Lil Tay is back — and this time, she’s making headlines for stepping into the adult content world. The viral sensation, once known as the “youngest flexer of the century,” has officially launched an OnlyFans account just days after turning 18, stirring up both hype and controversy online.
Turns 18 and Drops Link Within Minutes
On August 2, Lil Tay told her TikTok followers she started filming adult content just one minute after midnight on her birthday, which was July 29.
“The night of my 18th birthday, one minute past midnight, I got to work,” she said during a TikTok Live session. “I filmed all the content and it’s finally coming out tomorrow.”
According to Tay, this release is for the fans who have been waiting since “like, 2023,” many of whom preordered in advance. “It’s coming. It’s finally here,” she added.
Rejecting Multi-Million Dollar Offers from Agencies
Lil Tay also revealed that adult entertainment companies had been chasing her before she even turned 18, eager to sign her for her OnlyFans debut. But she turned down the offers — including ones worth up to $40 million — claiming she’s better off handling it herself.

“Why would I need you, though? I am the bag,” she said boldly. “Don’t need your petty 30 to 40 mil. Like, come on.”
When someone in the comments questioned whether joining OnlyFans might ruin her life, Tay fired back with confidence. “I don’t think 50 mil is going to ruin my life,” she replied.
Brother Appears in Video, Seemingly Upset
During the TikTok Live, Tay’s brother, Jason Tian, made an appearance and appeared visibly concerned. He’s previously described himself as her manager and was seen coaching her during the early days of her online fame. His reaction this time suggests some tension behind the scenes over her decision.
Lil Tay’s Controversial Comeback
Tay, who first went viral as a flashy, foul-mouthed pre-teen showing off luxury items, has had a rocky and unpredictable career. She was at the center of a bizarre death hoax in 2023 that turned out to be false — possibly a PR stunt to promote a crypto project tied to her name.
Last September, she announced that she had undergone successful open-heart surgery after being diagnosed with a heart tumor.
And earlier this year in 2025, Lil Tay made headlines again after clashing with fellow viral star Bhad Bhabie. The drama began when Bhad Bhabie laughed at one of Tay’s posts on X (formerly Twitter), prompting Tay to unleash a brutal clapback.
“Bhad Bhabie, you clout-chasing, twig-ass bitch,” Tay ranted in a video. “You’re still the clout-chasing ass bitch who’s been obsessed with me since I was 9 years old.”
She didn’t stop there. “You’re a dumb ass with a bunch of botched surgery when, instead, what you should have been trying to fix was your brain and your self-esteem.”
What’s Next for Lil Tay?
Whether people love her or hate her, Lil Tay clearly knows how to get the internet talking. With her new adult content venture and fierce independence, she’s positioning herself as her own brand, refusing to be managed by anyone else — not even multimillion-dollar studios.
Only time will tell how this bold move shapes her next chapter. One thing’s for sure: Lil Tay is making sure the spotlight stays right where she wants it — on her.
