Lily Allen says she makes more money by posting pictures of her feet on OnlyFans than she does through her Spotify streams.
Singer Lily Allen has revealed that she makes more money per month by posting pictures of her feet on her OnlyFans account than she does through her Spotify streams.
The English pop star only started her OnlyFans account over the summer after a pedicurist told her she had nice feet and could make some decent money selling pictures of them. On an episode of her podcast, “Miss Me,” Allen shared she has a perfect five-star rating on WikiFeet, the foot fetish website that rates pictures of celebrity feet.
When she posted pictures of her feet and a link to her OnlyFans account on the former Twitter, a fan criticized her by saying, “Imagine being one of the biggest pop stars/musicians in Europe and then being reduced to this.”
To this, Allen replied, “Imagine being an artist and having nearly 8 million monthly listeners on Spotify, but earning more money from having 1,000 people subscribe to pictures of your feet. Don’t hate the player, hate the game.”
Lily Allen’s OnlyFans account costs $10 per month, which comes out to a cool $10,000 monthly based on her subscriber count. Compare that with her 7.5 million monthly Spotify listeners, which earns her around $0.003 and $0.005 per stream.
While OnlyFans is not exclusively a creator platform for sexually charged content, it is notably very porn-friendly, and has paid over $20 billion to content creators since its debut in 2016.
“Everyone assumes it’s sexy content,” said CEO Keily Blair at the Bloomberg Screentime conference in Los Angeles. “Some of it is sexy content — and we’re very happy with that; we’re an inclusive platform, and we’re that way for a reason.”
“We believe it’s very important for adult content creators to have a safe space, to be able to monetize and also to be able to do that alongside other content creators,” added Blair.
The 39-year-old Allen first broke onto the pop music scene back in 2005 when she signed to Regal Recordings and published her songs on Myspace. Her first commercial single, “Smile,” debuted in 2006, and reached #1 on the UK Singles Chart that summer. She released her fourth album, No Shame, in 2018.
