Once known as the “most rebellious kid rapper on social media,” hot girl Lil Tay (real name Claire Hope) is back in the spotlight after a series of shocking statements on Instagram.
Specifically, the rapper and social media star bluntly criticized women over 25 who stick to traditional office jobs, sparking a huge public uproar.
Lil Tay just turned 18 last month and immediately launched an account on a popular photo-selling platform. According to her, within just three hours of going live, her profile gained 100,000 subscribers and earned over $1 million (nearly 30 billion VND).
In a newly posted video, Lil Tay didn’t hesitate to flaunt her massive income and encouraged other girls to join the platform. She stirred even more controversy by openly saying she doesn’t care what her family thinks and that she’s now made enough money to support herself for life.
Many people argue she’s promoting a lifestyle of indulgence without regard for consequences, which could negatively influence young people, especially those heavily impacted by social media culture. As a result, her profile is currently under heavy fire from the online community. Lil Tay is no stranger to drama. Since age nine, she gained fame through videos full of confusing language, boasting about money and luxury cars. However, it was later revealed that her older brother scripted and coached her performances.
Now at 18, Lil Tay continues to cultivate a provocative image, using controversy to grab attention. But many worry that this fame, paired with misleading messages, sets a dangerous example. Social experts warn that glorifying instant success stories like hers creates a distorted standard. While some young people chase quick fame and fortune, the value of hard work and knowledge is increasingly overlooked.
