Lil Tay is officially back on social media...

Earlier this week, Tay posted a story to her Instagram, and it read "we have bad news about tay..."

We now know what the bad news is...

According to multiple Instagram posts by Tay and her team, she has been MIA because her father, Chris Hope, took control over her money & career.

Allegedly, Chris and his wife Hanee Hope have also been abusive to Tay, beating her and locking her in closets. 

Tay will be in the BC Supreme Court of Canada starting April 23, where she will be fighting against her dad retaining custody over her.

She is asking for donations via GoFundMe.
