When it was reported that her brother, Jason Tian, 21, had also passed away, the teen’s sudden and terrible death was verified by an unknown family member in a statement put on her Instagram account today.

Because of allegations that her father had physically and mentally abused her as well as accusations that her brother had taken advantage of her, Lil Tay found herself at the centre of a fiery controversy in 2018. Her mother also lost her job as a real estate agent because of the child’s material.

‘It is with a heavy heart that we share the devastating news of our beloved Claire’s sudden and tragic passing,’ the post – which did not reveal the cause of death – began. 

‘We have no words to express the unbearable loss and indescribable pain.’

What happened to Lil Tay?

The sensational teenager reportedly died in a car accident. Investigations are still ongoing and the exact cause of death will soon be made available to the media.

After accusing Hope and his wife Hanee of physical and mental abuse, her brother Jason created a GoFundMe page to try and raise $19,000 for Lil Tay. Lil Tay’s absence was attempted to be explained online by Jason, who is not Hope’s son.

‘My sister Tay has been silent on social media for the past three years because her absentee father (Chris Hope) served my mother a court order demanding control over Tay’s money, career, and custody, and as a result, it was court ordered that my sister had to return to Vancouver, Canada.

‘He also requested, a court order to prevent her from speaking out about the truth.’

Jason then claimed that Hope had ‘stolen millions of dollars from the rising star for his own benefit.

Lil Tay, who is originally from Canada but now resides in Los Angeles, became well-known online in 2017 when she started recording videos at the age of nine.

She was shown in her contentious videos cursing, demeaning bystanders, flashing wads of cash, and even inciting fights while claiming to be the “youngest flexer of the century” and “above the haters.” In order to generate interest in her content, she had previously posted films that contained language like “n,” “p,” and “c***.”

She later appeared on Good Morning America with her mother to defend her reputation. Nevertheless, Lil Tay swiftly amassed more than 3.3 million followers on Instagram alone and was regarded as one of the top up-and-coming stars on the internet despite the criticism.

Preliminary investigations reveal she died via an accident. There’s ambiguity surrounding her cause of death, as it has been claimed the car she was travelling in driven by her brother, had a head-on collision with another vehicle. A social media user, Jesse Ryan, who claimed he witnessed the accident, wrote: ‘As someone who was at the scene, I can confirm that both were together when passing. Due to a car collision. The brother was driving.

‘Local officials are speculating “texting and driving” is the cause. The other vehicle occupants were okay with minor injuries.’ 

Lil Tay’s lawyer father, Christopher Hope, declined to comment when contacted by DailyMail.com. In a tribute to rapper XXXTentacion after his passing in 2018, Lil Tay claimed she ‘did not have’ a father figure, suggesting that he and the social media star had a tense relationship.

The rapper’s family has sadly announced her death on social media. An unknown family member confirmed the teen’s’sudden and terrible’ death in a statement posted on her Instagram account today.
