Quick Scoop: Lil Tay’s story has mostly centered on a 2023 death hoax, then a 2024 health scare, and later a 2025 comeback involving new music, boxing plans, and a much-publicized OnlyFans launch after she turned 18.

What happened

  • In August 2023, a post on her account falsely claimed she had died; later reporting said the claim could not be verified and her account had been compromised or mishandled.
  • In September 2024, her social accounts posted alarming messages about a heart tumor and hospital stay, and later coverage said she was recovering from heart surgery.
  • By 2025, she reemerged publicly, saying she was focused on music and other projects, and reports said she launched OnlyFans shortly after her 18th birthday and claimed major early earnings.

Why people keep talking
