Lil Tay, whose real name is Tay Tian, is an American-born Canadian internet personality and musician. She rose to fame in 2018 when she went viral for a period of three months, proclaiming herself to be the "youngest flexer of the century" and boasting about her wealth. During her brief career, she posted rap videos on YouTube and Instagram, which garnered millions of views. She has released two singles, "Money Way" in 2018 and "Sucker 4 Green" in 2023.

Lil Tays origin story, according to her, is that she grew up "broke as hell" in Atlanta but worked really hard "moving bricks." Eventually, she got into Harvard and then dropped out. However, this story has been widely disputed. In reality, Lil Tays brother, Jason Tian, was the one who had access to her Instagram account and coached her on what to say and how to say it. According to reports, he was often harsh and cruel, and on at least one instance prompted her to say racial slurs.

Lil Tay has been involved in several controversies, including a death hoax in August 2023, which she claimed was orchestrated by her father, Christopher Hope, who she accused of abuse and neglect. Her mother, Angela Tian, has since obtained primary custody of Lil Tay.

In October 2023, Lil Tay released a new music video for "Sucker 4 Green," where she flaunts an over-the-top lifestyle.
