Lily Allen just pulled back the curtain on a career move that’s got people raising eyebrows and, apparently, wallets. Yep, the 39-year-old “Smile” singer has stepped—barefoot—into the OnlyFans world. And spoiler: It pays way better than streaming her music.
In case you missed it, back in July, Lily announced she was selling photos of her feet on OnlyFans. That’s right, the same feet that’ve probably walked across award show carpets and festival stages are now funding her lifestyle.
On October 25th, Lily decided to spill some tea about her earnings on X (formerly Twitter, for those keeping up with social media’s rebranding bingo). Responding to a user who tried to throw some shade by saying she’d been “reduced to” using the platform for cash, Lily came back swinging harder than a Spotify algorithm glitch.
“Imagine being an artist with nearly 8 million monthly listeners on Spotify,” she wrote, “but earning more from 1,000 people subscribing to pics of your feet. Don’t hate the player, hate the game.”
Now, here’s the math: Lily’s subscription is $10 a month. With 1,000 subscribers, that’s a cool $10,000 a month—aka $120,000 a year. We’re talking foot-pic profits that make “Smile” royalties look like couch change.
And let’s be real—Lily’s just embracing the 2024 grindset. Why hustle for pennies per stream when a few foot shots can buy you a vacation in the Maldives?
Some artists drop surprise albums; Lily drops toe pics. Play on, queen.
