A video has just been leaked on Twitter, showing Instagram celebrity "Lil Tay" getting coached on what she should be saying by her brother, Rycie. In the outtakes video released by hackers @vek and @lilclout (Lil Clout reached out on Instagram to say that he didn't hack Lil Tay's account. He edited a video of hers and released the unfortunate outtakes.) and posted by internet drama-monger Keemstar, Rycie appears to feed lines directly to Lil Tay. "Say 'you broke ass bitch, you out here and trying to be like me," he says as Lil Tay stares off into the distance. "You need to be more ignorant," he tells her, before she jumps back into character.
In another clip, Lil Tay screams, "Mommy stop, I was filming." The context for this situation isn't available, so it's unclear what exactly happened.

One of the Twitter replies in the thread was by YouTuber @NathanGambleNG, who paints Rycie as desperate for viral fame. "He's literally spamming comments sections to get subscribers," Nathan said. Spamming your URL to a Soundcloud, YouTube account, or Twitter mentions tends to annoy viewers more than attract attention. Rycie has deleted all the videos on his account expect one seven-second clip that says "I did nothing wrong, they're all lying."
The (alleged) nine-year-old went viral on Instagram in early 2018, bragging about her riches, using profane language and posing with large amounts of money. If you haven't followed Instagram drama over the last few months, you might have missed her "beefing" with other child celebrities or integrating herself into the rap community. Her braggadocious behavior of "flexing" on Ferraris or dropping "racks" on fancy chains has made her a viral anomaly.
Lil Tay's mother, Angela Tian, left her real estate job after it became clear she was using her employer's cars and money to jumpstart the preteen's career. According to Canadian News site Global, her boss found out she was using his Mercedes 500 SL in raunchy videos without permission. The Vancouver real estate agent left Pacific West Realty after six months with the company.
