Lily Allen says her OnlyFans career is more lucrative than her singing career these days.
The star, 39, took to X (formerly Twitter) on Friday, Oct. 25, to reveal she is making more money from selling pictures of her feet on the popular paid content creator platform than royalties from having about 7,463,186 monthly listeners on Spotify.
In response to an initial post about her OnlyFans, one user on X replied, “Imagine being one of the biggest pop stars/musicians in Europe and then being reduced to this,” which led Allen to clap back with the shocking financial reveal in a post of her own.

“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. Don’t hate the player, hate the game,” she retorted.
According to the streaming data site Kworb, Allen’s music receives about 851,623 streams per day on Spotify, a.k.a. around 25,548,690 streams per month. A royalty calculator powered by Billboard estimates the “F— You” performer’s music generates about $122,321 per month.
However, that money is then split among songwriters, producers, record labels and other collaborators in addition to Allen herself.
Her OnlyFans page, on the other hand, costs $10 per month. With around 1,000 subscribers, as she stated, the account likely generates about $100,000 per month — all of which goes directly to Allen.
Allen has been extremely open with her exploration of OnlyFans as a revenue source, while also touching on the power dynamic the platform provides and how it makes her feel.
Her page launch came a few weeks after she discussed potentially selling feet content during an episode of her BBC podcast Miss Me? with co-host Miquita Oliver.
“I have a lady that comes and does my nails,” the “Smile” singer shared at the time. “They informed me that I have five stars on WikiFeet, which is quite rare. My feet are rated quite highly on the internet.”

“She said that I could make a lot of money from selling foot content on OnlyFans. And I’m like, ‘Not no.'”
During a later, July 4 episode of the Miss Me? podcast, Allen touched on her husband David Harbour’s reaction to her selling pictures of her feet online.
“Yeah, he is, he thinks it’s great,” Allen said after Oliver asked whether Harbour is “alright” with the decision. “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.”
During that same podcast episode, Allen doubled down that her page features just one thing: pictures of her feet. “I’ve got very strict guidelines. And 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, only feet.”
