In January 2023, Australian rapper Iggy Azalea joined the adult platform OnlyFans and quickly rose to the top of the charts. In her first year of making content for fans, she reportedly made an incredible $48 million.
She chose to leave the platform, switch to Telegram, and launch a new cryptocurrency even though she was making a lot of money and her notoriety was growing rapidly.
In her Unchained Podcast, she gave Laura Shin the explanations. “I think these two platforms are very similar to each other,” she said in the podcast.
As she put it, “I think a lot of people would not want to hear it in a way because they think that OnlyFans is so sexually deviant, and obviously a lot of it is.”
However, she continued, “a lot of it isn’t, so for me to say what I’m going to say right now and say it’s really not that different.”
“I have no doubt that many people would prefer to believe they are very different from those who use OnlyFans.” The vocalist of Fancy clarified.
That her experience on OnlyFans was merely a “learning experience,” adding that she had “experience cultivating communities.” She revealed that the sole reason she founded.
The adult platform was to establish a multi-channel platform and to have the ability to upload explicit images that Instagram would not permit. “I couldn’t finish that because I ended up getting really sick,”
“However, I did discover that a greater number of my people, with whom I would communicate on a daily basis, appeared to prefer friendship or regular human contact over transactional relationships.”
She clarified that her first decision to join Telegram was prompted by Instagram fans messaging her to express they couldn’t pay to subscribe to her material.
