Is Lil Tay In Incognito Mode?
On Wednesday (Sept. 27), Splash News photographers spotted the person believed to be Lil Tay at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX).
The video shows the figure wearing an all-black outfit, complete with a hoodie, face mask, and sunglasses.
As the person alleged to be Lil Tay is questioned about some of the recent drama she’s faced, she remains silent while walking to a waiting car.
In addition to personal security, the Daily Mail reports that the woman alleged to be Lil Tay appeared to be accompanied by her brother — Jason Tian — and mother, Angela Tian.

The Teen Recently Blasted Her “Abusive” Father Online
This update comes just one day after Lil Tay shared an Instagram Story accusing her father, Christopher J. Hope, of being “abusive” and setting the death hoax into motion.
Above a photo of her dad, Lil Tay wrote, “My abusive racist misogynistic woman beating father faked my death.”
However, Christopher Hope pushed back against the allegation. According to TMZ, Hope declared, “The person who is responsible for that Instagram post, as well as anyone repeating the completely false and libelous accusation within it, are virtually certain to become defendants in a defamation lawsuit.”
He went on to call the entire situation “100% false” and “absurd.”
“Everything stated is 100% false, and I trust that this should be obvious to anyone who knows me or the long history of absurd and untrue statements made by the various people who have controlled the Instagram account.”
As The Shade Room reported, a statement previously posted to Lil Tay’s Instagram declared the teen had unexpectedly passed away. A subsequent statement contradicted this claim and alleged that her account had been hacked.
Following this development, family attorneys representing the teen noted that her dad owes $275K in child support.
