Lil Tay: OnlyFans Phenom Sparks Outrage Post-18

Controversial star Lil Tay has prompted fierce backlash after revealing her staggering OnlyFans earnings with her 5.7 million Instagram followers

EXCLUSIVE: Lil Tay Sparks Outrage with Shocking OnlyFans Reveal

The drama queen is back, and she's bringing the heat! Controversial social media personality Lil Tay has left her 5.7 million Instagram followers speechless after announcing that she's made a staggering $1 million on adult content platform OnlyFans – just hours after turning the big 1-8.

The self-proclaimed "internet sensation" wasted no time launching her OnlyFans account, dropping the link at exactly midnight on her birthday. She took to her bio to confess: "Please don't tell my mom." Because, let's be real, she knows her mom is probably not thrilled about this move. Lil Tay promised fans a glimpse into her "birthday suits," and boy, did she deliver!

The controversial star made $1 million within the first three hours of posting her OnlyFans link

Within just two hours of joining the platform, she had racked up an impressive 100,000 subscribers. By the third hour, she was already raking in a cool million – a feat that left many stunned. To celebrate this milestone, Lil Tay posted a screenshot of her earnings on Instagram, captioning it: "We broke the f**k out of that OnlyFans record." Talk about confidence!

However, not everyone is celebrating Lil Tay's success. Her announcement sparked a firestorm of criticism, with fans branding her as "deranged" and slamming subscribers for enabling her behavior. One user wrote: "You've been watching her since she was a child, and the second she turns 18, you're throwing money at her? That's just messed up." Another added: "Whoever is paying y'all some f**kin' creeps and weirdos."

This isn't the first time Lil Tay has made headlines for all the wrong reasons. Born Claire Eileen Qi Hope, she first went viral in 2017 after posting videos full of foul language and violent behavior at just nine years old! It was later revealed that her brother Jason Tian was feeding her lines off-camera, sparking concerns that she was being exploited by her family for money.

Influencer Lil Tay seemed indifferent about the criticism calling critics 'grown haters'

The drama didn't stop there. In 2018, Lil Tay's mom, Angela Tian, lost her job as a real estate agent after allegedly using her employer's properties and cars in her daughter's videos. The situation escalated into a custody battle between her estranged parents, with her father, Christopher Hope, wanting her to focus on music with more structure and oversight.

But that was just the beginning. In 2019, Lil Tay's brother Jason launched a GoFundMe campaign, accusing their father of abuse and stealing millions from her earnings. Her father denied all allegations, but the drama continued. In August 2023, a post from Lil Tay's verified Instagram account claimed that both she and her brother had died – a rumor that sparked widespread panic among fans. However, TMZ later confirmed that they were alive, with Lil Tay blaming the post on a hacking incident.

Just when you thought it was safe to breathe again, news broke in September 2024 that Lil Tay was hospitalized after being diagnosed with a life-threatening tumor and undergoing open-heart surgery. Fans rallied around her, but now she's back online, flaunting her newfound success – and ruffling feathers once more.

Lil Tay has been in the public eye since the age of nine, when she was making YouTube videos showing off her 'luxurious lifestyle'

When asked about the criticism, Lil Tay fired back: "You can hate on me all you want, you can't say Lil Tay ain't winning." Well, we can certainly say that she's been making headlines for quite some time now. But will this latest move be her most notorious yet? Only time will tell!
