Lil Tay Namedrops Halsey While Erupting On Haters For Saying Her Heart Issue Was A Hoax

by

Lil Tay has been in the public eye ever since she was a little kid. Overall, her time on the internet has been nothing short of controversial, as many were/are of the opinion that she was/is just a clout chaser of sorts. However, she’s only fed off the criticism and is now looking to forge a path in the music industry as well. Unfortunately, she the teenager has not had the easiest start, as she was going through someone faking her and her brother’s death around this time last year. Then, just a few weeks ago, she was diagnosed with a heart tumor, which required ICU attention. She seems to be bouncing back well, as she just released her second single, “Growing Up.”

However, even though it was an emotional record for her to write –it was partially inspired by her recent health scare– people online are tearing into everything surrounding it. They feel that the track and heart problem are all attempts at bringing more attention to Tay. The multi-media personality decided to address it in a heated rant on her social media. She mentioned how other artists like Halsey, for example, can do the same thing and be praised for it.

Lil Tay Goes Off

“So Halsey can get cancer (actually lupus and a T-cell disorder) and drop a single the exact same day she announces her cancer and its bold”, she began. “But I’ve been gone for a f***ing year ’cause I’ve been dealing with a lot of s***… And suddenly I’m pulling a PR stunt? Even though I’m dropping my song weeks later? Doesn’t make any f***ing sense. You haters are literally being insensitive and slow on purpose.” But despite how angry she is, Lil Tay isn’t going to let it get to her and she’s going to promote her new song a lot.

What are your thoughts on Lil Tay putting haters on blast for claiming her health scare was a PR stunt? Do you think she makes a sound argument against their comments? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Lil Tay.

Lil Tay Net Worth 2024: Updated Wealth Of The Social Media Star

by

Lil Tay—just the name evokes a whirlwind of emotions, headlines, and debates. At the tender age of nine, she became a viral sensation. Tay astonished the world with her audacious videos, brandishing stacks of cash and luxury cars as if they were toys. These online theatrics might have earned her infamy, but let’s not overlook the financial gain. According to GorillaOverview, the young influencer has amassed a net worth of $500,000 as of 2024.

Background & Beginnings

Claire Hope, aka Lil Tay, was born in 2009 in Atlanta, Georgia. Her early years remain shrouded in mystery and, quite frankly, conflicting accounts. Some say she was thrust into the limelight by opportunistic family members. Others argue that Lil Tay herself had an intrinsic taste for the finer things in life from a young age. What is indisputable is her eye for virality. Her videos and posts instantly caught fire, converting views and likes into palpable dollar bills.

Career Highlights & Accolades

Lil Tay’s social media presence could best be described as incendiary. Whether she’s throwing wads of cash or brandishing a car she cannot even legally drive, her antics have earned her both acclaim and derision. Platforms like Instagram and YouTube became her playground, with each video seemingly more audacious than the last. She captured the attention of celebrities and rappers like Chief Keef and Jake Paul, increasing her visibility and further solidifying her status as a phenomenon worth millions in social capital.

Personal Life & Highlights

When your professional life takes off before you’ve even hit puberty, the personal and the public lines become blurred. Lil Tay’s family life has been dissected by critics and fans alike. Her mother’s role as a real estate agent who allowed Lil Tay to use her luxury listings for video settings came under scrutiny, making it evident that the framework supporting Tay’s stardom is a complex scaffold of opportunities and negotiations.

Business Ventures & Philanthropy

While most kids her age focus on homework and playdates, Lil Tay has ventured into the world of merchandise and endorsements. Her Instagram posts often feature products she either endorse or plans to launch. Though it’s tough to categorize her moves as ‘philanthropy’ in the traditional sense, she certainly has made significant contributions to the online discourse on fame and materialism, challenging preconceived norms, albeit in an unorthodox manner.

As we navigate this compelling tapestry of virality, luxury, and childhood stardom, we find Lil Tay occupying a space that’s as perplexing as it is lucrative. In a landscape where monetization opportunities abound, she’s rewritten the rules—whether we like it or not.

Coi Leray Goes Back And Forth With Lil Tay On Twitter Over Rap Beefs

by

Overnight, Lyrical Lemonade dropped their new project All Is Yellow. The album is absolutely stacked with high-profile features like Lil Durk, Lil Yachty, Juice WRLD, Jack Harlow, The Kid LAROI, and more. But one of the songs everybody has been talking about is “Doomsday Pt. 2” which features Eminem. On the track he takes shots at Coi Leray saying “Well, I guess then I regret to inform you, hate to spoil the day, but this doesn’t bring me no joy to say, guess that Coi Leray feat’s in the toilet, aye?”

Coi didn’t wait long to respond to her name being dropped by the rap legend who continues beefing with her father to this day. “Rap beef is so washed and tired. Exhausting. Embarrassing. Just f*cking over all corny as f*ck” she said in a tweet that served as her de facto response. But she wasn’t above the beef entirely. All it took was LIl Tay pulling up in the comments with a response that ratioed Coi’s original tweet to get her to bite back. Check out the tweet that started their altercation below.

“The apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree” Lil Tay said in a comment reply to Coi’s post. Her comment currently sits at more than double the likes of Coi’s original post. Leray attempted to take the high road in her quote tweet response. “I’m not the type to laugh or make fun of people trauma. So ima let you think you ate . Love the new music btw! Stay strong boo” the “Players” rapper replied.

Unsurprisingly, Lil Tay had a response to that tweet as well. But her response came off as more confused than anything else. “Not quite sure what you’re insinuating in the first sentence, but I know I ate, and thanks for streaming,” she posted.

Lil Tay Swatted, Accuses “Psycho” Father

by

Social media star Lil Tay has claimed that her home was recently swatted. Furthermore, Tay accused her “psycho” father, Chris Hope, of being behind the incident. “[He] swatted me to prevent me from continuing to expose his racism, misogyny, sexually abusive behavior, and domestic violence. You cannot fucking stop me. You cannot fucking silence me,” Tay said in an Instagram video. She went on to refer to him as a “psycho” and said she was speaking out for “all the girls and women”. Hope has not responded, at least publicly, to any of the allegations made by his daughter.

Swatting, the act of falsely alerting law enforcement to a serious crime at a private residence, has become more and more common in recent years. It became a common online prank often leveled against streamers and other internet personalities. Furthermore, Nicki Minaj has reportedly been the victim of numerous swatting attempts this year alone.

Tay Continues To Paint Father As Monster

Tay’s latest comments are just her most recent defiance of her father, who was reportedly behind her abrupt social media exit five years ago. In a recent livestream, Tay made disturbing allegations against her father. Tay, whom Christopher consistently referred to as “Claire” during the recent death hoax, labeled her father as a sexual deviant. She alleged that her father used Craigslist to seek female companionship and that his current wife, Hanee, is a “scammer”.

Furthermore, and perhaps more disturbingly, Tay alleged that her father would perform sexual acts in front of her. “Inappropriate sexual behavior” was reportedly “normalized” in her father’s house. Additionally, Tay said that her father would “do the most out-of-pocket sexual shit” in front of her. While shocking, some people have already called cap. Some have pointed to her recent “SUCKER 4 GREEN” video as proof that Tay has not moved to a better environment.

While some of his fans may be calling out the 14-year-old, Westside Gunn is not sweating it over Lil Tay seemingly co-opting his lingo. “We know wats up, she’s a Kid tho im not wasting my energy, we ALL know POOTIE the inspiration for the kids we just seen covers get drawn and dialogue stolen right from here just like everybody Kopy her daddy 🤷🏽‍♂️,” Gunn wrote on X. The rapper was responding a to fan calling out Tay for using Gunn’s signature “POOTIE” in a recent livestream.

While there have been some changes to her style, Lil Tay is still utilizing some of her old “world’s youngest flexer” persona. During a recent livestream, Tay responded to her haters, saying “I’ve been gone five years and y’all still broke” amongst other similar phrases.

Lil Tay Flexes Her Musical Talent

The same livestream that rallied Westside fans also saw Tay flexing some serious musical skill. Lil Tay continued her bizarre return to the public eye with the 14-year-old showing some serious musical talent. In a new livestream, Tay took to the piano to beautifully play a classical piece. Several people in the comments took to calling her “Taytoven” due to her ability. Later in the same stream, she moved from piano to guitar and near-perfectly played the ever-daunting Metallica classic, “Master of Puppets”. While Tay’s original internet persona was all about shock value, she is very clearly trying to forge ahead with her sheer talent this time around.

Furthermore, she also dropped a music video for her new single “SUCKER 4 GREEN”, which is a catchy if generic dance-pop number. While Tay and her mother, whom she now lives with, have expressed an interest in Tay genuinely pursuing music, not everyone is a fan. Of course, there are going to be haters. However, many people expressed exploitation concerns given the fairly sexual content of “SUCKER 4 GREEN”, especially given that Tay is 14.

[WATCH] Lil Tay Finally Shows Her Face After Years And Addresses Death Hoax

Last night, Lil Tay popped back up on her Instagram Live and addressed the rumors surrounding her recent death hoax. The Canadian social media influencer hasn’t posted any photos of herself on social media since she hit the spotlight back in 2018. On Aug. 9, a false statement about Tay’s death was shared on her Instagram account. After the news went viral, Tay and her brother later came out and confirmed they were still alive, with Tay saying her IG was “compromised by a 3rd party and used to spread jarring misinformation and rumors regarding me.”

During her Instagram Live session, which can be seen below, Tay cleared the air about her fake death, saying that the misinformation was created so that her father, Christopher Hope, and manager could advertise a new form of currency.

“Chris Hope was the one who did the death hoax,” Lil Tay said. “Meanwhile, he was working with this other con artist that was claiming to be my manager and they had a crypto coin together. Their plan was to fake my death and then promote the crypto coin. Which, by the way, the manager admitted to. He said he’d been working on the crypto coin for months. These people are frauds.”

Lil Tay also went on her YouTube channel and uploaded the official music video for her song “Sucker 4 Green.” In the video, Tay is all grown up as she sits on the side of a pool, standing next to a luxurious car and fancy house. Tay is also seen with her mother and brother in the video,

On Sept. 27, the viral rapper was finally spotted at Los Angeles International Airport dispelling rumors of her death. She was completely covered by a mask, sunglasses and a hoodie.

Watch Lil Tay speak about her death hoax below.

Lil Tay Reportedly Spotted At LAX Following Death Hoax

by

For many, early August was the first time they thought about Lil Tay in a long time. The once ubiquitous child rapper and social media star who became mired in custody battles returned to Instagram. But what she returned with was a post that shockingly announced her passing at just 14 years old. Pretty much immediately though, rumors online swirled about the authenticity of the post. Like many of the controversies surrounding the young influencer, details were and still are incredibly hazy about what actually happened.

Just a day after the original announcement was made Lil Tay returned to social media to refute the assertion that she had died. She made a post claiming that her account was hacked and the death announcement was fake. Even Meta themselves confirmed that they helped Tay recover her account from hackers lending more credence to the theory that someone got into her account to make a deliberate fake announcement. That’s already quite a bit to process but it’s starting to seem like just the tip of the iceberg in the ongoing drama surrounding Tay.

Lil Tay Landing At LAX

Now, new videos are circulating online of what appears to be Lil Tay arriving at LAX. The clips come as news broke that her mother Angela Tian won another major victory in the custody battle for Tay. Though it’s hard to make much of the short video, check out the post in its entirety above.

Recently, Lil Tay took to her Instagram story to blame the hacking and death hoax on her dad. “My abusive racist misogynistic woman beating father faked my death,” she wrote on her Instagram story. Yesterday Tay’s father shot back. He made a statement denying that he had anything to do with the hacking of her account or faking of her death. In the statement he also threatened to sue for defamation over the way he had been portrayed. What do you think of the new videos of Lil Tay seemingly arriving at LAX?

Lil Tay’s Father Threatens To Sue For Defamation After He Is Accused Of Faking Social Media Star’s Death

Lil Tay was involved in a very bizarre death hoax just last month. Overall, the reports of her death were extremely shocking. Fans could not believe that the 14-year-old was dead, especially given how suddenly it was all reported. However, over the coming days, the story began to unravel and it was revealed that she did not die. Instead, someone had conjured up this very weird hoax that fans began investigating. So far, there is still no concrete evidence in regard to who did it.

However, today, a post from Lil Tay’s Instagram account suggested that it was her father who had something to do with this. Overall, it was a wild accusation that stunned quite a few people. Furthermore, the post detailed how Christopher J. Hope is allegedly a misogynist woman beater who is also racist and abusive to his children. According to TMZ, Hope has responded to the posts, claiming that he intends to sue whoever is responsible for defamation. He also denied any wrongdoing.

Lil Tay’s Father Speaks

“The person who is responsible for that Instagram post, as well as anyone repeating the completely false and libelous accusation within it, are virtually certain to become defendants in a defamation lawsuit,” Hope said. “Everything stated is 100% false, and I trust that this should be obvious to anyone who knows me or the long history of absurd and untrue statements made by the various people who have controlled the Instagram account.” Needless to say, Hope is livid at these allegations. That said, no one actually knows who is running the account and who made the post.

This is a developing story that doesn’t seem to be seeing much progression towards the truth of what really happened. That said, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the entertainment world. Additionally, let us know what you think of all this, in the comments section below.
