Lil Tay, the former child rapper who sensationalized the internet with her brash persona, is now making waves in the adult entertainment world. Just after turning 18 in July, Tay, who was born Claire Hope, launched her OnlyFans career with a bang. Known for her audacious personality, she's now sharing her unfiltered thoughts on career paths and education.
In a candid Instagram video shared on August 17, Tay was unapologetic about her views on traditional 9 to 5 jobs. "If you’re over the age of 25 and you’re still working a 9 to 5, you are a failure," she declared. "By then, you should have already made your bag. And ladies, every single one of you should drop the link like me. Literally just make your bag. Who gives a f**k what anybody thinks?"
“F**k an education because Harvard was never gonna help me make eight figures,” Tay continued. “That’s why I dropped out of it and I dropped the link instead.”
Tay also revealed that her family had "kicked her out," a situation that has not deterred her from pursuing her OnlyFans ambitions. Her transition from internet fame to adult content creation is just as controversial as expected, with many accusing her of "rage baiting" to maintain engagement. "Y’all forgot Lil Tay was rage baiting since she was young," noted one Instagram user, while another commented, "Her whole brand is rage bait, bro."
Tay first teased her OnlyFans project just before her 18th birthday, hinting at the anticipation in a July 22 Instagram video. "Every male has been counting down to it and literally telling me to ‘drop the link’ the second I turn 18. Girlies, what do you think? Should I do it?" she asked her followers.
True to her word, Tay didn’t waste a moment once she reached the legal age. On July 29, just three days after her birthday, she claimed to have created content for OnlyFans "one minute past midnight." Her bold leap into the platform has reportedly been lucrative, with Tay claiming to have made millions within hours, as shared in an Instagram Reel.
Lil Tay’s journey from viral child star to OnlyFans mogul is as unpredictable as it is headline-making, leaving fans and critics alike watching her every move.
