Lil Tay, 18, calls 'women working 9-5s failures' after making $15 million in two weeks on OnlyFans

She's explained why she made the comments

Lil Tay has explained what she meant when she said women over 25 who were working a 9-5 were a 'failure'.

The viral star joined OnlyFans after turning 18 and said she made a million dollars in about three hours on the adult website, with her bragging that she was 'still the youngest one doing it' and asked the 'grown a** haters who've been hating since I was nine years old' how they felt now.

Having gained her initial fame in 2018 by claiming she was able to buy expensive things, Lil Tay shared a breakdown of her earnings showing that in three hours she'd made $511,003 from subscriptions, $486,558 from private messages with fans and another $26,736 from tips.

It would appear to make her the 'fastest earner' in the site's history.

Making a million dollars in a few hours, the viral star took to social media where she called out women working regular hours, saying: "If you’re over the age of 25 and you’re still working a 9 to 5, you are a failure. Like, by then you should’ve already made your bag.

"And ladies, every single one of you should drop the link, like me. Literally, just make your bag. Who gives a f**k what anybody thinks?"

Speaking to Page Six after she joined OnlyFans, Lil Tay said she made $15 million in two weeks and explained why she called out women working a 9-5.

The 18-year-old said she was 'misunderstood' and was just trying to 'motivate' women to make more money as she said she gets 'more money than most people ever f**king touch in their life'.

She added: "Every woman should be empowered and every woman should do whatever the hell they want to do."

Of course if every woman got onto OnlyFans they wouldn't make much money, and 76 percent of all money on the site goes to 0.1 percent of accounts.

Lil Tay later said 'people say that money doesn't buy happiness, but it does', and revealed that despite her initial viral image of being a child with cash to splash, she was actually 'broke' and didn't get money from her family.

She recently claimed that she 'got kicked out' by her family after they learned she'd joined OnlyFans and she was now 'disowned'.

Telling Page Six about her joining the site, Lil Tay said she wasn't concerned about 'creepy' older men subscribing to her account as she said they'd been looking at pictures of her since she was 15 and she might as well make money from it.

She also said a 'top spender' had asked her to pose with bottles of baby oil, alluding to the parties Sean 'Diddy' Combs held.

Given her age, there has been plenty of criticism over Lil Tay joining OnlyFans, with some saying it was 'sad as hell' and wondering 'what the hell is wrong with people' that so many would sign up to her account when she'd just turned 18.

Others have asked questions over her actual age, as when the viral star first became famous in 2018 she claimed she was nine years old, which wouldn't add up if she'd turned 18 in 2025.
