Lil Tay Says She Made Over $1 Million Within Hours of Creating Her OnlyFans Account
Lil Tay shared on social media that she made over $1 million on OnlyFans in three hours, less than one week after she turned 18.
Lil Tay is flexing a new achievement.
Days after the rapper turned 18 years old, she says she amassed over $1 million on OnlyFans within three hours of creating her account.
Tay shared a photo of her alleged earnings on Instagram Aug. 3, in which she earned $1,024,298: $486,558 from messages, $511,003 from subscriptions and $26,736 in tips.
She went on to chide her critics in another video, telling viewers, “You can hate on me all you want.”
“You can’t say Lil Tay ain’t winning,” she continued. “So, for everybody out there, do whatever the hell you want with your life. Who gives a f–k what people have to say? Remember this, Lil Tay rich and finna get richer.”
Tay, who turned 18 on July 29, teased the idea of joining the adult content website a week before her birthday.
“Every male has been counting down to it and literally telling me to ‘drop the link’ the second I turn 18,” she said in a July 22 Instagram video. “Girlies, what do you think? Should I do it?”
The content creator—who went viral in 2018 for her profanity-filled raps about her lavish lifestyle—went on to make 10 more videos asking whether she should join OnlyFans before sharing the link to her account.
Tay claimed in an Aug. 2 TikTok Live that she made the content “one minute past midnight” on her 18th birthday.
The teen’s latest social media campaign comes nearly two years after news broke that she and her older brother Jason had died. However, a day later, Tay alleged that her account had been hacked.
X / Lil Tay“I want to make it clear that my brother and I are safe and alive, but I’m completely heartbroken, and struggling to even find the right words to say,” she said in a family statement shared to TMZ in August 2023. “My Instagram account was compromised by a 3rd party and used to spread jarring misinformation and rumors.”
Tay—who had been planning a comeback for years after vanishing from the internet in 2018 amid a custody battle between her parents—noted that the rumor threw a wrench in her return.
“I really wanted to get things going,” she told Rolling Stone in November 2023. “And this was just something that came out of absolutely nowhere. And I had to clean up.”
