14-year-old influencer Lil Tay and her older brother are said to have died in a car accident. But that’s pure speculation on social media. The family only announced her death and did not explain the circumstances.
Claire Hope, just nine years old, rose to fame as Lil Tay with cheeky clips and memes in which she showed off designer clothes and gangster rap-style luxury cars laced with swear words normally off limits to little girls.
More than three million fans followed her on Instagram, although she hadn’t posted since 2018.
Now the girl would have died together with her brother, according to a message on her Instagram page.
“We have no words to express the unbearable loss and indescribable pain (…) The death of her brother makes our grief even greater and more unimaginable,” the statement read.
No confirmation
According to the New York Post, the girl’s father refused to respond to her request to confirm her death. The Vancouver police, where the family lives, said they were not aware of the deaths.
The “Daily Mail,” meanwhile, reports that a witness has come forward on social media claiming to have witnessed an accident involving the siblings.
He explained: “As someone who was there, I can confirm that they were both together when they died in a car accident. The brother was driving.”
Fans of the young influencer do not want to believe her death and speculate that her family took advantage of her and had something to hide. The comments on her death also included a link to an Instagram page with a single post showing Lil Tay’s photo and a post claiming that she and her brother are still alive an hour after it was published.
