While the investigation continues, Lil Tay’s father, Chris Hope, has chosen not to comment on the situation.

In 2021, Lil Tay’s brother, Jason, set up a GoFundMe campaign, alleging that their father was attempting to control her finances and subjecting her to physical abuse. The fundraiser also shed light on her battle with depression.
As the world mourns the loss of Lil Tay, her impact on social media and the circumstances surrounding her passing continue to be a subject of discussion and investigation.
