In less than a year on OnlyFans, Iggy Azalea has reportedly amassed a staggering $48 million, solidifying her status as one of the platform's highest earners. According to a report by adult company LELO, Iggy's financial success on OnlyFans surpasses that of other prominent artists, with Cardi B coming in at $45 million.
Iggy's decision to join OnlyFans initially surprised many, as she had previously vowed never to join the platform. In January, she announced her foray into OnlyFans on Emily Ratajkowski's podcast, "High Low." Iggy candidly shared her motivation, expressing frustration over not receiving adequate compensation for the use of her body and ideas in the past. "I've made a lot of people so much money off my body, and I got the smallest cut off my own f***ing body. And my own work, and my own ideas," she stated.
Elaborating on her decision with Variety, Iggy highlighted her realization that OnlyFans could be a platform for creative expression beyond its stereotypical associations. She described it as the perfect space to launch a multimedia concept.
Iggy's reported earnings demonstrate the significant financial potential for artists on OnlyFans, challenging preconceptions about the platform. Her success places her at the forefront of a new wave of creators who leverage OnlyFans not just for explicit content but as a versatile platform for artistic endeavors.
The LELO report also unveiled earnings from other artists, showcasing Tyga at $20 million, Amber Rose at $26 million, Chris Brown at $15 million, and DJ Khaled and Fat Joe at $4 million. Iggy's financial triumph serves as a testament to the evolving landscape of digital platforms and the opportunities they provide for artists to reclaim control over their work and earnings.
