Who Is Lil Tay And Why Is Her OnlyFans Controversial?

Lil Tay is an influencer, musician and contentious internet figure. The Canadian-American influencer originally went viral in 2017 and 2018 after videos of her flexing "her" wealth blew up online. Since then, she's gone viral numerous times, including for allegations of exploitation by her father, a death hoax, the release of her song "SUCKER 4 GREEN" and more.

All of this has resulted in millions of followers across sites like TikTok and Instagram, where she continues to post content.

In the latter half of July 2025, Lil Tay started posting videos claiming that she was dropping "the link" on her 18th birthday. In the videos, she does not specify what exactly "the link" is, leaving many to assume that she was talking about an OnlyFans link. Others hypothesized she was dropping a song.

Then, on August 3rd, a few days after her 18th birthday, she launched her OnlyFans account.

Did Lil Tay Really Make Over A Million Dollars In Three Hours On OnlyFans?

Shortly after the launch of her OnlyFans account in early August 2025, Lil Tay posted a screenshot on her social media accounts. The screenshot purportedly shows her earnings on OnlyFans.

If the screenshot is to be believed, it claims that Lil Tay made over a million dollars in her first three hours on the platform, suggesting a lot of people were eagerly waiting for it to drop.

While Lil Tay is celebrating the massive earnings, others are concerned. People are expressing disgust over just how many people were seemingly waiting for her to turn 18 and drop the link.

These subscribers are being accused of preying on the young girl by waiting for the account to release. Some are also suggesting that the launch of the OnlyFans is just another example of Lil Tay's management exploiting her for profit.
