Sophie Rain clapped back at Lil Tay this week, turning down the influencer’s $60 million boxing challenge and calling the whole thing a pointless grab for attention.
The drama kicked off after 18-year-old Lil Tay posted an Instagram video offering to pay Rain to step into the ring with her.
“Sophie Rain, $60 million is what I have for you to fight me in a boxing match. You’re about that money, right?” Tay said.
Rain, 20, fired back with a string of TikTok posts seemingly aimed at shutting down Tay’s claims.
In one video, she lounged on a couch with the caption, “me coming out of retirement after hearing someone is claiming to make more than me.”
Another showed her standing in her living room, writing, “why is some child I was a fan of trying to beef w me for clout…”
Though she never mentioned Tay by name, Rain hinted the whole thing was just a staged online rivalry for views.
“It’s giving unnecessary energy,” she told fans. “I’m not entertaining something that’s just for clout.”
Tay’s comments were sparked by a recent Bop House TikTok joking that she had auditioned for the creator collective.
In her clapback, Tay denied ever auditioning and took shots at the group.
“Why would I do that when I’ve already made more than all of y’all combined?” she said. “Y’all are expired, washed up, pushing 50… I don’t even know these girls, but they name dropping me.”
Rain — a Bop House founder and Christian content creator — has steered clear of fueling the feud, framing it instead as an unwelcome distraction from her work and personal values.
“Some things just aren’t worth the energy,” Rain commented on a fan’s post.
The exchange sparked thousands of online reactions.
On one of Rain’s videos, Lil Tay dropped a mouth-covering emoji, followed by another comment that read, “Grandma been watching me since day 1 and still can’t keep up” — a remark many saw as an age dig, even though Rain is only two years older.
Speaking to Complex, Rain said, “Lil Tay who? This kind of attention is career-ending — not for me, for her. She’s stuck in 2018, newsflash, it’s 2025.”
In a follow-up post, she added, “I’m focused on my work, not internet theatrics.”
