The 'Lil Tay Dropping The Link' meme exploded across social media following the 18th birthday of the infamous 'youngest flexer.' After a long hiatus and various internet hoaxes regarding her wellbeing, Lil Tay returned to announce the launch of her OnlyFans account. The meme culture surrounding this event focuses on the sheer shock of her transition from a child influencer to an adult content creator, with the phrase 'dropping the link' becoming a satirical shorthand for her comeback. These memes are widely used to express disbelief at the passage of time or to critique the trajectory of viral fame in the digital age.
