Lily Allen says she makes more money selling feet photos than streaming her music

Lily Allen revealed she makes more money posting photos of her feet on OnlyFans than streaming her music on Spotify.

In June, the 39-year-old singer opened an account on the subscription-based platform that exclusively featured pictures of her feet. On Friday, the “Smile” hitmaker revealed that her side hustle is more profitable than the royalties she receives as an artist on the streaming service.

“Imagine if you were an artist and had almost 8 million monthly listeners on Spotify, but you made more money if 1,000 people subscribed to pictures of your feet,” Allen wrote on X, formerly Twitter. “Don’t hate the player, hate the game.”

Allen made the revelation while replying to an X user who had made a comment on another post the singer shared.

On Friday, Allen posted a link to her OnlyFans account and then posted another post with four photos of her feet.

“I haven't posted anything in a while but you can still check out the archive,” she wrote alongside the feet photos.

“Imagine being one of Europe's biggest pop stars/musicians and then being reduced to that,” one X user commented.

After firing back at the commenter, Allen responded to another post shared by media outlet Pop Crave's X account.

The post featured an article from Billboard in which the outlet reported that Allen makes a significant income from her Spotify streams.

“According to a new Billboard article, Lily Allen makes about $4,077 a day from Spotify, which is $1.4 MILLION a year,” read the post, which also included a quote from the music website's history.

“$3,239 goes to the sound recording copyright holder, $336 in mechanical royalties goes to the publisher who pays the songwriter, and $503 in performance royalties goes to performance rights organizations,” the quote from Billboard reads.

Allen disputed the Billboard report in a comment on the Pop Crave X post.

“This is incredibly misleading, but I am not smart enough to explain how I earn a tiny percentage of what is quoted here,” the singer wrote. “You just have to trust me that neoliberal capitalism doesn’t care about artists getting paid for their work.”

Allen charges $10 per month for subscriptions to her OnlyFans account. She has shared 55 posts and her last upload was on September 27th.

In a June episode of her podcast “Miss Me,” Allen shared that her manicurist told her that the singer had achieved a high score on WikifFeet, a website dedicated to rating celebrities' feet.

“I have a lady who comes over and does my nails,” Allen told “Miss Me” co-host Miquita Oliver in an Instagram clip from the episode. “They told me I had five stars on WikiFeet, which is pretty rare. My feet are rated quite highly online.”

“She said I could make a lot of money selling foot content on OnlyFans,” Allen added. “And I say, 'Not no.'”

Allen announced on a July episode of “Miss Me” that she first opened her OnlyFans page, where she posted exclusively photos and videos of her feet.

The Grammy nominee said she had “strict guidelines” on the content she shared and that she “really enjoyed it.”

“How is your husband?” “Is he OK?” Oliver asked, referring to Allen’s spouse David Harbour, 49.

“Yes, that’s him. He thinks it's great,” Allen said of the “Stranger Things” star. “He wasn't turned on at first, but he was like, 'Is this a guy for you?' And I thought to myself, “No, that’s not a pervert at all,” but maybe there’s something about the power that’s a little perverted to me.

“I think attention and power will always be a lifelong issue for you,” Oliver quipped. “And we both just surf. So yeah, I bet you have a great time.”
