Get ready for some strong opinions! At just 18 years old, internet personality Lil Tay is making waves again, this time by targeting traditional career paths. In a recent, fiery Instagram video, she declared that anyone over 25 working a 9-to-5 job is essentially a failure.
The “Failure” of the 9-to-5
Lil Tay’s message was blunt: “If you’re over the age of 25 and you’re still working a 9 to 5, you are a failure,” she stated on Saturday, August 16th. Her reasoning? By that age, she believes people should have already secured significant financial success. She went on to encourage women specifically to embrace platforms like OnlyFans, urging them to “just make your bag” regardless of external opinions.
This stance comes after Lil Tay herself joined OnlyFans on her 18th birthday, a decision that reportedly led to her being cut off by her family. “They don’t talk to me anymore. They don’t f**k with me,” she admitted, but quickly added, “I can literally buy their whole life if I wanted to. I’m good.”
Education vs. Earning Potential
Lil Tay also expressed skepticism about the value of formal education in achieving significant wealth. She specifically mentioned dropping out of Harvard, claiming it would never have helped her earn eight figures. Instead, she doubled down on her chosen path, stating, “I dropped the link instead.”
Her accompanying Instagram caption reinforced this message: “EVERY girl should drop a link.” Lil Tay claims her OnlyFans launch was incredibly successful, reportedly earning over $1 million in its first day through subscriptions, tips, and messages.
Family’s Perspective
Her father, Chris Hope, has commented on her adult decisions, telling TMZ that she is now free to make her own choices and that he’s confident in her future success, whatever path she chooses.
