On September 12, 2024, Lil Tay\u2019s Instagram account posted a video of an ultrasound supposedly showing the influencer\u2019s heart beating. In the imagery, viewers can spot what the narrator describes as a \u201cbubble\u201d inside her heart. \u201cTay has been diagnosed with a life-threatening heart tumor,\u201d the post\u2019s caption reads. \u201cWe ask kindly for everyone\u2019s love and prayers.\u201d Her account updated fans on September 13, revealing that Tay was going into surgery to get the tumor removed. \u201cTay is about to undergo major open-heart surgery to remove her heart tumor.

This latest news follows several cryptic posts about the young internet star that were published on September 11, which claimed that the poster had \u201cdevastating news regarding Tay.\u201d The next day, a photo taken inside of a hospital was shared to a private chat on Tay\u2019s Instagram account showing signs directing patients to the pediatric intensive care unit. \u201cTay is currently in the ICU in serious condition,\u201d a message in the chat claimed. Since then, images of Lil Tay in a hospital bed have been uploaded post-op, dispelling a lot of the skepticism around her surgery and health condition. However, even with this posted, people remain skeptical of her due to her social media accounts being taken over by other people in the past. Tay\u2019s Instagram account was hacked in 2023 with claims that both she and her brother had died. Later, Tay regained control of her account and denied these rumors, saying both she and her brother were alive and claiming that her father was behind the viral \u2018hoax.\u2019 Since then, Tay has made a comeback on social media and launched a budding music career. Due to the past hoax, though, fans are remaining staunch about taking the ultrasound with a grain of salt. \u201cI can\u2019t tell if this is bait or not,\u201d one commenter admitted. \u201cBruh, who hacked her now?\u201d another asked. \u201cShow us her name on the thing then,\u201d yet another demanded. Since posting the ultrasound video, Lil Tay\u2019s X account has also retweeted a post from a fan, which shows a photo of a written statement supposedly created by the influencer. \u201cThe news hasn\u2019t broken yet, but I\u2019ve also been diagnosed with a heart tumor,\u201d the writing says. \u201cThe future is unknown, and it\u2019s been a rocky six months.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lil Tay claims she went through open-heart surgery after \u201clife-threatening\u201d tumor diagnosis YouTube, Instagram: liltay17-year-old influencer Lil Tay has allegedly been diagnosed with a heart tumor and is undergoing open-heart surgery, as per a post on her Instagram account.
