Viral internet star **Lil Tay**—once known as the “youngest flexer of the century”—marked her 18th birthday by launching an **OnlyFans account**, claiming she pulled in **over $1 million in gross earnings within just three hours** of going live. The earnings screenshot she shared shows **$1,024,298.09** in income from subscriptions, tips, and messages—a debut she says shattered platform records LADbible covers the jaw-dropping claim and **IndiaTimes confirms it** with early live numbers.
In a live TikTok session, Lil Tay said she started filming adult content **immediately after turning legally an adult**, posting at exactly **12:01 a.m.** on **July 29, 2025**. “This is for everybody that has preordered since, like, 2023. It’s finally here,” she told her 2.3 million followers, and brandished the declaration, “We broke the f*ck out of that OnlyFans record” IndiaTimes relays her bold livestream commentary.
“$1M in a couple hours. I’m still the youngest one doing it.”
LADbible’s follow-up breakdown attributes approximately **$511,000 in subscription revenue**, **$26,700 in tips**, and **nearly $487,000 in paid messages** to her ultra-fast debut, acknowledging criticism over her “disturbing niche” and comparisons to fellow teen star **Bhad Bhabie**—who also earned just over $1M in her first six hours on the platform LADbible number breakdown.
The controversy doesn’t end there. Lil Tay revealed she turned down **multi-million-dollar offers** from adult entertainment agencies—“$30 to $40Ms” to sign with them—but declared, “**I am the bag**. I don’t need you to give me a bag.” She said she preferred full independence over external representation IndiaTimes on deal offers and refusal.
Her older brother and former manager **Jason Tian** briefly appeared during the livestream looking visibly uncomfortable—highlighting long-running family tensions and past allegations of exploitation during her early influencer career IndiaTimes notes his displeasure.
Social media erupted with mixed reactions. Many criticized fans who waited for minutes after midnight to subscribe, calling it predatory. Others applauded her business savvy and claimed empowerment via financial independence. One writer observed: “That many men were waiting for you to turn 18 just to sub… y’all need help fr” Tyla on public response.
Online commentary also questioned the veracity of the earnings screenshot. **KnowYourMeme** flagged it as potentially misleading—suggesting it may be exaggerated for viral attention, though Lil Tay insists it’s legitimate and includes breakdown verification via her dashboard KnowYourMeme on screenshot skepticism.
The move forms part of a broader pattern: Lil Tay first rose to fame in **2018 at age nine**, flaunting luxury and designer brands online. Since then, she vanished, endured death hoax claims in 2023, and resurfaced with a music single, “**Sucker 4 Green**,” in late 2023—followed by this explosive transition into adult content just days after turning 18 Wikipedia profiles her controversial history and **IBTimes** revisits her influencer comeback IBTimes on her second act.
Supporters say Lil Tay’s OnlyFans debut symbolizes autonomy, wealth control, and reclaiming agency over her image—especially after years under parental and managerial influence. Critics argue it’s ethically troubling given how closely her prior identity was tied to childhood and youth branding. Comparisons to Bhad Bhabie’s OnlyFans launch offer context: Bregoli earned $1M in six hours, but Lil Tay’s claim eclipses even that record, raising debate over early adult monetization strategies Tyla draws the Bhad Bhabie parallel.
Yesterday’s launch and record-breaking earnings—if accurate—mark a watershed moment: Lil Tay has reclaimed control, turned controversy into cash, and rewritten her narrative just as she becomes legally an adult. Whether this marks financial liberation or exploitation remains fiercely debated.
