“Imagine being an artist and having almost 8 million monthly listeners on Spotify, but making more money by having 1,000 people subscribe to photos of your feet.”
Known for her millions of listeners on Spotify, this singing star claims to earn more on OnlyFans by selling photos of her feet than with her music.
Author of the hits “Smile” and “Fuck you”, Lily Allen recently made this surprising revelation.
In a message posted on X, the English singer highlighted the irony of this situation with a biting comment: “Don’t hate the player, hate the game.”

“Imagine being an artist and having almost 8 million monthly listeners on Spotify, but making more money by having 1,000 people subscribing to pictures of your feet. Don’t hate the player, hate the game.”
$10,000 per month
It all started with an innocent suggestion from her beautician, who encouraged the singer to post photos of her feet on OnlyFans (a subscription-based social network created in 2016), convinced that it could work well.
The beauty professional was indeed not mistaken: for 10 dollars per month, Lily Allen’s subscribers now bring her around 10,000 dollars per month, which is more than what Spotify pays her, despite her 7.5 million dollars. monthly listeners.
For the singer, this paradox highlights a much broader problem in the music industry, where streaming platforms pay artists so little that they sometimes push them to look elsewhere for better income.
