An influencer has sparked controversy by asserting that working a conventional 9 to 5 job makes someone a ‘failure’ in a provocative message directed at women over the age of 25.
Lil Tay, who gained online notoriety as a child, has launched an OnlyFans account following her 18th birthday on July 29.
Just days later, on August 3, she shared the news of her presence on the adult platform with her 2.3 million followers and showcased a screenshot indicating earnings of $1,024,298.09 within mere hours.
“One million dollars in a couple hours. I’m still the youngest one doing it for all the grown ass haters who’ve been hating since I was nine years old, look at me now,” the teen told her fans.
With the post reading: “Not bad for 3 hours. We broke the f**k out of that OnlyFans record.”
Following her significant financial achievement, she is now urging others to pursue similar paths.
Posting on Instagram, she stated: “If you’re over the age of 25 and you’re still working in nine to five… you are a failure. Like by then you should’ve already made your bag – and ladies, every single one of you should drop the link like me. Like, just literally just make your bag.
“Who gives a f*ck what anybody thinks? Screw your family, my family kick me out. I got disowned. They don’t talk to me anymore. They don’t f*ck with me. But who gives a sh*t? I can literally buy their whole life if I wanted to. I’m good.
“Also, f*ck education, ’cause Harvard was never gonna help me make eight figures. That’s why I dropped out of it, and I dropped the link instead.”
Her remarks have incited anger across social media platforms, with one user commenting: “If you’re 18 and your first thought is to open an OF…someone failed YOU in life.”
Another user expressed skepticism: “So being a doctor means I’ll be a failure?”
A different commenter added: “Sorry girl but I’m going to college.”
Additionally, some users pointed out that she has been engaging in ‘rage-baiting,’ a tactic where inflammatory content is used to provoke strong emotional reactions and boost online engagement.
“Y’all forgot lil tay was ragebaiting since she was young,” one user remarked.
Another noted: “You was just ten years old.”
