You're wrong. Used to fish near there and stop for lunch all the time, even been pulled over a couple times and locals and cops always said Luh-FAY-it. That's also what the pronunciation guide on their Wikipedia page says: LINK
Everything on the Internet says that too.
I live here now. It's La-fett.

There's a Lafayette County Arkansas and it's pronounced la-FAY-ut

Rednecks talk fast, it just sounds like that to you. What you're saying doesn't even make sense.
Also, prayers sent for living there.

You're still wrong

8. LaFayette, La-FAY-it
This Chambers County town of about 3,000 residents is known as the birthplace of boxing champion Joe Louis. Although it was named for the Revolutionary War hero, Marquis de Lafayette, locals do now use the French pronunciation, preferring to put the emphasis on the second syllable. It also is written with a Capitol F.
Seriously I don't understand how you live there and still have the pronunciation wrong despite literally everything saying otherwise. Either you don't talk to anybody else that lives there, or you're straight up lying about living there.
