Social media influencer Lil Tay has died at 14, according to a statement posted on her social media accounts.
Lil Tay, whose real name was Claire Hope, died “unexpectedly”, according to her family.
“It is with a heavy heart that we share the devastating news of our beloved Claire’s sudden and tragic passing. We have no words to express the unbearable loss and indescribable pain, the statement reads. “This outcome was entirely unexpected and has left us all in shock.”
Lil Tay, Canadian-born, rose to her fame on social media in 2018 when she was just nine years old.
Her image and videos centered around her rapping and bragging about her “lavish” lifestyle that was later exposed to be fake.
Her older brother was the mastermind behind the young influencer’s image and took a lot of heat after a video surfaced, showing him directing her on what to say for a video, which she visibly didn’t want to do.
Her last Instagram post was when rapper XXXTentancion died.
Lil Tay, the self-proclaimed “youngest flexer of the country” will be missed by many.
Authorities say her death is under investigation.
