(Hollywood, CA) Last week, XBIZ rolled out the red carpet and had an impressive nominations party at Keys in the heart of West Hollywood. With the industry dressed to impress in Hollywood-glamour inspired looks, the venue was packed, and many key nominations were announced by some of the biggest stars in the industry. Known for her ALT yet exotic look, hot curvy body, and charm, multi-award-winning international content creator and versatile performer Leilani Li has received her second Trans Performer of the Year nomination from the XMAs, as well as a fan nomination and three noms for her stellar scene work.
For the second year in a row, Leilani Li is up for the coveted award of Trans Performer of the Year from the XMA Awards, as well as the fan-nominated category Fav Trans Star, which opens today for fans to #rockthevote for the win.
Leilan is also up for Best Sex Scene – Trans three times in three of her best scenes released in 2025 that include Transfixed’s “’Anonymous’ Can Include Us, Right?” with Zariah Aura and Jewelz Blu and “Bolstered and Pampered” with Ariel Demure and Avery Jane, and TransAngels’ “Don’t Toy with Me” with Addis Fouche and Tony Genius.
“I’m truly honored that XBIZ gave me so many nominations, and that my fans helped me get nominated for Fav Trans Star, and I hope they keep voting for me when voting. I know it sounds cliché to say it’s great just to be nominated, but it is. But I won’t say no to any of those stunning XMA trophies,” says Leilani Li.
