British singer Lily Allen, renowned for her hits like “Smile” and “LDN,” has taken a surprising step from the concert stage to the world of foot modeling on OnlyFans.

With a subscriber fee of £8 per month, Allen’s foot-focused content has proven more profitable than her music career, as the unconventional side-hustle, reportedly earns her an estimated $10,000 (£7,715) monthly.

Lily Allen’s foray into foot modelling isn’t entirely out of the blue. Her impressive 5/5 rating on the foot appreciation website Wikifeet provided the initial spark, as fans of the site flocked to admire her soles. Recognising a niche demand, Allen seized the opportunity to monetise her popularity in a way few expected. In July, she debuted her OnlyFans account with a playful Instagram post captioned, “la dolce feeta,” featuring a sunlit snapshot of her bare feet while vacationing in Italy. The playful post, along with her growing Wikifeet fame, set her OnlyFans venture in motion.

While her monthly Spotify listeners number in the millions, Allen disclosed that her foot pics on OnlyFans currently generate more income than her streaming royalties. In response to a user on X (formerly Twitter) who criticised her shift, Allen replied, “Imagine being an artist and having nearly 8 million monthly listeners on Spotify but earning more money from having 1,000 people subscribe to pictures of your feet.”

Following their exchange, website PopCrave speculated that she could be making around $1.4 million (£1 million) annually on Spotify, to which Allen pushed back, describing the estimate as “incredibly misleading” and highlighting how most artists receive only a small cut of what platforms report. She urged fans to “trust me that neoliberal capitalism doesn’t care about artists being paid for their work,” underscoring her advocacy for fair artist compensation.

Allen’s decision to start an OnlyFans account isn’t just about income—it’s about reclaiming control. Speaking on Miquita Oliver’s podcast in July, she described her new venture as “quite empowering,” noting that for years, others had profited from her image and the ways she was sexualised. Now, by setting her own boundaries, she finds satisfaction in this quirky, self-directed endeavour. “Having been very sexualised from a very early age, and literally everybody else in the process profiting from that sexualisation, it’s actually really fun to be in power and in control of something that I find so silly,” Allen explained.

Though her OnlyFans account is flourishing, Allen remains clear about what she’s willing to offer: feet and nothing more. Requests for “bespoke content” have come flooding in, with fans seeking various foot-centric poses and shots. However, she draws the line at toe-spreading, stating, “Believe me, these guys are all up in my DMs telling me they want bespoke content and asking me for all kinds of crazy stuff, and I take such pleasure in just saying, only feet, don’t even go there—this is a foot-only page.”

Lily Allen’s husband, Stranger Things star David Harbour, has been a supportive partner in her OnlyFans venture, though he was initially curious about her motivations. She joked that he thought it might be a personal kink, but Allen clarified that it’s about power, not passion. “He thinks it’s great,” Allen shared with Oliver. “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.”

As she continues to redefine her public persona, Allen has responded candidly to the criticism her side-hustle has generated. “Don’t hate the player, hate the game,” she tweeted, brushing off critics who struggle to understand why an artist of her status would have an OnlyFans.
