Pop stars are turning to OnlyFans, selling feet and bottom pics as a side hustle
Hindustan TimesIn a bid to fund an upcoming tour, singer Kate Nash recently revealed an unconventional method to raise money: selling pictures of her posterior on the adult subscription platform, OnlyFans. OnlyFans, established in 2016 by Essex entrepreneur Tim Stokely and his father Guy, is a paywalled social media platform where subscribers, or “fans,” pay fees ranging from $5 to $50 per month to access content. Discussing her decision to join OnlyFans, Nash said, “I need extra income to take the stress out of,” adding that she wanted to fairly compensate her band and crew while providing high-quality shows. “It provides opportunities to grow their presence, engage with fans, and earn revenue independently, away from traditional industry constraints.” Despite its controversial reputation for hosting adult content, the platform has flourished, reporting revenues of $1.3 billion for the year ending November 2023—a 20% increase from the previous year.
