Lil Tay’s Social Media Addresses The Previous Death Hoax

A follow up message shared on Tay’s account addressed social media mention of the 2023 death hoax involving Tay. As The Shade Room previously reported, social media users initially appeared skeptical about the recent health updates regarding Tay due to the previous hoax.

…FOR THE RECORD: This has been confirmed before, but many people are spreading misinformation. Last year, Tay’s misogynistic father Christopher John Hope, was the person who hacked into her Instagram account and faked her death as a last attempt to ruin her reputation after losing the court battle over her career and custody,” the message wrote. “Tay and her mother have nothing to do with him.”

Subsequently, social media users entered The Shade Room’s comment section to react to the hospital footage.

Instagram user @iamdominiquelee wrote, “Prayers if this is real. Can’t blame us for making jokes and questioning the validity of this”

While Instagram user @isadelois added, “Im not joking on anyone’s health… Im glad she is well and wish her a full recovery.”

Instagram user @yunglittlefoot wrote, “I need to see video of the Dr doing the surgery cause I still don’t believe it I got trust issues”

While Instagram user @jaymeeann_ added, “I think a lot of people forget she is a CHILD under her parents rules. Prayers for that baby girl, either way.🙏”
