Rapper Lil Tay, Teen YouTube Sensation, Dies at 14
YouTube teen sensation Lil Tay, whose real name was Claire Hope, has died at age 14, her family said in an Instagram post on Wednesday.
“It is with a heavy heart that we share the devastating news of our beloved Claire’s sudden and tragic passing,” her family wrote. No cause of death has been revealed at this point.
They also mentioned the recent passing of her brother, Jason Tian, who rapped under the name of Rycie.
“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,” the statement continued.
Tay first came to fame at age 9, posting profanity-laced videos to IG, including one in which she boasts, “I just bought a Lamborghini.”
In 2018, she starred in “Life With Lil Tay,” a three-episode docuseries about her rise to fame on the Zeus Network.
She last posted to Instagram in June 2018, after her previous posts were deleted. As Insider reported at the time, she wrote “Help me” in an Instagram story.
Diomi Cordero, a spokesperson for Lil Tay, told told BuzzFeed News, “I am rebranding Lil Tay … stay tuned.”
Her final IG post in June 2018 paid tribute to 20-year-old rapper XXXTentacion, who was shot and killed that month.
Allegations of abuse against her father, Chris Hope, surfaced in what appeared to be a hacking of her account in March 2019. Hope denied the charges, as The Daily Beast reported at the time.
The outlet spoke to Tay and her mother, Angela Tian, about the custody fight with Chris Hope. Tay told The Daily Beast, “I didn’t see him for multiple years… it’s obvious he just came back because he wants money.” She also accused a babysitter of locking her in a closet for “a few hours” while her father was “out partying.”
Hope told the outlet, “She was never locked in a closet. If there is any abuse, it didn’t take place at my house or have anything to do with me. Whoever was running the Instagram — I think we all know who was running the Instagram —made a lot of false allegations.”
Tian claimed at the time that, despite videos of her daughter showing off wads of cash, “Lil Tay has made no money. We got a lot of chances, but we didn’t accept them.”

>Implies that he was president at some point…
Come on anon, haven't you heard the new talking point? He's the Legit President of the Failed Corporation.
eye roll…shitscript
Rachel, is your Maiden name Chandler?
The rich are getting richer, and the poor are getting poorer.
Under Trump, the Blue States did not see any of these so called "Perks" that continually get boasted about.
There's this Blanket Misconception that EVERYONE was so much better off under Trump, but seems they forget who THEY ALLOWED to rule over the peasants, just to make a point. (We already KNEW and were betting for help, that NEVER CAME)
we will never forget.
Nah, Obummer is also a puppet now.
They're ALL puppets of the Script. They're impotent. Cut off at the knees. Forced to expose themselves now for their part of the plea deals.
Who is in Control?
Who is the one behind the curtain?
Who gave us a MAP with the entire thing laid out, that continues to give us 8 yrs of 'here, link this post, to a past drop… that should keep you entertained a little while longer.
The ones we elected to do the heavy lifting. Everyone else is just an Actor, some more noticeable than others.
Don't think so?
Where's no name. Why's he out of the script so early?
Why did Hilly get tossed into the Van like dead sack of shit? Why do all these corrupt politicians, suddenly dissappear for a bit, and a new puppet distraction comes in? Why has Piglosi been for the past few months?
Whole shit show is just that. Hopium ran out long ago, thinking our excitement and prayers for Justice, could help move the scale quicker.
