Lily Allens on her OnlyFans earnings
On Thursday, Lily posted some photos of her feet on X (formerly Twitter) along with a link to her OnlyFans account. This received a response from a Twitter user who criticized him. “Imagine being one of the biggest pop stars/musicians in Europe and then getting to this point,” the person wrote.
Lily, in turn, shared that tweet and revealed, “Imagine being an artist and having about 8 million monthly listeners on Spotify, but making more money than 1,000 people subscribing to pictures of your feet. Hate the game, not the player.”
OnlyFans is a subscriber-based platform primarily used by adult entertainers to share their content. Lily reportedly charges $10 per month for her OnlyFans account. Looking at his subscriber count, his earnings from the platform amount to more than $10,000 monthly. His earnings from Spotify are not clear. According to Variety, the singer has 7.5 million monthly listeners on the platform, which pays artists between $.003 and $.005 per stream.
Lily Allen posts fact check about her earnings
On Friday, Lily fact-checked a post from Pop Crave that claimed she makes more than a million dollars annually through Spotify. The post reads, “Lily Allen makes approximately $4,077 a day from Spotify, which equates to $1.4 million annually, according to a new Billboard article: “$3,239 is going to the copyright owner for the sound recording; The $336 mechanical royalty is going to the publisher, who pays the songwriter; And $503 in performance royalties paid to performance rights organizations.” Lilly shared the tweet and said, “This is incredibly confusing, but I’m not smart enough to tell you that I’m just a little bit of what’s being quoted here How do I calculate the percentage? You’ll just have to trust me that neoliberal capitalism doesn’t care about paying artists for their work.”
Lily Allen, 39, is one of the most prominent English pop artists of her generation. Their 2006 debut single, Smile, was a chartbuster. She has since seen both commercial success and critical acclaim through successful albums such as Alright, Still (2006), It’s Not Me, It’s You (2009), and Sheezus (2014). She also hosts her own talk show, Lily Allen & Friends.
