She's alive! Lil Tay reveals she and her brother are not dead

Hmm. Lil Tay claims that her Instagram account was compromised and used to spread “jarring misinformation” about her and her brother’s death.

“I want to make it clear that my brother and I are safe and alive, but I’m completely heartbroken, and struggling to even find the right words to say. It’s been a very traumatizing 24 hours,” she told TMZ on Thursday, August 10. “All day yesterday, I was bombarded with endless heartbreaking and tearful phone calls from loved ones all while trying to sort out this mess.”

Lil Tay slammed the “jarring misinformation” that originated online, adding, “My Instagram account was compromised by a 3rd party and used to spread jarring misinformation and rumors regarding me, to the point that even my name was wrong. My legal name is Tay Tian, not ‘Claire Hope.’”

The rapper’s clarification comes one day after an announcement — seemingly shared on behalf of her family — went up on her Instagram.

The post alleged that “the circumstances surrounding Claire and her brother’s passing” were still under investigation. The Instagram post has since been deleted.
