Recently, Lil Tay teased the launch of an OnlyFans account just before her 18th birthday, sparking controversy. Some fans believed — and hoped — that she was merely trolling. But as time has gone on, her increasingly controversial posts have left her followers questioning, “What is happening?”
Who is Lil Tay?
Lil Tay is an internet personality and musician who started posting content when she was 10 years old. At the time, she rapped and posted content about being super wealthy. Given that she was posting about being wealthy when she was just a child, some fans assumed she was joking when she said she planned on launching an OnlyFans as soon as she turned 18. However, she really did launch an OnlyFans page and has been promoting it on Instagram.
Some of her videos have sparked backlash.
While some fans appreciate Lil Tay’s sense of humor, others have accused her of taking things too far at times. In one Instagram video, she joked about being homeless. In another, she said women over the age of 25 who work nine-to-fives should be embarrassed.
Recently, she has posted about Diddy and baby oil.
Needless to say, it didn’t land well. Her Sean “Diddy” Combs jokes started on Wednesday, August 20, 2025, when she shared a video that showed her holding two bottles of baby oil. In case the Diddy reference was not immediately obvious, she also included an image of Diddy in the background. She included the song “Every Breath You Take” by The Police. The reference to Diddy’s “freak offs” was captioned with, “Should I do it? 🤔”
Reacting to the video, fans expressed concern for Lil Tay while also letting her know that the content wasn’t funny at all. “What an insult to his victims,” one critic wrote. Another person said, “That is not even a little bit funny,” while someone else added that the video “might be the last straw.”
The criticism didn’t stop her.
Lil Tay continued to post more references to Diddy. One clip that showed her holding bottles of baby oil included audio that said, “Ain’t no party like a Diddy party.” In response, one person wrote, “The fact that you think this funny … why didn’t we cancel her ?” As the videos continued, Lil Tay received more comments like, “WTH ARE YOU DOING TAY. IT’S NOT FUNNY. STOP DOING THIS FOR THE CONTENT” and “Who else hopes this is all a big prank?”
On August 23, she posted an update, writing, “LIL TAY OILED UP TAPES JUST DROPPED.” Clearly upset that the content was real and not an elaborate prank, one of her followers wrote, “Girl noooooo 😢.” Another person simply said, “This is so wrong on a thousand levels.”
