The Instagram post that claimed Lil Tay and her brother had died has been removed. Initially, the post gained a lot of attention on social media and was shared widely. However, TMZ has now reported that the post was a hoax.
In a statement provided to TMZ, Lil Tay clarified that she and her brother are safe and alive. She explained that her Instagram account was hacked by a third party, who spread false information and rumors about her, even getting her name wrong. Lil Tay emphasized that her legal name is Tay Tian, not “Claire Hope.”
Despite multiple reports of Lil Tay’s Instagram being hacked in the past, various media outlets treated the recent post as authentic. However, Lil Tay’s former manager, Harry Tsang, stated that he couldn’t confirm or deny its accuracy due to the complexity of the situation and the need for sensitivity.
Authorities from multiple police agencies, including the Vancouver Police Department and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Burnaby division, stated that they have no knowledge of Lil Tay’s death or any ongoing investigation. Similarly, authorities in Los Angeles, where she and her family spent time during her rise to fame, had no information about her death.
Lil Tay became an internet sensation in 2017 as a provocative and foul-mouthed 9-year-old. However, questions arose about her family’s influence and profiting off her internet persona after a video surfaced of her brother supposedly feeding her lines. In 2018, her Instagram account posted distressing messages, followed by accusations of abuse against her father. However, her representative claimed she was hacked, and her father denied the allegations.
In 2021, a fundraiser called Saveliltay.com was created to support Lil Tay’s legal fees. The fundraiser accused her father of abuse and exploitation. Tsang, Lil Tay’s former manager, expressed relief that she was safe but believed that her Instagram account was never hacked. He suggested that the motive behind the recent post might have been to extract funds from her supporters or reignite her public prominence.
In conclusion, the Instagram post about Lil Tay and her brother’s death has been confirmed as a hoax. Lil Tay and her family have stated that she is safe and alive. Authorities have no knowledge of any investigation into her death.
