The hype around OnlyFans just got another boost as former Young Money rapper Tyga recently announced that he joined the premium content platform.
How does OnlyFans work?
In general terms, OnlyFans is a monetisation platform that allows content creators to gain profits from subscriptions. Users pay a monthly fee to access exclusive content of their favourite creator.
The bulk of the profits are made through add-ons. Meaning, a monthly subscription does not necessarily grant a user access to all of the creator’s content.
OnlyFans creators build an income on teasing content on the platform that users have to pay for to access.
Tyga joins x-rated platform: Heres what he does on it
Over the years, the platform has gained notoriety as the one-stop-shop for x-rated content, thanks, in part, to pornographers.
Musicians have also moved on to OnlyFans as a means of creating a new income stream. Casanova, Safaree and Cardi B are prime examples of artists who have branched out into this line of revenue.
Although, Safaree and his wife Erica Mena, purely use the platform to uploaded x-rated porn content.
Tyga is the latest high-profile celebrity to join OnlyFans. However, it seems that the move is a precursor to a music video that is dropping soon titled Money Mouf.
OnlyFans released a statement, explaining the partnership with the Rack City star:
“Tyga’s OnlyFans subscribers will be treated to exclusive behind the scenes content that is too hot for mainstream social media outlets, like an X-rated version of his video to support his upcoming single release, ‘Money Mouf’ with Saweetie and YG,” the statement read.
The man himself had a few things to say about this move, claiming that OnlyFans is the perfect platform for self-expression.
“This platform is a place of self-expression for everyone; from everyday people to models, sex workers, actors, and now artists like myself. I’m excited to launch my personal Only Fans.
“It’s a new platform where I can talk directly to my fans and give them exclusive music, pics, videos and other BTS of my latest releases. They can really see more inside my life than ever before, and an intimate look of what I do every day. It’s about to be lit,” he said
How much does Tyga charge for OnlyFans?
Already, the rapper has posted 42 videos and photos on his OnlyFans account. To access these, users must fork out a base monthly subscription of $20 (about R330).
