You're Probably Wondering Who Lil Tay Even Is

If you haven't already seen the viral clips of this young yellow haired 9-year-old cursing and boasting about her wealth, count yourself lucky.

In a disrespectfully entertaining form of irony, Lil Tay is a 9-year-old rapper that has been spotted at Coachella, worked on a music video with Chief Keef and had a public altercation with Danielle Bregoli.

There are so many questions about her and Google offers very little in way of answers. Who is this child and why does she have so many "bands"? Who's signing her and honestly, why?

Lil Tay is a 9-year-old rapper.

Maybe she is of the likes of the now infamous Walmart yodel boy, who himself, with the help of just one viral video was spontaneously catapulted into a world of fame so real that he performed at Coachella. (Now I kind of wish my mom forced me to perform in Walmart and recorded it, if I'm being honest.)

But the fact is that no one really knows where Lil Tay comes from. There is something about her savage verbal outbursts and her unyielding confidence that sets her apart from other typical 9-year-olds. I sat in a classroom learning how to write cursive at 9 years old, but Lil Tay? At nine years old, she's popping bands.

If you scour the twitter threads coming up everywhere about her (I certainly have), a lot of them call BS and claim that Lil Tay is an industry plant, used to generate hype and publicity around record label songs. The conspiracy is that she's a character, almost a paid actress at this point who's role is to represent this wild and erratic persona to essentially, tick people off. Is this true?

No one is really sure. Only thing we are sure about, whether its all an act or not, she's certainly invested in this character.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
