Star and brother’s ‘sudden’ death under investigation

Social media star Lil Tay, née Claire Eileen Qi Hope, has reportedly died at age 14.

Representatives for the rapping teen, who crowned herself “the youngest flexer of the century,” announced her death and the death of her brother Wednesday.

Her cause of death has not been publicly revealed.

Reps for Lil Tay did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.

The virally irreverent Gen Zer, who rose to digital fame at age 9 in 2018, was best known for sharing spoof clips of herself holding stacks of cash to her ear on YouTube.

“It is with a heavy heart that we share the devastating news of our beloved Claire’s sudden and tragic passing,” read the statement dedicated to the native Canadian, who relocated to Los Angeles in her rise to cyber superstardom.

“We have no words to express the unbearable loss and indescribable pain,” continued the message.

“This outcome was entirely unexpected, and has left us all in shock.”

The Instagram post went on to reveal that Tay’s brother also died. 

Her late sibling’s identity has not yet been confirmed.

“Her brother’s passing adds an even more unimaginable depth to our grief,” said the online notice. 

“During this time of immense sorrow, we kindly ask for privacy as we grieve this overwhelming loss, as the circumstances surrounding Claire and her brother’s passing are still under investigation,” the spokesperson wrote. 

“Claire will forever remain in our hearts, her absence leaving an irreplaceable void that will be felt by all who knew and loved her.”

Her controversial content, which often came littered with slurs, including the N-word, amassed Lil Tay over 3.3 million Instagram followers.

In 2018, she issued a public apology for her use of derogatory language, saying, “I really apologize to everyone I offended … I’m not racist at all,” during an episode of her short-lived reality series “Life With Lil Tay,” which streamed on the Zeus Network.

In 2021, a GoFundMe page seeking $19,000 was reportedly organized by Tay’s older brother, Jason Tian, who claimed that the then-preteen needed financial support to combat her “abusive” and “absentee” father, Chris Hope, in court.

Fans flooded Lil Tay’s Instagram with condolences upon learning of her death. 

“Rest up … This is tragic,” penned a mourner, punctuating their grief with a broken heart emoji. 

“So heartbreaking,” groaned an equally crushed admirer.

“R.I.P. Angel,” said another. 

Lil Tay’s death trails the loss of fellow young influencer Annabelle Ham, 22, who died after suffering an “epileptic event” in July, and “Bucket List” TikTok star Harrison Gilks, 18, who passed after a long battle with cancer in April.
