Father of Lil Tay Reacts as She Joins OnlyFans & Earn $1M in 3 Hours

“Wow, did that really just happen?” Lil Tay—yes, the same kid who went viral a few years back as a child influencer—just turned 18, and within three hours of launching her OnlyFans, she claims to have earned over $1 million. It’s both jaw-dropping and, honestly, kind of hard to wrap your head around.

She went full speed ahead. According to her own posts, Lil Tay raked in $1,024,298.09 in just three hours. That’s a breakdown of $511,003 from subscriptions, $486,558 from private messages, and $26,736 in tips. She even made a celebratory post on Instagram and X, writing:

“$1M in 3 hours 🤩 we broke the fuck out of that onlyfans record 🥰🥰🥰”

She’s also proclaimed herself the “youngest girl on OnlyFans”, updating her bio to mark the moment

Father Responds: “She is old enough”

Her dad, Chris Hope, who’s an attorney, shared with TMZ that he won’t be monitoring her OnlyFans Video. He acknowledged she’s an adult now and takes her own descision. He said he still supports her—“some people won’t approve, but I just love her” seems to really shine through.

From Child Star to Controversy

If you're following Lil Tay (her real name is Claire Eileen Qi Hope- born July 29, 2007) you may already know that she gained notoriety as a child in 2018, and was christened the "youngest flexer of the century" for her flashy videos, boastful raps an controversy before her whole family legal battles, a shocking death hoax in 2023- turned out to be a hack- and later an open heart surgery in 2024.

So in seeing her bounce back in her... let's just say earnest adult way is both intriguing, and uncomfortable.

The video, as cringy as it is, has no doubt started to generate interest in her online persona that was controversial before. The video has not only shocked overnight fans, but now Lil Tay is back in the conversations online and she has brought back the ridiculousness that has followed her online persona for her entire career.

How Lil Tay Reacts Online

And she's not shying away from the drama. On Instagram she posts the earnings screenshot and on X she writes:

"Not bad for 3 hours we broke the fuck out of that OnlyFans record." 

Days before her birthday, she teased the launch on TikTok, stating, "Every girl should have an OnlyFans. It empowers women. I'm dropping mine on my 18th birthday." She even claimed that she had film content ready one minute past midnight after she turned legal.

OnlyFans Videos Records & Age Checks

It has happened before—for example, Bhad Bhabie made $1 million in the first six hours of her OnlyFans in 2020.  Certainly, OnlyFans confirms they conduct age-verification checks, so theoretically, everything checked out. However, given the backdrop of controversy surrounding her surge to fame—and the fact there have been questions about whether her age was adequately disclosed at all—the reaction online has been lively.

Public Reaction in Her Own Words

A user @stoppfeenin commented on Lil Tay's Tweet:

"Remove her account @OnlyFans she was allegedly 9 years old in 2018"

If I'm going to be honest, it does sadden me a little seeing someone who was once a child go through so much public stuff and then immediately step into this adult narrative, just after turning 18. Just the concept of it being so fast—three hours and a million dollars, that's insane. The reaction from her dad, "I love her; she's an adult," is also striking to me. There is a certain brand of love—pure and totally sincere—that is walking a tightrope somewhere between pride and worry.
