- Holy [bleep].
- (FBE) As a kid, when you see someone
like Lil Tay and see how viral she's gone,
does it make you want to be like her
even a little bit? - Never.
♪ (industrial intro) ♪
- (Tay) To all y'all broke [bleep] haters,
- Oh my God.
- Hell no.
- Oh, I know this video.

- Youngest flexer of the century, baby!
- (Tay) Y'all ain't doing it like Lil Tay,
This is why all y'all [bleep] haters...
- What is happening?
- Is she a rapper?
- (Tay) I'm only nine years old.
- If she's nine years old, why is she cussing?
- It's kind of funny, but not at the same time.
- (Tay) Your favorite rapper ain't even doing it
like Lil Tay. - Damn.
- That's a lot of beeps and what the flip?
- I've seen it on Twitter and I genuinely thought
it was a parody.
- Yes, dude. Lil Tay, about time, dude.
- (Tay) Lil Tay up here on the top
of Beverly Hills. I run this beat.
- Oh my God.
- (Tay) I run this beat. Who do you see
doing it like Lil Tay? I'm the youngest one...
- What?
- (Tay) I run LA. I got shooters there,
there, here.
I got shooters there, there, here.
I got shooters everywhere. - I don't like Lil Tay.
- (Tay) Look at this view. - What?
No.
- It's kinda funny, 'cause I honestly,
whole heartedly think this is an act.
- Oh my God.
- She did not rev it up like that.
- What is she doing? What is she doing?
- (Tay) Lil Tay just copped a brand new Ferrari.
Y'all haven't seen this car in your life.
I'm out here flexing. - Flow--
flex on them, Tay!
- (Tay) I'm out here flexing on all y'all broke [bleep] haters.
All y'all broke [bleep] haters. - Holy [bleep].
- (Tay) I got a $350,000 chain. - She got a gold chain?
- (Tay) Y'all rappers out here. I ain't even started rapping yet,
but I'm richer than you [bleep]. - I don't like this person.
- Who made her like this?
- That was crazy and there was so many bleeps.
- Oh, I can't stand her. Does she not have parents?
- This is so scripted. It's absolutely fake.
The fact that people get upset about what this is,
is [bleep] unbelievable to me.
- (Tay) Lil Tay just got verified. - Oh boy.
- Why is she-- why are you yelling?
- (Tay) Look, I'm verified now. - Dude, stop cursing.
Where's her parents?
- (Tay) Lil Tay, the youngest flexer of the century.
[Bleep], I'm verified.
- Is that her dad?
- Oh, that has to be dad.
- (man) Ah, dang it. Ow, I'm gonna call the police.
- Oh my God. What just happened?
- That has to be staged.
- I'm shocked, I'm horrified, and I'm also amused.
- (FBE) So, those were all videos from the Instagram
account of Lil Tay. - Lil Tay,
youngest flexer in the century!
- I don't like it at all.
- Is she trying to be entertaining or maybe it's just all real
and this is a real person. That thought terrifies me.
- (FBE) In addition to posting these videos,
she has also released a rap song,
so we have that to play for you now.
- God. Oh my God.
- What is there to rap about at nine years old?
I want to listen to this.
- Parental advisory. Explicit content.
From a nine year old.

- Wow.
- Who is encouraging this? All of the blame
should go on her parents.
- Why do her parents let her do these things
and say these bad words?
- It's crazy, but it's a reflection of our society.
We like real dumbed down, stupid [bleep].
- It's ridiculous how funny this all is.
It's part of the gag. It's part of the joke.
It's part of the meme. Lil Tay is a [bleep] meme.
You're supposed to listen to this [bleep]
and enjoy her [bleep] ironically.
- (FBE) So, as you may have caught in some of her videos,
Lil Tay has said that she is just nine years old.
- Oh, wow.
- I feel like she's trying to impersonate
a sixteen year old or something.
- (FBE) Given her age, do you think it's okay to be doing
what she's doing? - Absolutely not.
- No. She literally curses
in her videos.
- I don't think there's anything great about
what she's doing, whether she's nine or 29.
- I hope maybe it's for satire purposes,
but if it's really how she perceives the world,
it's just really dangerous.
- I'm kind of on both sides. We live in an age
where super young [bleep] kids are becoming
relatively famous by themselves by doing
cringey, similar [bleep] to this. The difference is that,
I think Lil Tay's is ironic and she does it
because it's funny.
- There's adults around here who are kinda egging her on
saying "Hey, do more of it." They're really screwing
her over and they're really screwing a lot of
other people in our society over.
- (FBE) Many people, when first encountering Lil Tay
have been asking about her parents. While her parents have yet
to be publicly confirmed, there have been reports
that her mother recently quit her real estate job
after allegedly using her boss' Mercedes 500 SL
in one of Lil Tay's Instagram videos.
- She did? If this is not a script,
I'm gonna freak out.
- So not only does Lil Tay not have it,
but even mommy and daddy don't have one.
- (FBE) What do you think about her parents' role
in all of this? - Why are they letting
their child do this? I feel like that's illegal
letting your kid say all those things and stuff.
- I think her parents are [bleep] idiots,
that's what I think. I think they are trying
to get some money from this little girl.
- Why are you doing this to your kid?
That's irreversible damage that you're doing
if she's nine years old. You're basically ruining
this kid forever because you want follows.
- As a parent, you should teach your kids things
about being respectful and being modest
and being humble and about not being opportunists.
- It happens in sports, too. The person is somewhat
extra talented at nine years of age
and look out and it'll run away with you.
In the final run, it is their job to say
yes or no and once they do say yes,
they're walking a very thin line.
- Sure, you can say, "It's a nine year old.
They don't wanna do all this." But you have to remember
that we live in an age in which the kids
have always grown up with the internet,
so why is it weird to think that a nine year old kid
is growing up and seeing these other kids become
popular or famous in their own way and not wanting to do the same?
- (FBE) As a kid, when you see someone
like Lil Tay and see how viral she's gone,
does it make you want to be like her even a little bit?
- Never.
- No, I don't want to be someone who flexes off
of fake money or a fake chain or not even
their Mercedes.
- No, not at all. People say "be yourself."
I don't honestly think that's herself.
That's probably her parents forcing her to do that.
- (FBE) As a parent yourself, how do you feel
when you see other parents do stuff like this?
- Wow, I mean, it's a choice,
but thinking about it in the short term so much.
What about the long term effects?
- It's not so much letting them do this type of thing
because if she were out making Instagram things,
okay, but it's the message. This "better than" attitude
and that if you don't own these things then
you're not [bleep]. What kind of message is that
for a parent to be sending their kid?
- (FBE) So finally, given what you've seen
of her today, where do you think Lil Tay
goes from here? - In a downward spiral
to being unfamous.
- Well, it depends, I believe, on her guidance, the parents.
Hopefully, they have a safe place for her to come
to all the time and they kick her--
they give her the real information that she
needs to know.
- There's an old term called "flash in the pan."
and she may well be that and maybe she made
some money, maybe she can save the money for college.
There might be something there that we can get
from all this.
- When you're young and you put out
a certain persona, then that's how people
perceive you and that's just so hard to put
on such a fragile human mind, let a lone a nine year old.
I just feel for her. I feel like, I don't know,
she might go through a lot of things later
and I just wish her the best really.
