In a shocking revelation, young rapper and influencer Lil Tay, who had been making headlines after gaining massive attention for launching an OnlyFans account shortly after her 18th birthday and claiming to have earned over $1 million (Rs 8.35 crore) within the first three hours, admitted that she had dreamed of starting an OnlyFans career since she was 9 years old.
During a recent TMZ interview, the OnlyFans model, who is now 18 years old, launched her account the day she came of age. She spoke about her record-breaking success on the platform, but her comment about having such ambitions from a young age has sparked widespread concern.
Amid this, fans and critics alike are expressing sadness over the pressures and influences that could lead a child to aspire to such a path, highlighting the troubling realities of fame, internet culture, and exploitation in the digital age.
Lil Tay makes shocking claims about her adult content career
According to The Blast, the former child star, who was born as Tay Tian, became famous for her social media presence in early 2018. While she first gained attention by calling herself the youngest flexer of the century and sharing music-related content, she has now taken a different direction at 18.
In a new controversial interview, Lil opened up about her rapid rise on OnlyFans, revealing that her success on the adult content platform was something she had planned for years. Shockingly, the 18-year-old claimed, "I've been planning this since I was nine," Lil Tay declared, adding that she knew people were eagerly waiting for her to become legal.
Boasting that she earned a staggering $1 million within just three hours of launching her account, Tay also alleged that some of her most eager followers were celebrities, though she declined to name them. The admission has sparked concern over the early sexualisation of young influencers and the disturbing interest shown by some in her transition to adulthood.
Not family support: Adult influencer claims her family doesn't support her
Further in the interview, when asked about her estranged relationship with her father and whether his response to her OnlyFans launch could spark a reconciliation, Lil Tay remained distant.
The two famously parted ways in 2021 amid serious allegations of child abuse and custody battles. While her father told the outlet he wouldn't interfere with her choices, Lil Tay declined to comment, stating firmly, 'I'm focusing on me.'
She also added that she might eventually purchase a new home because of her family, as they no longer support her. "Stuck In July," along with her OnlyFans link, but people were more concerned about her X-rated account," she added.
Lil Tay cites Sydney Sweeney and Sabrina Carpenter as her role models
Lil Tay opened up further about her venture into explicit content, revealing that she draws inspiration from actresses Sydney Sweeney and pop star Sabrina Carpenter, whom she praised as empowering, sex-positive figures.
Calling herself their biggest fan, Tay defended both women fiercely, saying anyone who criticises them is simply a "hater" or a "misogynist."
Netizens react to Lil Tay's 9-year-old career planning
As soon as the interview surfaced on the internet, the social media users reacted to the shocking revelations, saying, 'Everyone got scammed for Lil Tay content on OF, but no one's talking about it.'
"The internet is truly a scourge on society," another added.
One expressed, "Jesus Christ since she was nine? What is wrong with her parents?"
