atlanta, Georgia. Born in a musical household, he grew up freestyling with inspiration from his father, rapper I-20. At an early age of 14, Lone started working on his on music, creating his first songs at a recording studio at his school, where he met two of his best friends, Texaco and Nezzus, who would produce many of his early works and continue to work with him on later projects. His earliest official releases came in late 2015 and early 2016 on SoundCloud, including notable tracks like "No Face, No Case," "Drexler," and "On Go."

His earliest known release was an EP called Lonely’s Flexed Up Slow Jams. Known only through a single screenshot available on his old label Gorgeous Records’s Instagram, the hollow shells of its now private SoundCloud pages and the confirmation of its existence in a 2024 interview with Nardwuar, this 3 song EP would see Destroy Lonely under the moniker of “nascar lone!”. Due to its limited availability, the EP is now considered lost media like most of his releases in this time period.

As he grew his fanbase and released more projects, Lonely forged relationships with many contemporaries in the Atlanta-area scene like BigSmokeChapo. He closely works with producer Clayco. He also frequently works with producers in the Underworld Music Group, an artist and producer group created by Clayco.

Lonely is affiliated with BigSmokeChapo’s Addicted To Money. He was later signed to Playboi Carti’s Opium label in early 2021, along with Ken Carson and Homixide Gang.

Destroy Lonely's debut studio album, "If Looks Could Kill" was released on 5 May, 2023. It has a unique horror movie fashion-killer aesthetic and has its own short film "Look Killa" to accompany it.

In 2024, Ayisha Mia, his ex-girlfriend, accused Lone of frequently physically and mentally abusing her. She would post numerous accusations on X (formerly known as Twitter). And Lone addressed the allegations with the worst possible response, saying, "Ask my manager."
