On July 29, shortly after midnight on her 18th birthday, Lil Tay launched her OnlyFans account. The next day, she took to Instagram, where she has 5.8 million followers, to announce the shocking figure: "$1M in 3 hours 🤩," she wrote. "We broke the f*ck out of that OnlyFans record 🥰."
She also posted a video on August 3 with what appeared to be a screenshot of her platform earnings. The image earned a whopping $1,024,298.09 in subscriptions, tips, and direct messages. "Not bad for 3 hours," the post stated. "Look at me now."

But while Tay was celebrating what she referred to as a "milestone," many people raised their eyebrows.
How did the internet react to her claim?
The reactions came quickly, and they were not all positive. Critics online questioned the figures' authenticity, claiming they were exaggerated for publicity purposes. Some were taken aback by the idea of someone launching adult content just minutes into legal adulthood.
"Sold her soul the second she turned 18," one commenter wrote. Another said, "You could have just made music. "This is ridiculous."

Some drew parallels with rapper Bhad Bhabie, who opened her own OnlyFans account shortly after turning 18 and made similar earnings claims. Lil Tay and Bhad Bhabie have a public feud, with Tay criticizing her in previous posts. The comparison only fueled the fire, with users accusing Tay of emulating her rival for shock value.
Who is Lil Tay?
Lil Tay first became well-known on the internet in 2018 after claiming to be nine years old and calling herself the 'youngest flexer of the century' in videos that boasted about her alleged wealth.
For instance, in one earlier video, she claimed to be the owner of a red Mercedes Benz despite having feet too short to reach the accelerators. She wrote, "Your favorite rapper isn't doing it like Lil Tay."
Now 18, it appears she is doubling down on her brand of shock and spectacle but with far more serious consequences. Lil Tay's first adult move, which included explicit content and eye-popping income claims, shifted the conversation from playful exaggeration to questions about exploitation, digital fame, and what society celebrates in the name of influence, as per a report.
Whether or not the $1 million figure holds up, one thing is certain that Lil Tay still knows how to command attention and controversy.
