Viral Rapper Lil Tay Has Died At 14

Internet sensation and rapper Lil Tay has tragically passed away.

Her team confirmed the news on her Instagram account, writing, "It is with a heavy heart that we share the devastating news of our beloved Claire's sudden and tragic passing." Lil Tay first rose to fame in 2018 at the tender age of nine, captivating fans with "Money Way."

She famously had "beef" with Youtuber RiceGum, gaining traction as she hit the camera with Cartier watches and Gucci belts, bullying his sister. Lil Tay later went on to side with Instagram influencer Woah Vicky in the midst of her public feud with Dr. Phil guest turned rapper Bhad Bhabie. The influencer dubbed herself as the "youngest flexer," refuting claims that her parents ran her Instagram.

"Her brother's passing adds an even more unimaginable depth to our grief," it continues. "During this time of immense sorrow, we kindly ask for privacy as we grieve this overwhelming loss, as the circumstances surrounding Claire and her brother's passing are still under investigation. Claire will forever remain in our hearts, her absence leaving an irreplaceable void that will be felt by all who knew and loved her."

Lil Tay is just the latest star to die tragically young as Euphoria's Angus Cloud died at the age of 25 this past month.
