Lil Tay, who was reported dead a month earlier only to claim her father had faked her passing, has returned to social media with new music.
A month after the rapper and influencer’s family announced her death in a post on Instagram — which was deleted the following day — Lil Tay shared a music video for her new song “Sucker 4 Green.”
In the music video, the 14-year-old rapper, whose real name is Claire Hope, could be seen clad in matching yellow top and short skirt, strutting in front of several luxury cars — a nod to her viral TikTok videos in which she flaunted buying expensive cars at a young age.
In other sequences, she was seen singing while wearing an orange crop top and short shorts inside a mansion. She performed the money sliding gesture while dancing in front of other dressed dancers throughout the chorus.
A press release from Lil Tay’s representatives said, “Lil Tay is back, not only to social media but with a big single and music video.”
Along with the music video, her representatives also released a statement detailing the rapper’s video on Instagram LIVE in which she told her fans, “I’m back. I’m exposing everyone. I’ve been waiting for this moment for years, studying my own craft and perfecting it along the way….”
She first rose to fame in 2018 at the age of 9 thanks to her sensationalized Instagram videos, which showed her rapping, yelling expletives and showing off her lavish lifestyle.
Not long after her meteoric rise, however, Tay seemingly disappeared from the internet, deleting her Instagram account and going silent on the millions of fans she had accumulated on the app.
