Piper Rockelle has been making content for social media for years and has now started an OnlyFans page to a mixed reception from fans.

Piper Rockelle has been known to her fans for almost a decade, as the 18-year-old has been making content for YouTube since she was just 8.

The child star started her career with her mother Tiffany Smith, before later starting an influencer group of teenagers known as the ‘Piper Squad’.

While you might not be familiar with her videos, her reach has been undeniable as she has amassed over 12 million subscribers on her YouTube channel, while being equally successful on other social media platforms. She currently has more than 18 million followers on TikTok and 6.6 million in Instagram.

But after turning 18 in August, Piper seemingly made a decision that has resulted in a mix reception from her fans who have been following her for years.

On January 1, 2026, Rockelle opened an OnlyFans account and in the first 24 hours of launching the account, made more than $3.4 million.

Ahead of launching the page, she had been promoting it on her social media accounts with her X bio stating, ‘the link drops on January 1’.

As well as this, on December 30, Rockelle shared a video on her Instagram page with her grandmother and asked her how much money she predicts she will make on January 1.

Her grandmother didn’t hesitate as she answered: “I think the number that's coming in my head is 2 million."

Rockelle responded, "2 million?" to which her grandmother replied, "Yes, ma’am."

Revealing just how she managed to exceed these numbers in a now removed post, Rockelle said on X: “We broke the record!!! $1,000,000 in less than an hour, you guys are the best, thank you for changing my life.”

She then showed an Onlyfans breakdown that showed how much she allegedly made via subscriptions, tips etc.

Despite Rockelle, appreciation, some of her fans have spoken out against the move.

One user wrote: “Extremely disturbing folk that watch child youtubers and spend money on OFs subs as soon as they turn legal age.

“All the weird men in here happy but what about when she was 17, y’all nasty asses was just waiting for her to be freshly of age.”

Another wrote: “This is disgusting, especially the teen girls doing this just out of high school or still in.”

With another simply writing: "I can’t believe this is the Piper I looked up to.”

However, some have praised her for the success she has had.

One user commented: “About to make millions showing IG-type content.”

Another added: ”I wish you so well, happiness, health and success!! You are working your butt off and deserve it!! Happy New Year!!!”
