Who is Christopher Hope? Lil Tay accuses father of death hoax and of being abusive

Popular internet personality Lil Tay recently shocked the masses when she accused her father, Christopher Hope, of faking her death and allegedly being abusive with her. All of the fiasco took place on Saturday, September 30, 2023, when the Canada-based social media star hopped on to an Instagram Live session and addressed all of the rumours, as she has not posted any videos or pictures of herself since 2018.

She started the video by holding a piece of paper in her hand, which said “Why I have been gone,” and then started explaining the story. She spoke about her father, and claimed that he declared her dead in front of the world so that he could gain monetary profit from it by taking all of her money. In the Live session, she revealed the details about Christopher Hope and said:

"Chris Hope was the one who did the death hoax. Meanwhile, he was working with this other con artist that was claiming to be my manager and they had a crypto coin together. Their plan was to fake my death and then promote the crypto coin. Which, by the way, the manager admitted to. He said he'd been working on the crypto coin for months. These people are frauds."

Lil Tay rose to fame in 2018, before she abruptly stopped posting after June 19, 2018. A social media post was then made from her account on August 10 claiming that she had passed away. This bewildered many fans and followers. However, the social media star then hopped on to the platform on September 28, 2023, and stated that she is not dead, and now handles the account by herself.

Christopher Hope is reportedly a lawyer based in Vancouver, Canada. As per Pink Villa, he is affiliated to a firm in the city, and is also a member of the tribunal of the property assessment appeal board.
