what happen to lil tay

In August 2023, a message appeared on Lil Tays Instagram account announcing that she and her brother had passed away, but outlets were unable to verify the news with her family members or with police in Vancouver, where she grew up before moving to L.A. . After 24 hours of no information, TMZ claimed Lil Tay was alive and had been hacked. Lil Tay, whose legal name is Tay Tian, accused her father, Christopher Hope, of abuse that included inappropriate behavior and neglect, which she detailed in her post. She claims that he had not been present in her life before her internet fame and reappeared with the intent to "control" her money. She also stated her belief that her father was behind the death hoax in an attempt to "sabotage" her career. Recently, Lil Tay released a new music video and single, and she is reportedly still alive after the false social media death hoax.
