Internet personality Lil Tay has provided an update on her condition after undergoing open heart surgery to remove a benign tumor from her heart. In a post shared on her X account (formerly Twitter) on September 22, 2024, the 15-year-old shared that her recovery has been painful and challenging, leaving many of her fans concerned about her well-being.
Lil Tay’s latest post reveals that she is currently experiencing “immense amounts of pain” as she recovers from the invasive surgical procedure. Specifically, the post notes that she recently had her chest tube removed—a tube that was draining blood from around her heart and lungs following the surgery. Describing the removal process as slow and requiring the assistance of multiple medical staff members, the post emphasized how tough this phase of her recovery has been.

“Lil Tay is in immense amounts of pain; she had her chest tube (that drains blood from around her heart and lungs) taken out,” read the update, alongside a photo of the young internet star lying in a hospital bed, clearly uncomfortable but surrounded by supportive medical personnel. The photo reflects the intensity of her current physical struggle, which aligns with the details shared in the post.
Her team also used the post to ask fans to continue sending their thoughts and prayers as she battles through the difficult recovery process. “Please continue to send Lil Tay your prayers as she continues facing challenges on her road to recovery,” the post added, calling on her supporters for positive energy and well wishes.
The update follows a previous post from September 12, 2024, where Lil Tay’s X account shared a video of her echocardiogram as “proof” of her health condition. The short clip showed the extent of her heart issues, which led to the urgent need for the open heart surgery she recently underwent.

This isn’t the first time Lil Tay has made headlines for unexpected and concerning reasons. In 2023, she was the subject of a viral death hoax that shook the internet. The hoax began when a post from her official Instagram account falsely claimed she had passed away, leading to an outpouring of grief from fans. However, Lil Tay quickly clarified the situation, stating that her account had been hacked and that she was alive and well.
Lil Tay initially gained widespread internet fame as a controversial child influencer, known for her extravagant social media persona and viral videos. Despite stepping away from the limelight for a period of time, she has occasionally reappeared in the public eye, most recently with updates about her serious health condition.
As of now, Lil Tay is still in the midst of her recovery journey, and while the road ahead may be long and painful, her supporters are keeping her in their thoughts. The latest update shows that the internet personality is facing a tough battle, but her fans remain hopeful that she will pull through this difficult time.
With the surgery behind her, all eyes are on her progress, as the online community continues to send their support and prayers for a full recovery.
