#trending: Fans accuse child rapper Lil Tay of ‘publicity stunt’ after fake death announcement

Lil Tay — whose legal name is Tay Tian — said that her Instagram account had been “compromised by a third party and used to spread jarring misinformation and rumours” about her in a statement provided to American entertainment news outlet TMZ.

“All day yesterday, I was bombarded with endless heartbreaking and tearful phone calls from loved ones all while trying to sort out this mess.”Lil Tay shot to fame in 2018 at the tender age of 9 by imitating so-called gangster rappers and flaunting her extravagant lifestyle. The self-proclaimed “youngest flexer” amassed millions of followers with expletive-laden rants and videos of her flashing wads of cash, travelling in fancy cars and giving luxury home tours.

Questions about the validity of the Instagram post were fueled even further after Lil Tay’s father, Chris Hope, declined to comment on reports that his daughter and her brother had died. In an interview with Daily Mail, Mr Tsang, who was the spokesperson for Lil Tay and her family during the height of her success in 2018, expressed scepticism over the veracity of his former client's statement.

"Secondly, the actions of Lil Tay's brother, renowned for his propensity for extreme measures, lead me to hypothesise an alternative motive behind this occurrence," he added. Instagram users also flooded Lil Tay’s most recent post with comments criticising her for allegedly faking her death while some others demanded for video proof that she is still alive.
