"Boy who cried wolf": Lil Tay's open-heart surgery announcement gets mixed reactions
For those who are not aware, Lil Tay was at the center of a big scandal last year when her social media accounts suddenly declared that she had passed away. The news went viral, especially after it turned out to be a hoax with Tay later accusing her father of faking it and sidelining her.
After what went down last year, the posts about heart tumor diagnosis have been met with a level of distrust by some who have raised concerns about the veracity of the news. This could be why some people have called Lil Tay out despite there being many people who have shown support for her.
"yall never heard the boy who cried wolf? lmaooooo," stated X user @bestttt24.
"if this is some fake shit again for promo...", said @Angelica_Reed1.
"Wait is this actually real?", asked @OneMonarchTwo.
Meanwhile, others sent their thoughts and prayers.
"Our prayers are with Lil Tay… hope she gets well soon please take care and keep updating," implored @SGxTS_abhay.
"praying for you to pull thru tay!!!!!", said @GarrettMinaj.
It is unclear exactly when Lil Tay will be going into surgery or exactly what type of cardiac disease she has, but it seems most of her fans are praying for her to pull through without a hitch.
