When Lil Tay, whose real name is Claire Eileen Qi Hope, began making content, she was just 10 years old. She was a mini influencer at a time when being an influencer was starting to make content creators wealthy. Flash forward eight years, and Lil Tay turned 18 with big plans for her future on the internet. First up? Starting an OnlyFans account, of course.
To be fair, some creators who make the leap to OnlyFans share content that they wouldn’t normally share on social media, even if it is still tame. Others, of course, use the platform for much more risqué posts. In an Instagram post, Lil Tay claimed she broke records with her fast earnings on OnlyFans. She believes it is just another way to work on her growing net worth.
Lil Tay’s OnlyFans account is allegedly a lot more tame than people think.
On August 3, 2025, Lil Tay shared an Instagram post with what she claimed was a screenshot of her OnlyFans earnings after just three hours on the platform. In the screenshot of her earnings, from subscriptions, tips, and messages, Lil Tay seemingly showed that she earned more than $1 million after being on OnlyFans for just a few hours. If the numbers are correct, it means Lil Tay could make a killing if she continues to churn out content for her OnlyFans audience.
According to Billboard, Lil Tay isn’t wrong about breaking an OnlyFans record. That is, if her numbers are legitimate. Billboard reported that, before Lil Tay joined OnlyFans, Danielle Bregoli, known as rapper Bhad Bhabie, earned $1 million in her first six hours after she joined following her 18th birthday.
It looks like Lil Tay surpassed that in her first three hours. But according to those who were quick to check out Lil Tay’s OnlyFans, it may not be the spicy feed others are hoping for.
Some users on X (formerly Twitter) have shared posts about Lil Tay’s OnlyFans being content that she might have posted on Instagram, too. That is, content that is not as X-rated as Lil Tay might have her fans and followers believe.
“Finding out the Lil Tay OnlyFans is just Insta pics,” one fan posted on X. “Oh Tay the genius you are.”
Someone else posted, “Lil tay is 100% trolling y’all, I hope she’ll expose those who bought her OF.”
Others claimed under that post that alleged “leaks” prove otherwise. But the supposed leaks from Lil Tay’s OnlyFans account have not been proven. And even if her posts are essentially Instagram photos or videos, if she is pulling in seven figures from the platform, none of that really matters anyway.
After Lil Tay shared posts on Instagram promoting her OnlyFans content, many of the comments from her followers criticized those who were quick to subscribe to her adult content. Some claimed that they had essentially watched Lil Tay grow up on social media and that it was inappropriate to want to see her in more adult situations, even if she is now legally an adult. Others criticized Lil Tay herself. For the most part, though, she seems unbothered. As a top newbie OnlyFans earner, can you really blame her?
