Nine-year-old celebrity Instagram influencer Lil Tay apologized for an outdated video where she says a racist slur, environment the tone for her new reality TV show, "Life With Lil Tay."

"It's just that everyone was telling me that it's OK. So when I filmed the video, I just thought it was OK and I didn't really think that much of it," stated Lil Tay, who has 2.7 million followers on Instagram.

"I really apologize to everyone I offended," she persisted. "And I just want to say that I'm not racist at all."

Lil Tay was once apparently regarding a video from December 15, 2017, which has resurfaced several times in news protection of Lil Tay. In the video, she "flexes" through speaking about her meant wealth.

"This Lil Tay. B----, I'm richer than all y'all broke-ass n-----," she said. "What are y'all doing with your lives?"

The apology used to be the central drama of the seven-minute premiere episode of "Life With Lil Tay," which is streaming on The Zeus Network. The episode formally introduces audience to Lil Tay's mother and brother, Angela Tian and Jason Tian, as well as her supervisor, Diomi Cordero.

In the episode, Cordero started the conversation by way of saying the family needed to talk about "negative things" being said about Lil Tay's movies. As he defined that, the show played ominous track and equipped response pictures of Jason. The photographs prompt they were about to discuss the leaked videos of him apparently feeding lines to Lil Tay behind the scenes, which ended in her going dark on her social media accounts.

Instead, it became out to be the video the place Lil Tay makes use of the slur.

Jason defined that African-Americans urged them at the time that using the slur was appropriate.

"Most of the African-American people that were helping, they were advising that it wasn't racist," he mentioned. "It was just another term to address your friends."

Lil Tay's mother expressed her unhappiness.

"It's never OK to use N-word," she stated. "I never thought that you guys would be racist."

The 9-year-old Instagram star's use of a racist slur is just one of her many controversies. Lil Tay and her circle of relatives constructed a brand the place she "flexed" status symbols like luxurious vehicles and clothes and trash-talked different internet celebrities. After she wiped her social media accounts, she resurfaced simplest twice: to memorialize XXXTentacion, the killed 20-year-old rapper who used to be was awaiting trial on fees that concerned beating and strangling his pregnant girlfriend, and to post a cryptic message that said "Help me."

Cordero, in the episode, stated Lil Tay wanted a new direction for her logo and to go along with better other folks. The display used to be it sounds as if meant to help refresh her image, though it was filmed before her internet disappearance.

"You guys have to understand that there are a lot of bad people in this industry who do not want the best for you guys," Cordero instructed the circle of relatives. "They're going to influence you and get in your ears and try to manipulate you guys."

And Lil Tay in my view seemed interested in rising her logo. She stated she sought after to prove to the sector that she will be able to do extra than simply flex.

"People just see one side of me," she mentioned. "Just flexing. But I can do so much more. And I just want to show people my talents."

But along with her mysterious disappearance from social media, it's onerous to tell what is next for the Instagram star.
