Jim Lew, director of business development for the Pacific Place Group – which includes Pacific Evergreen Realty – told Vancouver’s Daily Hive website on Wednesday that Angela Tian had been dismissed after the agency found out about her alleged role in Lil Tay’s foul-mouthed career.

“There is no place for this sort of activity in our industry,” Lew reportedly told the Daily Hive.

Who is Lil Tay? Behind the illusion of the foul-mouthed nine-year-old Asian rapper and internet sensation

The news comes three days after the South China Morning Post reported that videos supposedly filmed by Lil Tay in Hollywood had actually been shot in Vancouver. Lil Tay is said to be nine years old.

One video was shot in a Vancouver apartment that is currently listed for sale, while another was shot in the car park of the city’s Oakridge shopping mall, in the north business wing where Pacific Evergreen Realty has its office.

It is not clear who owns the apartment in the video, which overlooks Vancouver’s False Creek and Granville Street Bridge, but Lil Tay boasted in the video that it was her home in the Hollywood Hills and her “toilet costs more than your rent”.
