In the latest chapter of influencer feuds, Sophie Rain has come out swinging, verbally, at least, against Lil Tay's $60 million boxing challenge.
The 20-year-old creator accused the teen rapper of 'falling off' and fabricating drama just to stay in the spotlight, turning what could have been a serious challenge into a viral spectacle.
Sophie Rain Fires Back At Lil Tay
The feud ignited when Lil Tay, 18, took to Instagram with a flashy offer: a $60 million boxing match against Rain.
Framing it as a chance for Rain to 'meet her idol,' Tay promised it would be 'more money than you've ever made,' while mocking Rain's OnlyFans career as 'crusty' and 'boomer-a**.'
Rain, founder of the Bop House creator collective, dismissed the proposal outright.
Posting tongue-in-cheek TikTok clips, she appeared unfazed. One video showed her lounging with the caption, 'me coming out of retirement after hearing someone is claiming to make more than me.' Another quipped, 'Why is some child I was a fan of trying to beef with me for clout…'
Speaking to The Blast, Rain didn't hold back. She said, 'Lil Tay's been falling off for years, now she's making up fake drama just to stay relevant. It's giving desperation. If you have to invent beef to get views, maybe it's time to log off.'
Rain also threw shade at the legitimacy of Lil Tay's challenge, pointing out, 'Lil Tay doesn't have $60m, she doesn't even have $6m, she's a joke.'
Rain On Why She's Not Taking The Fight
The tension seemed to stem from a playful Bop House TikTok suggesting Tay had auditioned for the group.
Tay quickly shot back with an Instagram video, denying the claim and insulting the collective as a 'rented retirement home' for 'washed-up' creators.
As a self-described Christian content creator, Sophie Rain stressed she had no interest in turning the back-and-forth into a manufactured spectacle.
'I don't need $60 million to prove anything to someone who's been irrelevant since middle school,' she said. 'Calling me out won't bring her clout back. That ship sailed a long time ago.'
Why Sophie Rain Says She's Staying Focused
While Tay's offer fueled online chatter, many fans rallied behind Rain for sidestepping the bait.
One supporter commented, 'At least you waited to be old enough to start [OnlyFans],' referencing Rain's decision to launch her account after turning 18.
Meanwhile, Rain says she's keeping her priorities straight.
'I built my platform on consistency and hard work, not manufactured internet theatrics,' she explained. 'The only ring I'm interested in is the one that pays me to work, not play pretend.'
As the drama continues to ripple across social media, Rain maintains her stance of not trading punches in a boxing ring, digital or otherwise, just to fuel someone else's comeback tour.
Sophie Rain Warns The Spotlight Comes With A Cost
This is not the first time Rain is talking about Lil Tay. Only last week, she shared her thoughts on Tay following the launch of the latter's account soon after turning 18.
Tay earned over $1,024,298 within hours of opening the account, drawing praise and concern, especially from Rain, who offered a candid reality check.
"I'm proud of her, but I hope she's ready for the mental strain it causes at such a young age. I talked to her and gave her advice, and she's really young," Rain told The Blast.
She admitted she didn't sugarcoat her message, noting, 'This industry doesn't come with a warning label. It looks glamorous, but it's not for the faint of heart.'
Drawing from her own experiences, Rain explained, 'I've been down this road. The fame, the fast money, the constant judgment—it changes you. I just hope she has a strong support system.' She recalled warning Tay, 'You'll make money, sure—but at what cost if you're not ready?'
Rain also highlighted the unseen pressures, noting, 'Everyone sees the million-dollar screenshot. No one sees the anxiety, the pressure, the hate DMs at 3 a.m. That's the reality I wanted her to understand.'
Mental Health Support Is Critical In The Adult Industry
Sophie Rain stressed that while the money is enticing, the emotional toll is often overlooked.
'This industry isn't designed to protect you. You have to protect yourself. And at 18, you're still learning how,' she said.
Her comments echoed growing concerns among creators about the lack of safeguards for new legal adults entering adult platforms.
While some fans celebrated Tay's milestone, Rain emphasized the bigger picture. She said, 'It's not about the money—it's about being ready to handle what comes with it. And most people aren't, not at that age.'
