Social media star Lil Tay, née Claire Eileen Qi Hope, has reportedly died at age 14.

Representatives for the rapping teen, who crowned herself “the youngest flexer of the century” during her rise to digital fame at age 9 in 2017, announced her death on Instagram Wednesday.

Her cause of death has not been publicly revealed.

Reps for Lil Tay did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.

The virally irreverent Gen Z was best known for sharing spoof clips of herself holding wads of cash to her ear on YouTube.

“It is with a heavy heart that we share the devastating news of our beloved Claire’s sudden and tragic passing,” read the statement dedicated to the native Canadian, who relocated to Los Angeles amid her rise to cyber superstardom.

“We have no words to express the unbearable loss and indescribable pain” continued the message. “This outcome was entirely unexpected, and has left us all in shock.”




quote:

Owing to her controversial content, which often came littered with slurs such as the “N-word,” Lil Tay amassed over 3.3 million Instagram followers.

shitty parenting

It's a shame that it has become taboo to question parenting ability and effort.

Her whole character was cursing and talking about how hard she was even though she was 9. Turned out her brother was making her do it.

I remember her being posted here a few years ago. What shitty parenting and a shitty society to support such ill behavior from a kid.

Rough day for kids on the OT. Two other threads about two other children have been nuked already.

She ran with twelve gangs and all they did was commit hate crimes?

I will pour a chocolate milk out for her.
See you someday in the big Tik Tok in the sky.

RIP.

I don't think kids with undeveloped minds are being done any favors by allowing them unfettered access to ideas, adults and trolls. Kids don't have the coping mechanisms

I don't know what's more sad, that I somewhat know who this is, or that she's dead.

Obviously it's more sad that a child is dead, but she was doomed from the start. Bad parenting is obvious sometimes.
