Lil Tay is a Canadian YouTuber, rapper, and internet personality who first shot to fame in 2018 when she was nine. Lil Tay was the foul-mouthed, preteen meme machine who swept Instagram, or, as she likes to put it, the “youngest flexer of the century.
According to a report by the Independent, the viral teen influencer and rapper Lil Tay, whose real name was Claire Hope, has died at the age of 14. She was an internet sensation in 2018 through viral videos where she played a character of a young rich girl, often seen flexing money and expensive vehicles.
The self-proclaimed “youngest flexer of the century” Lil Tay debuted her first single in early 2018, a trap-influenced track, and quickly became known for her foul mouth while bragging about her wealth, flashing wads of cash, and “flexing” in sports cars.
Lil Tay’s Biography
Born Claire Hope, Lil Tay Canadian YouTuber, rapper, and internet sensation who rose to prominence swiftly in 2018, when she was just nine years old. She is known as the foul-mouthed, preteen meme machine who swept Instagram, or, as she likes to put it, the “youngest flexer of the century.
She quickly gained fame both online and within the hip-hop community, and even found herself getting a mention in Eminem’s 2018 song, ‘Killshot’ after she debuted her first single in early 2018, a trap-influenced track that featured lyrics like: “I keep a chopper on me, f* that b** up all my diamonds on freeze”.
The background of Lil Tay has always been a subject of debate among fans, leading many to speculate the pre-teen rapper wasn’t in fact a real child and was in fact a persona dreamt up and manipulated by internet-fame-hungry parents.
Through years of internet fan sleuthing and interviews, it’s now known that Lil Tay’s mother Angela Tian, a suburban realtor from Vancouver used her career connections to film videos with her in the empty luxury homes that she was supposed to be selling and the expensive sports cars seen in many of Tay’s videos allegedly belonged to Tian’s boss and were used without their permission.
Lil Tay’s Instagram account posted a cryptic message and it’s technically not been active since June 2018, shortly after her appearance on Good Morning America, and a bitter custody fight broke out between her parents. All of her previous posts were wiped and replaced with the words “help me”
In October of the same year, an unnamed person who claimed to have “worked” with Lil Tay in the past took over her account, posting images and videos with detailed descriptions, many relating to her father, Christopher Hope.
According to those posts, Lil Tay suffered abuse at the hands of her father Hope in 2014 whilst living with him before he moved to Canada with a new partner. The posts made by her anonymous account holder who later was revealed to be her older brother, Jason alleged Hope “often slept with different women with Tay in the same bed” and “was naked around Tay” often.
The late 2018 flurry of activity also saw Lil Tay’s Instagram leak personal documents (including a passport that appeared to show Tay was actually 16) but she and her mother have since claimed the account was hacked.
