Lil Tay’s public image wasn’t the most controversial aspect of her career. Instead, many fans have questioned whether or not the teen star was working of her own accord or forced by her family to play up her divisive personality. As noted by BuzzFeed News, a 2018 video of Lil Tay lacking confidence as an unknown person fed her lines had some wondering if her personality had been manufactured. The video’s caption listed the person as her brother, although many have speculated the voice could belong to her father, Chris Hope, who’s been accused in the past of abusing the teen for financial gain.
According to the New York Post, Hope currently works at Lindsay LLP, a law firm based out of Vancouver, Canada. Hope failed again to confirm the death of his daughter during a phone call from the outlet. “Yeah, you have the right person, but I don’t have any comment right now,” Hope reportedly said. “I’m not able to give you any comment right now. I’m sorry — I can’t.” Previously, Harry Tsang defended Hope. “Christopher Hope does not want any money from Lil Tay,” shared Tsang with the Daily Beast. “There are only three things he wants to see. First, no more crazy videos of cursing from Tay. Second, 25% of the gross earnings going to a trust fund dedicated to Tay. The third thing is, there has to be structure in her operation, in her public image.”
