4Laina Morris (born June 22, 1991) is a Website/YouTube parody singer and blogger, best known for her persona as the [[{{Yandere}} Overly Attached Girlfriend]]. She first gained prominence in 2012 with her parody of Music/JustinBieber's song ''Boyfriend'', where she rewrote to the lyrics to be about an obsessive girlfriend who obsessively hunts her "boyfriend". Her fame skyrocketed, and she followed her viral hit with parodies to other Bieber songs, Music/TaylorSwift songs, sketches with other original characters, and raising awareness for her local charity camp.

25* LawOfInverseFertility: ''She wants kids.'' But no sane boyfriend of hers is willing to give any.
