Lil Tay was the talk of the Internet when she burst onto the scene in 2018 alongside fellow social media star Woah Vicky. Tay became amassed a huge following for her foul-mouthed rants and quickly rose to over 1.5 million followers on Instagram.

It was then exposed that Lil Tay's videos and lifestyle was set up by her mother, Angela Tia, a successful real estate agent in Vancouver who was using her boss' cars and homes as props in her daughter's videos.

Lil Tay's father soon entered the public picture and made it clear that he wanted his daughter to have a normal life.

"I do regret not being able to fight past the other people in her life, who did not want me to be a part of her life, in the last while," Christopher Hope told The Blast back in 2019 after making a move for custody of Lil Tay.

He added, "I felt I had to step in this year because I felt it was my responsibility to try to keep her safe and keep her future from being ruined by people who just want to make money from her."

Lil Tay left social media for good shortly after the murder of XXXTentacion, who was a friend of the young IG star.

"X you truly changed me ❤️ you were there for me when everyone wanted me to fail, you were there to give me advice, you were there," Tay wrote on Instagram after the rapper was killed in Florida.

Tay added, "As a father figure, when I don’t have one, you were here, FaceTiming me and calling me for hours when I’m down."
