Rapper and influencer Lil Tay silenced a storm of speculation surrounding her alleged demise as she took to her verified Instagram account on Thursday to quell the unsettling rumors that had circulated about her supposed passing.

As the online frenzy reached a fever pitch, a statement attributed to Lil Tay emerged, asserting that her Instagram account had fallen victim to the clutches of a malicious third party.

The perpetrator exploited the platform to unleash a barrage of false information and unsettling rumors, leaving the star’s fans and followers reeling in confusion.

Meta, the parent company of Instagram, remained tight-lipped in the face of these allegations, declining to comment on whether the account had indeed fallen victim to a hacking incident.

Despite the courageous attempt by Lil Tay to put the record straight, US media reaching the rapper, her mother Angela Tian and her brother Jason Tian proved unsuccessful, leaving a lingering air of mystery.

In an emotional twist, the young rapper revealed her struggle to cope with the fallout from the incident.

The saga took a darker turn when questions arose about the authenticity of a post that had surfaced earlier. The post, referring to Lil Tay as “Claire,” had announced a heartbreaking and unexpected loss, plunging her fans into grief. The statement alluded to the passing of Lil Tay’s brother, Jason Tian, and detailed the family’s profound sorrow.
