Lil Tay, the 14-year-old rapper, has just dropped a new music video for her new song, "SUCKER 4 GREEN."
The OG influencer made headlines in August as she was involved in a huge controversial death hoax.
As for the song itself, the lyrics seem to emphasize the title, "Some calling it a sick obsession/Nothing wrong with being rich and blessed and/ I just want a few yachts and mansions, right now," Tay continues in the tune.
Within 24 hours, the music video reached 1.7 million views.

Lil Tay posted on her socials, "FULLY INDEPENDENT, WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY ME."
During an Instagram Live she appeared in when first posting the video Tay told her viewers, "This video and song are only glimpses into the world I've been building. What and who I am are in the title of the song."
Tay also cryptically said, "I&rsquo;m back. I'm exposing everyone. I've been waiting for this moment for years, studying my own craft and perfecting it along the way." Although there was no clarification regarding who she was exposing or for what.
It all started on Aug. 9 with a statement posted on Lil Tay's Instagram page claiming that she and her brother, Jason Tian, had died.
"It is with a heavy heart that we share the devastating news of our beloved Claire's sudden and tragic passing," the now-deleted statement read. "We have no words to express the unbearable loss and indescribable pain. This outcome was entirely unexpected and has left us all in shock. Her brother's passing adds an even more unimaginable depth to our grief.&rdquo;
However, 24 hours later, Lil Tay released a statement to TMZ saying that she was alive and her Instagram had been hacked.
In a statement provided by Tay's family to the outlet, she said, "I want to make it clear that my brother and I are safe and alive, but I&rsquo;m completely heartbroken, and struggling to even find the right words to say. It&rsquo;s been a very traumatizing 24 hours. All day yesterday, I was bombarded with endless heartbreaking and tearful phone calls from loved ones all while trying to sort out this mess."
"My Instagram account was compromised by a 3rd party and used to spread jarring misinformation and rumors regarding me, to the point that even my name was wrong," she continued. "My legal name is Tay Tian, not 'Claire Hope.'"
In September, Tay shared a post on social media, blaming her father, Christopher Hope, for the death hoax, stating, "My abusive, racist, misogynist, woman-beating father faked my death," the post alleged, in all caps, alongside a photo of Hope.
Hope denied the allegations, "Everything stated is 100% false, and I trust that this should be obvious to anyone who knows me or the long history of absurd and untrue statements made by the various people who have controlled the Instagram account," he added.
Lil Tay has since been largely silent on social media until the recent release of her latest music video.
