According to American media, Lil Tay made a public appearance on Wednesday in Los Angeles, the first since the former social media star was falsely declared dead.
It is difficult to determine who is hiding under the mask, sunglasses and hood of the person filmed Wednesday at the Los Angeles airport, but according to the magazine TMZwhich follows the soap opera closely, it is indeed about Lil Tay, this teenager who caused a lot of ink to flow in August.
Lil Tay was greeted by several media outlets, who bombarded her with camera flashes and questions. “Lil Tay, how are you?” Is it true that your father faked your death? » The young girl, accompanied according to TMZ of his mother Angela Tian and his brother Jason, did not say a word before rushing into a van.
Lil Tay, who grew up in Vancouver, had his moment of internet fame in 2018, at the age of 9, by impersonating a rapper exposing his wealth. On August 9, a post on his Instagram account which appeared to have been written by those close to him announced his “sudden tragic death” as well as that of his older brother. The news had gone around the world. The day after, TMZ published an article claiming that Lil Tay was alive and that her account had been hacked.
Tuesday, another twist: a photo of Lil Tay’s father, lawyer Christopher Hope, was published on the young girl’s Instagram account (and since deleted). The photo was accompanied by a defamatory message claiming in particular that the young girl’s father was the author of the hoax announcing the death of Lil Tay, which the main person concerned denied.
Lil Tay, now 14, is at the center of a legal battle between her parents. According to the magazine Insiderthe girl’s Instagram page has been used in the past in a smear campaign against her father.
