Singer Lily Allen has revealed that she makes more money from selling pictures of her feet than she does from her music.
The 'Smile' composer has always been candid about different aspects of her life, particularly when it comes to her love life and personal happenings, but this is a new one.
Whether you like it or not, OnlyFans can be a lucrative source of income, especially if you’re a singer or actor as fans will come in droves to see the exclusive content for themselves.
While a lot of users on the platform use it to post behind-the-scenes snaps of their work, life and day-to-day interactions, others use it to get down and dirty.

Allen decided on the latter but not in the conventional way.
We know there are those out there who just can’t get enough of feet, and it seems she’s cashing in on the market.
Having only been on the site for a few months, the 39-year-old singer-songwriter shared on Twitter yesterday (October 25) that her pictures of her feet have made more money than anything else she’s currently doing.
“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,” Allen wrote.
Her revelation was in response to a negative nelly online who’d commented on a post which advertised her OnlyFans account.
The user wrote: “Imagine being one of the biggest pop stars/musicians in Europe and then being reduced to this.”
Allen then added: “Don’t hate the player, hate the game.”
Her fans felt the same way, with one sharing: “Selling foot pics is nothing to be ashamed of. It pays all my bills. Get that money, girl.”
Someone else chimed in: “For 10 grand a month I would share pictures of my actual soul.”
Allen’s OnlyFans page costs $10 to subscribe to, which could see her making around $10,000 each month thanks to her subscribers.
The musician set up her account in July after finding out that she’d become pretty popular on wikiFeet - a site dedicated to posting snaps of celebrities' feet.
Speaking on her Miss Me? podcast, Allen shared: “I have a lady that comes and does my nails.
“She said that I could make a lot of money from selling foot content on OnlyFans. And I’m like, ‘Not no.’”
But when she spoke to her Stranger Things hubby David Harbour about it, she had to clear a few things up before deciding to make a career out of it.
Allen said: “Yeah, he is, he thinks it’s great.
“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.”
It seems like the singer is the one laughing at any haters now as she’s got cash in the bank and her feet can provide her money for years, as long as foot lovers continue to subscribe to her.
