The deletion fueled questions about the validity of the original announcement.
A statement alleging that Lil Tay, who rose to stardom as a rapper and influencer on social media, had died was deleted on Thursday afternoon from her verified Instagram account, fueling questions about the validity of the original announcement about her death,The deletion of the post came after her father, Chris Hope, declined to comment when asked by ABC News on Wednesday about reports that his daughter and her brother, Jason Tian, had died.
The statement also alleged that Lil Tay's brother, Jason Tian, had died also and that their deaths are under investigation. The post did not state where and when they died, but Lil Tay is a native of Canada who moved to Los Angeles in 2018 to pursue opportunities in the entertainment industry. Lil Tay's last Instagram was posted on June 18, 2018, showing what appeared to be a screenshot of Lil Tay Facetiming with the late rapper XXXTentacion, whose real name is Jahseh Onfroy. The post is a tribute to the rapper, who was shot and killed, in Broward County, Florida on June 18, 2018. He was 20 years old.
The expletives in Lil Tay's social media videos and her imitations of so-called gangster rappers -- in one of which she pretends to use drugs and in another, she uses the n-word -- prompted controversy and questions about the potential exploitation of children on social media.
