Lil Tay—real name Tay Tian (formerly Claire Hope)—is an American-Canadian internet personality and rapper who first went viral in 2018 as the self-proclaimed “youngest flexer of the century.” She was just nine years old when she began flaunting luxury cars, designer clothes, and stacks of cash on Instagram and YouTube. Her fame was short-lived, though, as family disputes and custody battles led to a sudden disappearance from the spotlight.
She re-emerged in 2023 with a pop single called “Sucker 4 Green”, and in 2025, she made headlines again by launching an OnlyFans account on her 18th birthday. Tay claimed to have earned $15 million in just two weeks, sparking backlash and disbelief from other creators like Sophie Rain. She’s since defended her choices, saying she wants to “motivate” 9-to-5 workers and empower women to take control of their bodies and income.
