Tylil James is a Gen Z Twitch streamer and content creator from The Bronx, New York. He began his content creation career in December 2021, posting funny and dance-filled videos; one of which, a parody of Will Smith slapping Chris Rock, blew insanely up, and well, yeah, that was the one video that, sort of, introduced him to fame.
If you’ve ever watched his streams lately, you’ve probably seen a little girl who he features in his live streams; Sage. Fans once thought she was his daughter, but Tylil has said many times that Sage is his niece, not his kid. So, like, he’s Sage’s uncle… not DAD.
Who is Tylil James’s Niece, Sage?
Sage was born in 2021, and she is 4 years old now. Even though she’s still really young, she’s already got her own fan base. Her Instagram account, @ohthatssage, is run by her mom Autumn Dior and has approximately 60,000 followers.
Her bio says:
“Hi, I’m Sage! I’m 4 years old. I love dancing, singing & making content. Ohthatssagebookings@gmail.com Ran by mother @autumndior__.”
She’s also on TikTok under @mommy_sageyy (Ohthatssage), where she now has nearly 20,000 followers. Most people know her as “your favorite kid dancer,” and honestly, that name kinda fits.
Who is Sage to Tylil James
Sage isn’t just Tylil’s niece; she’s also one of his biggest motivators. Well… in a June 2025, Tylil recounted how he and Sage were denied access to the BET Awards Red Carpet, with event staff telling him it was “illegal” to bring children.
It wasn’t until Kai Cenat arrived and intervened; insisting he (Kai) wouldn’t enter unless Sage could walk the carpet with Tylil, that they were finally let in. The experience deeply inspired Tylil, who later said it motivated him “to work even harder” for himself and his niece. Tylil said the whole thing made him want to work even harder, not just for himself but for Sage too.
How Sage Became Part of Tylil’s Career
Ohthatssage has been part of Tylil James’s journey from his earliest days on Twitch; she was born in 2021, the same year Tylil started his career… SO. She’s often seen dancing beside him, joining Q&A sessions, or interacting with viewers. Tylil has spoken about how much they’ve overcome together; including sleeping on the floor and surviving on ramen noodles during their tougher years before his fame.
This shared history has made fans even more attached to their bond, seeing Sage not just as a “guest” in his content, but as part of his motivation and creative force.
Who is Sage’s Mom?
Sage’s mom is Autumn Dior; she is on Instagram under the username @autumndior__. She’s the one behind all of Sage’s content and bookings. Autumn is also Tylil’s younger sister, which is what makes Sage his niece.
In a December 2023 TikTok, Tylil revealed that he actually has 13 siblings; and each one is a year older than the next. He said he’s the seventh child, while Kayshawn is the oldest brother, Armani is the oldest sister (kid #3), and Autumn is child #8.
Does Tylil James Have a Daughter?
No, Tylil James doesn’t have a daughter. The little girl you see in his videos is his niece, Sage. But the two are so close that fans often think she’s his kid. Their chemistry on camera; from dance-offs to jokes and challenges, makes it easy to see why people get confused.
So, yeah, this writer gets it. “We listen, we don’t judge Judy.” :))
How Tall is Tylil James?
Tylil stands 6 feet 5 inches (195 cm) tall and weighs around 88 kg (194 lbs). And, in case you are wondering why he’s so tall… well, it’s just ‘em genes. No, actually, it is.
And, by the way, he, while in high school, played basketball for his school team. He attended John F. Kennedy High School in The Bronx, New York.
Tylil’s LeBron James Tattoo
In June 2025, Tylil James met LeBron James, which was huge of a deal for him ‘cause he often claimed to be LeBron James’ long lost brother and loves LeBron.
Following that meeting, he even got a tattoo of LeBron’s crown logo with the date “6.21.25” to remember that moment. He says it’s more than just a tattoo; it’s a symbol of how far he’s come and what he’s working toward.
Um… this writer is also Gen Z, and yeah, he is rooting for Tylil James and his niece!!! :))
