Lil Tay confirms she is not dead and her social media was hacked Lil TayJust a day after Lil Tay and her brother were reported dead in a post on her Instagram page, the internet star has confirmed they\u2019re both in fact alive. On August 9, 2023, a post appeared on Lil Tay\u2019s Instagram page stating that both Tay and her older brother had passed away and that the situation behind it was under investigation. Just a day later, however, Lil Tay has revealed that both her and her brother are alive in an exclusive statement to TMZ. No, Lil Tay and her brother are not dead In the comment, Tay\u2019s family revealed that her Instagram account had been hacked. \u201cI want to make it clear that my brother and I are safe and alive, but I\u2019m completely heartbroken, and struggling to even find the right words to say. It\u2019s been a very traumatizing 24 hours. All day yesterday, I was bombarded with endless heartbreaking and tearful phone calls from loved ones all while trying to sort out this mess,\u201d she said. \u201cMy Instagram account was compromised by a 3rd party and used to spread jarring misinformation and rumors regarding me, to the point that even my name was wrong. My legal name is Tay Tian, not \u2018Claire Hope.’\u201d Tay sent her thanks to Meta for helping get her Instagram account back, and she\u2019s since removed the fake death statement. Although she has amassed 3.4 million followers on Instagram, Lil Tay has been radio silent for several years now \u2014 marking this statement to TMZ the first time she\u2019s spoke publicly in recent years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
