<p>Lil Tay is clearing the air regarding a recent hoax that led fans to falsely believe she and her brother, Jason Tian, were deceased. Additionally, the teenager is addressing her current relationship with her father, Chris Hope. As <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/woman-alleged-lil-tay-public-first-time-death/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Shade Room</a> previously reported, in September, the rapper was spotted out for the time since the viral death hoax took place in August.</p>
<h5 style="text-align: center;">RELATED: <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/woman-alleged-lil-tay-public-first-time-death/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">UPDATE: Woman Alleged To Be Lil Tay Spotted In Public For First Time Since Death Hoax</a></h5>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">Lil Tay Takes To Instagram Live To Address The Death Hoax &; Relationship With Her Father</h3>
<p>Over the weekend, Lil Tay took to Instagram Live to share an update with her fans. The teenager began by telling viewers that &#8220;it&#8217;s been five years&#8221; and they&#8217;re &#8220;still broke.&#8221;</p>
<p>Afterward, Tay explained that she &#8220;has a lot of s** to say.&#8221; The video then cuts to Tay holding a sign that read, &#8220;Clearing up rumors.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;As you know, there&#8217;s a lot of s**t that happened when I was famous,&#8221; Tay began. &#8220;And a lot of that involved the media and the press slandering the f**k out of my family — me and my mom.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Tay explained that her mother was not &#8220;fired&#8221; from her real estate position. Her mother &#8220;resigned&#8221;; however, the company was allegedly still charging her mother &#8220;thousands of dollars&#8221; in &#8220;desk fees.&#8221; Tay explained that her mother ultimately sued the real estate company and won.</p>
<p>As the live stream continued, the rapper broached the suspect of &#8220;random&#8230; frauds&#8221; who have &#8220;claimed&#8221; to be her manager. However, she has &#8220;never had a manager.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;All of those people are con artists — they&#8217;re exploiting my name for clout and for industry credit&#8230;&#8221; she continued.</p></blockquote>
<p>Tay then alleged that her father, Chris Hope, was behind &#8220;the death hoax.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;He was trying to sabotage me,&#8221; Tay explained. &#8220;Meanwhile, he was working with this other con artist that was claiming to be my manager and they had a crypto coin together. Their plan was to fake my death and then promote the crypto coin — which, by the way, the &#8216;manager&#8217; admitted to. He said he&#8217;d been working on the crypto coin for months. These people are frauds.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>The rapper continued by explaining that &#8220;this proves how much the press&#8230; did not do any fact-checking.&#8221; Tay seemingly referred to reports published in August citing her &#8220;<a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/lil-tays-ex-manager-cant-definitively-confirm-her-reported-death/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">former manager Harry Tsang</a>&#8221; and other <a href="https://pagesix.com/2023/08/09/lil-tays-alleged-former-manager-questions-validity-of-death-announcement/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">unnamed persons</a>.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;As long as you claimed to be my manager, they would just take your word for it,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;As long as anyone claimed that my mom got fired from her job&#8230; they would just report on it, even though it&#8217;s not true.&#8221;</p></blockquote>

<p>In a separate video obtained by <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2023/09/30/lil-tay-live-explain-absence-slam-dad-comeback/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TMZ</a>, Lil Tay also alleged that she and her mother have been &#8220;abused&#8221; by her &#8220;absentee&#8221; father, Chris Hope.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;He is not the good guy here; he wanted control over my career and my money and me and my family had to go through even more years of abuse through the court system because of him,&#8221; Tay explained.</p></blockquote>
<p>As the rapper continued, she explained that she and her family won the legal proceedings and are &#8220;free now.&#8221;</p>
