If you haven't already seen the viral clips of this young yellow haired 9-year-old cursing and boasting about her wealth, count yourself lucky.
In a disrespectfully entertaining form of irony, Lil Tay is a 9-year-old rapper that has been spotted at Coachella, worked on a music video with Chief Keef and had a public altercation with Danielle Bregoli.
There are so many questions about her and Google offers very little in way of answers. Who is this child and why does she have so many "bands"? Who's signing her and honestly, why?
Lil Tay is a 9-year-old rapper.
Maybe she is of the likes of the now infamous Walmart yodel boy, who himself, with the help of just one viral video was spontaneously catapulted into a world of fame so real that he performed at Coachella. (Now I kind of wish my mom forced me to perform in Walmart and recorded it, if I'm being honest.)
But the fact is that no one really knows where Lil Tay comes from. There is something about her savage verbal outbursts and her unyielding confidence that sets her apart from other typical 9-year-olds. I sat in a classroom learning how to write cursive at 9 years old, but Lil Tay? At nine years old, she's popping bands.
If you scour the twitter threads coming up everywhere about her (I certainly have), a lot of them call BS and claim that Lil Tay is an industry plant, used to generate hype and publicity around record label songs. The conspiracy is that she's a character, almost a paid actress at this point who's role is to represent this wild and erratic persona to essentially, tick people off. Is this true?
No one is really sure. Only thing we are sure about, whether its all an act or not, she's certainly invested in this character.
