On August 12, 2025, 18-year-old social media star and musician Lil Tay challenged OnlyFans model Sophie Rain to a boxing match with a prize of $60 million. Lil Tay aims to create a rivalry that matches the excitement of the upcoming bout between Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford, as reported by TMZ.
In a fiery Instagram post, Tay declared, “Don’t pretend you’re above it all just because you’re scared I’m gonna beat the brakes off you. I’ve been training,” escalating a feud sparked by Rain’s Bop House claiming Tay auditioned for their group
The conflict began when Bop House included Tay among the auditionees, prompting her to respond, “Why would I audition when I’ve made more money than all of you combined? You’re all expired and pushing 50.” Tay, who joined OnlyFans when she turned 18, claimed she earned $1 million in her first three hours on the platform, while Rain reportedly made $43 million in a year. The controversy surrounding Tay’s debut on OnlyFans, which has faced criticism due to her age, adds fuel to the ongoing public dispute.
Rain, 20, has not yet responded to the challenge, which has led fans to speculate whether it is a publicity stunt or a genuine callout. Tay’s history of provocative behaviour suggests that the challenge could be part of her persona. However, her claims about training and the $60 million offer have generated considerable buzz, especially considering she has 5.8 million followers on Instagram.

The proposed fight taps into the influencer boxing trend, potentially drawing massive viewership if realised. However, Tay’s age and the controversy around her OnlyFans presence raise ethical questions about such high-stakes challenges. The feud highlights the intersection of social media fame, wealth flaunting, and combat sports, captivating online audiences.
Lil Tay’s $60 million challenge to Sophie Rain underscores the growing influence of social media stars in shaping entertainment and sports narratives. Its outcome could impact influencer boxing trends.
