Lil Tay Claims Her Father Is The One Who Faked Her Death

by

Lil Tay is a social media personality who has been embroiled in a ton of controversy as of late. Just last month, it was reported that she had passed away. Overall, there were people who believed she and her brother had died in a car accident. However, it was quickly revealed that Tay was, in fact, alive. Moreover, all sorts of allegations began to come out regarding her family, and her father in particular. There had been a custody battle in the past, and it’s what ultimately led to her lack of content over the last five years.

Once the death hoax was sorted out, Lil Tay reportedly went to Los Angeles so that she could live with her mother. Subsequently, there were more rumors about her father and what he may have been orchestrating behind the scenes. Well, today, it seems like the former social media star is speaking out. On her Instagram story earlier today, we got an image of her father, followed by an accusation. “My abusive racist misogynistic woman beating father faked my death,” she wrote. Moreover, she included his name, Christopher J. Hope.

Over the past couple days, there has been some confusion surrounding Lil Tay, the 14-year-old Canadian internet personality and rapper. So, what’s going on?

Yesterday (August 9), a post on Tay’s Instagram page announced that she had died, saying (via Variety), “It is with a heavy heart that we share the devastating news of our beloved Claire’s sudden and tragic passing. We have no words to express the unbearable loss and indescribable pain. This outcome was entirely unexpected, and has left us all in shock. Her brother’s passing adds an even more unimaginable depth to our grief. During this time of immense sorrow, we kindly ask for privacy as we grieve this overwhelming loss, as the circumstances surrounding Claire and her brother’s passing are still under investigation. Claire will forever remain in our hearts, her absence leaving an irreplaceable void that will be felt by all who knew and loved her.”

Around the same time, it was also noticed that Tay’s YouTube bio read, “help me.” This caused some uncertainty, so Insider investigated. Lil Tay’s father Christopher Hope and former manager Harry Tsang both spoke to the publication and did not confirm whether Tay was alive. The publication also noted, “It also suggested her brother, Jason Tian, had died as well. The statement didn’t give causes of death for either and said the deaths were under investigation. But law-enforcement agencies in Los Angeles and Vancouver, British Columbia — two cities where Lil Tay is known to have lived — told Insider there were no active death investigations involving Hope.”

Today, TMZ shared what they say is a statement from Tay’s family confirming that she is still alive. The statement says, “I want to make it clear that my brother and I are safe and alive, but I’m completely heartbroken, and struggling to even find the right words to say. It’s been a very traumatizing 24 hours. All day yesterday, I was bombarded with endless heartbreaking and tearful phone calls from loved ones all while trying to sort out this mess. […] My Instagram account was compromised by a 3rd party and used to spread jarring misinformation and rumors regarding me, to the point that even my name was wrong. My legal name is Tay Tian, not ‘Claire Hope’.”

The death announcement post has since been deleted. Before that post, Tay’s most recent Instagram post was from 2018. As TMZ notes, “Tay was caught in the middle of a nasty custody battle between her parents, Angela Tian and Christopher Hope — one we were told had been going on in court since 2018, around the same time the influencer went radio silent online.”

Tay “Lil Tay” Tian is reportedly alive and well, according to a statement from her family given to TMZ. The 14-year-old was a viral sensation back in 2018. She became famous for posting videos “flexing” her wealth and status. However, amid a nasty custody battle between her mother Angela Tian and her father Christopher Hope, Lil Tay’s social media accounts fell silence. Many people claimed at the time that her parents had exploited their daughter for internet fame. The cessation of Lil Tay content concided with interviews in which Tian claimed she was being abused. Furthermore, there was backlash to videos in which Tian, who was 9 at the time, used the n-word.

However, it came as a shock to many as Tian’s Instagram page posted for the first time since 2018 on August 9. The posted announced the news that Tian and her brother Jason had died unexpectedly. The news was met with equal parts grief and skepticism. Tian’s father seemingly refused to confirm her death when contact by the media. Meanwhile, law enforcement in both LA and Vancouver stated that they had not received any notification of deaths matching Tian and her brother. Well, it appears we know why given Tian and her brother are seemingly not dead.

Lil Tay Gives Statement

“I want to make it clear that my brother and I are safe and alive, but I’m completely heartbroken, and struggling to even find the right words to say. It’s been a very traumatizing 24 hours. All day yesterday, I was bombarded with endless heartbreaking and tearful phone calls from loved ones all while trying to sort out this mess,” Tian said in a statement to TMZ. “My Instagram account was compromised by a 3rd party and used to spread jarring misinformation and rumors regarding me, to the point that even my name was wrong. My legal name is Tay Tian, not “Claire Hope”.”

However, the announcement has left questions for some people. Firstly, if this was an Instagram hack, why did her father not simply deny the rumors? Secondly, some have pointed to the “hacking” excuse as a pretty common deflection when someone messes up on social media. But, at the time of writing, all we know is what TMZ has been told. Tian’s family is claiming it was a malicious Instagram and nothing more. This remains a developing story and we’ll have any updates here at HotNewHipHop.

Was YouTube Star Lil Tay’s Death A Hoax?

Was Lil Tay’s death announcement a hoax?

After the shocking news of YouTuber-rapper Lil Tay’s death and her brother Jason Tian, an Instagram account – termanii, claiming to be Jason- has now added that the siblings are still alive.

Yesterday the page of the viral Instagram star posted that the teen passed away. The 14-year-old allegedly updated her Instagram page on Wednesday evening revealing she and her brother are not dead and that her parents are ‘sick people’.

The page posted:

“We are not dead me and my brother had everything taken from us please repost and get this out there my parents are sick people.”

Her brother also updated an Instagram page with a similar message. Neither Los Angeles nor Vancouver, Canada police have any record of her passing.

News of the viral star’s “sudden and tragic” death was posted on her Instagram page on Wednesday. But social media users questioned whether it was a hoax.

The statement read:
“It is with a heavy heart that we share the devastating news of our beloved Claire’s sudden and tragic passing. We have no words to express the unbearable loss and indescribable pain. This outcome was entirely unexpected, and has left us all in shock. Her brother’s passing adds an even more unimaginable depth to our grief.”

The post also revealed that her 21-year-old brother Jason Tian had passed away. No cause of death was given.

The statement said both deaths are “still under investigation.” But police in California, where Tay lives, and Canada, where her father lives, have no record of either deaths.

A social media user claims he witnessed them die in a car crash, according to The Mail.

Tay’s former manager Harry Tsang has since said he “cannot definitively confirm or dismiss the legitimacy of the statement,” according to The Mail.

The aspiring rapper, whose real name is Claire Hope, was best known for her fake Internet persona as a trust fund kid with access to lavish penthouses, luxury cars, and private jets.
A Canadian blog busted her as a fraud in 2018 before her mother, a real estate agent named Angela, was fired for giving Lil Tay access to vacant penthouses to shoot videos.

Viral YouTube star and aspiring rapper Claire Hope, aka Lil Tay, died suddenly at age 14, according to a message posted on her Instagram account.

“It is with a heavy heart that we share the devastating news of our beloved Claire’s sudden and tragic passing. We have no words to express the unbearable loss and indescribable pain. This outcome was entirely unexpected, and has left us all in shock.

The statement mentioned Claire’s brother also passed away and his death “adds an even more unimaginable depth to our grief.” Both of their deaths are under investigation.

Lil Tay went viral in 2018 at age 11 by pretending to be a millionaire trust fund kid living in million-dollar penthouses.

She was dubbed “InstaBrat” on Instagram where she flaunted cash and luxury cars. She gained over 3 million Instagram followers.

But Lil Tay was busted when a Vancouver, Canada blog broke the story that Lil Tay was a fraud.

Her mom, a real estate agent named Angela, was fired after her employer saw Lil Tay yelling profanities in a penthouse that was supposed to be vacant and listed for sale on Realtor.com.

As a real estate agent, Lil Tay’s mom had access to high end vacant properties that she didn’t own.

“There is no place for this sort of activity in our industry. Angela has only been a realtor with our brokerage firm for only six months,” the agency told Dailyhive.com.

Tay’s first Instagram account was deleted in 2018. She returned to Instagram to pay tribute to slain rapper Xxxtentacion, making his picture her profile icon.

Lil Tay’s “Death” Sparks Suspicion

by

The internet was shocked by the sudden news that Claire “Lil Tay” Hope had suddenly passed away on August 9. Hope gained infamy in the late 2010s for her boisterous internet persona. Her videos often showed her wads of cash and posting up in luxury apartments. While she called herself the “internet’s hardest flexer”, many YouTube detectives argued that it was just an act. These commentators argued that Hope was likely being directed by her parents. Furthermore, evidence emerged that Hope was likely filming at properties managed by her mother Angela Tian, a realtor.

However, Hope’s star quickly faded into tragedy. First, videos containing then then-nine-year-old Hope using racial slurs emerged. Then, several interviews with outlets such as The Daily Beast saw Hope claim parental abuse and a forced move to Vancouver to be with her father after he reportedly threatened to have her mother arrested. Hope’s social media pages were inactive from 2018 until the sudden announcement of her death this week. Despite all this, people are starting to question the sudden obituary.

Is Lil Tay Dead?

Speculation has begun to emerge that Hope may not be dead and that her parents have faked her death in an attempt to bring new attention to the Lil Tay brand. This comes after her father, Christopher, seemingly refused to confirm her death. “Yeah, you have the right person, but I don’t have any comment right now. I’m not able to give you any comment right now. I’m sorry — I can’t,” Hope told the New York Post in a brief phone call. A similar statement was made by Henry Tsang, the alleged ex-manager of Lil Tay. “I have been in communication with individuals who have an intimate understanding of the family’s situation. Given the complexities of the current circumstances, I am at a point where I cannot definitively confirm or dismiss the legitimacy of the statement issued by the family,” Tsang told the US Sun.

Additionally, it’s unclear where Hope was at the time of her alleged death. A spokesperson for the Vancouver PD told The Post that they had not received any reports of deaths matching Hope or her brother, Jason Tian. Tian was also reported to have died alongside Hope. Furthermore, The Post was unable to contact Hope’s mother Angela, or the LAPD. This is a developing story and we’ll have any updates here at HotNewHipHop.
