Angela told the outlet that she and her children have been living “in a constant state of stress” because of the ongoing custody battle. She also slammed Christopher’s “disgusting financial motivation” for trying to profit from their daughter’s rise to fame.

Although Lil Tay now claims that his father created the death hoax, his former social media manager spoke to the Daily Mail shortly after the incident, stating that he believed either he or his brother had created a false statement to revive his career.
“When I learned about Lil Tay’s claims about his well-being, I was relieved that he was safe. However, I believe the reported hacking incident may not have happened,” he wrote to the outlet.
“My rationale for this perspective is two-fold: first, the recovery of compromised accounts on platforms like Meta/Instagram typically does not require a 24-hour period,” he added, although Meta later confirmed that his account had indeed been hacked.
“Secondly, the actions of Lil Tay’s brother, who is known for his tendency to commit extreme acts, led me to hypothesize an alternative motive behind this incident,” he continued.

“At the same time, if the underlying motive is indeed to rekindle Lil Tay’s prominence in the public sphere, I think that such actions show a certain level of irresponsibility,” added Tsang. “It is important to consider the potential impact of using such tactics, particularly given their potential impact on wider audience perceptions and sentiment.”
Many questioned why his brother Jason did not denounce the fake death statement after it was posted. So far, Jason has not kept quiet about the incident.

Update: More than an hour after Lil Tay posted on Instagram, Christopher Hope told TMZ that he did not create the Instagram death hoax. “The person responsible for the Instagram post, as well as anyone repeating the completely false and libelous allegations in it, will almost certainly be the defendant in a defamation lawsuit,” he said.
“Everything stated is 100% false, and I believe that this should be clear to anyone who knows me or the long history of ridiculous and untrue statements made by various people who have taken control of Instagram accounts,” he added.
