Lil Tay’s Instagram returns briefly, only to warn fans that she has been taken by her ‘abusive’ father

Some of these claims are really intense...

Lil Tay, the kid Instagram sensation that could flex harder than most adults, worried fans when she disappeared from social media altogether in June.

A month after deleting her account, a cryptic “help me” message was posted on her account.

Since then, there’s been nothing but silence… however, over the weekend her account was rebooted to worry fans even further, as allegations about her father were posted.

The person posting claimed to have worked with the nine-year-old rapper, posted a series of revealing statements on the account. The person claimed that Tay had gone to live with her estranged father Christopher J. Hope in Canda in June, referring to him as “abusive”. He allegedly banned her from social media, so she wouldn’t “expose the truth” about him. 

The worrying posts have since been completely wiped from her Instagram page, but that doesn’t make them any less concerning.

“For the past few months, he has been trying to destroy Tay and her mother’s life for his own financial gain,” the person wrote. “Christopher John Hope is trying to grab her fame, money and ultimately take Tay away from her mother who has loved and cared for Tay all her life, something Christopher John Hope has never done.”

The post also claims that Tay’s dad had not been in her life for “years” before the court order, where Christopher threatened to have Tay’s mother arrested and Tay put in foster care if they did not comply.

Another post showed Tay wiping tears from her face the day she was taken from her mother and ordered to live with her dad. “This was Tay’s first encounter with Christopher in a very long time,” the post read. “It was very difficult for her to stand face to face with the person that abused her for many years, but she had no other choice.”

All that now remains on Lil Tay’s Instagram page is, “#FREELILTAY” and “#MakeTheInternetGreatAgain,” in her bio.

After the allegations were thrown toward Christopher, he has taken quick action against them, sending a cease and desist to Instagram, according to The Blast

In the cease and desist, Christopher accuses Lil Tay’s brother, Jason Tian, for taking control over her social media accounts and “negligently allowed the account to be used by third parties, to conduct criminal extortion and harassment.”

He father also denied the allegations made against him, calling them “outrageously defamatory.”

WHAT a mess!
