Lily Allen is one of the most popular singers in the world, and many fans thought she was well-rewarded because of the audience that streams her music. However, she recently dropped a truth bomb on the world that is much bigger and bigger than her husband, David Harbour. According to Lily Allen, she makes more money selling pictures of her feet on OnlyFans than she does on her Spotify stream.
Lily Allen Fires Back
The only reason we know about this is that a hater took to X (formerly Twitter) to criticize Lily Allen for selling pictures of her feet, writing “Imagine being one of the biggest pop stars/singers in Europe and being reduced to this. ” The singer replied, “Imagine you are a singer and you have almost 8 million listeners on Spotify but you get extra money by subscribing to 1,000 photos of your feet. He ended his speech with a very negative message: “Don’t hate the player, hate the game.”
Now, we know what you’re thinking: how did a rock star like Lily Allen start selling foot prints in the first place? Through his podcast You missed merevealed that her podiatrist complimented her feet and told her she could make money by selling photos of them online. Faster than you can say these little pigs went to the bank, the singer started selling her podiatrist-praised paws online.
On her podcast, Lily Allen once again openly stated how much her feet photos are really needed. As proof of this, he mentioned WikiFeet, which serves as a repository for fetishist celebrity feet photos. Users are able to rate the pictures of the famous people in question, and Allen boasted that his pictures of feet have a perfect rating of 5 stars.
How Much Money Does He Make Selling Photographs?
How much does Lily Allen actually make selling those foot pictures, though? He currently charges $10 per month to his OnlyFans account subscribers. Based on his previous claim of having 1,000 subscribers, that means these photos are bringing in at least $10,000 every month.
Obviously, Lily Allen makes good change (over six figures a year!) selling these foot pictures, but how does that compare to her Spotify money? That number is very difficult to calculate with precision, but the artist currently has 7.5 million monthly listeners on Spotify, a platform that pays between $.003 and $.005 per stream. While we don’t know exactly how much monthly income is compounded, one thing is certain: it’s small (probably away less) than $10,000.
Famous Hubby
Lily Allen’s words caused an uproar among her loyal fans, many of whom wondered why she would go public with the practice of selling pictures of feet. After all, she is a pop star who has been married to him Stranger Things star David Harbour, so it’s hard for many to imagine that he’s hurting for money. Some think he’s making a point, actually using his foot fetish side to point out how little Spotify pays popular artists.
We have no doubt that Lily Allen is just as committed to improving the way artists earn money as she is to selling pornographic photos of her feet. Whether that equates to much-needed changes at Spotify, however, remains to be seen. In the meantime, we can’t help but wonder if other celebrities will follow suit and realize that the key to more digits in their bank account is to sell pictures of their digits online.
