Her sister is the actress and singer Miranda Cosgrove, 24, a former child actor who played the class swot in School Of Rock.

No one quite knows Tays real name, but she has stated that she used to live in Atlanta, Georgia, and was broke as f*** three years ago.

Reflecting on her transformation, she added: But one day I woke up and I said I to myself aint going to be broke no more. So I got up and worked hard, started moving bricks and now we be living in the hills.

Aside from her soulful reflections on her youth, shes also known for her foul-mouthed online posts on Instagram.

She regularly comes out with statements like: Im a 9 year old millionaire and I be smoking dope, b****. Shut your mouth before I smack you, auntie.

One of her videos shows her jumping in a flash sports car, as she says: This s*** cost me two hundred thousand! Im only nine years old I aint got no license but I still drive this sports car, b****. Your favorite rapper aint even doing it like Lil Tay.

She says her favourite track is Gucci Gang by Lil Pump, and in the near future shell appear in her first music video with Chief Keef, as advertised on her Instagram.

On April 16, 2018, Tay was filmed getting involved in (or at least witnessing) a fight between Bhad Barbie and Woah Vicky.

Later she responded to the fight by attacking Bhad Barbie online, writing: How a girl gone talk bout Gucci flip flops when u only can afford tank tops/Btw you look like a rat with draw one eyebrows…(sic)

Tf happens to ur eye brows/Ima smack yo mama when I see her…. Broke ass b****,you cant fight for s*** and you a b****…

F*** Bhad Bhabie, she tryna act all cool with her bodyguard, but she cant do s***. She cant even punch right, cause she a p****.

Tay happened to side with Woah Vicky because she was part of her entourage at Coachella, the US music festival, though she did not perform.

Some people have spotted that among Tays team are the same men who are always filming her.

Theyre concerned she is being forced into doing all the internet-worthy things she gets up to.

Her sister Miranda was discovered by a talent agent from Hollywood at the tender age of three, so the family are used to producing young superstars.
