During her first month on OnlyFans, Ray made $87,000. Some of that goes to the site, middlemen, and taxes, she said, but the earnings became addictive.

Nala Ray Gave Up a Lucrative Lifestyle

At the height of her porn career, Ray lived in a $3.4 million house in California, drove a Porsche, wore luxury clothes, and smoked weed every day to stay numb. Everyone around her was “fake,” she said, and she became “so calloused over” that she felt and expressed no emotions.

When Lecrae asked how OnlyFans became a trap, Ray responded, “The money’s the trap.” The site offers recruiters incentives for signing up models, she said. “Our addiction to porn in America is ridiculous…and it’s gotten so much worse because of OnlyFans.”

One allure of porn is that people think they’re building relationships, Ray said, but all she cared about was the financial transaction. “You’re literally a pimped-out puppet, and your pimps are your subscribers,” she said. Success in the porn industry “comes with the price of your soul, [and] people never hear the emptiness of it all.”

Ray’s conscience finally started to be bothered when her family found out about her online persona. Her mother cut off contact with her for about three years. Surprisingly, her father encouraged her to stay in the porn business because she was sending him money each month.

How Jesus Changed Nala Ray’s Life

The turning point for Nala Ray started when she met Jordan, now her husband, through TikTok. During their conversations, Ray heard genuine emotion about “real stuff”—stuff she said no one in L.A. ever discussed. After Jordan found out about Ray’s career, he started sending her Bible verses and Christian content, telling her how much God loves her.

Ray said when Jordan eventually “called my sin out,” she was defensive at first. But he was loving, not judgmental, and regularly prayed for her. During a 2 a.m. encounter with God, Ray picked up her Bible and expressed how empty she felt. She “heard God’s voice” and began sobbing, realizing how far she’d fallen from him.

Jordan, who had said he wouldn’t date Ray until she gave her life to Christ, was the only person who attended her baptism. The couple had a short engagement to avoid “falling into that sin trap,” Ray said. Because she was such a “baby Christian,” she felt some fear about the “huge decision to follow Christ.” But reading the Bible and Christian books, praying, and being in God’s presence has kept up her “thirst for Christ.”

Ray stopped cussing, gave up weed, sold her luxury car and goods, and left OnlyFans, which meant “saying goodbye to my financial freedom.” To critics who insist she should have donated her millions to charity, Ray said she didn’t feel obligated to “give up my entire life.”
