Singer turned foot model Lily Allen has revealed how she makes more money from her OnlyFans account than she does her music career… selling pics of her pedicure as a lucrative side-hustle.
The Smile singer, 39, revealed earlier this year that she had created an account on the adult content site OnlyFans, where she would be selling snaps of her soles for £8 a month.
This came after noticing how highly-rated she was on the foot appreciation website Wikifeet – sitting pretty at a rare 5/5 stars.
She first advertised her account via an Instagram Story back in July, posting an image of her bare feet while on holiday on Italy. Sharing a link to the page, Lily captioned the post ‘la dolce feeta.’
Posting to her X account this week, the LDN star provided an update as to how her foot fetish journey is going – revealing how her foot pics are currently raking in more than her music does.
‘Don’t hate the player, hate the game,’ she signed off as she snapped back against one critical user on the social media site.
‘Imagine being one of the biggest pop stars/musicians in Europe and then being reduced to this,’ said X user New_Dimez in response to a series of snaps from her page.
‘Imagine being and artist and having nearly 8 million monthly listeners on spotify but earning more money from having 1000 people subscribe to pictures of your feet,’ Lily replied in a Quote-Tweet.
‘Don’t hate the player, hate the game,’ she finished.
Then, as the website PopCrave quoted her as earning $1.4million (£1million) annually from Spotify alone, the star hit back, saying: ‘This is incredibly misleading, but i’m not smart enough to explain how i make a tiny percentage of what is quoted here.
‘You’ll just have to trust me that neoliberal capitalism doesn’t care about artists being paid for their work.’
According to an estimation by Variety based on her reported numbers, her OnlyFans page racks up around $10,000 (£7,715.75) a month.
Speaking to Miquita Oliver on her podcast in July, Lily revealed the motivation behind her fancy foot-work.
‘I’m finding this actually quite empowering. Having been very sexualized from a very early age, and literally everybody else in the process profiting from that sexualization, it’s actually really fun to be like, in power and in control of something that I find so silly,’ she revealed.
However, she has drawn a hard line at feet, refusing to do anything more extreme than ‘toe-spreading.’
‘Believe me, these guys are all up in my DMs telling me they want bespoke content and asking me for all kinds of crazy stuff and I take such pleasure in just saying, only feet, don’t even got there – this is a foot only page,’ she said.
Elsewhere, the star revealed how her husband – Stranger Things star David Harbour – feels about her joining the legions of industrious young businessfolk selling feet pics online.
‘He thinks it’s great,’ she told Miquita. ‘At first he was, like, not turned on, but he was like, “Is this a kink for you?”
‘And I was like, “No, it’s totally not a kink” But maybe there’s something in the power element of it that’s slightly kinky for me. I’m having my day in the sun.’
