LIL TAY Makes Comeback After 5 Years, And Netizens Believe She’s In Her K-Pop Era
Content Warning
Chinese Canadian music artist LIL TAY (also known as Tay Tian) rose to fame at only nine years old in 2018 as the “youngest flexer of the century.” She posted content on Instagram, showcasing luxurious vehicles and fashion, as well as rapping videos on YouTube.
On August 9 of this year, LIL TAY’s Instagram account was finally updated after two years of inactivity, announcing that she and her half-brother, Jason Tian, had died. Before her alleged death, her YouTube bio read, “help me.”
Yet, on August 10, it was revealed by LIL TAY’s family that the account had been compromised, and they were alive. Recently, LIL TAY herself took to Instagram Live to clear up all rumors circulating, what has happened in the past five years during her inactivity, exposing her “abusive absentee father,” Christopher Hope, who had attempted to “take control over [her] career and money.”
