    What’s fun is that some people who read this article are probably into feet (good for them!) so it’s like an ad and now she’ll probably make even more on onlyfans. While still making ludicrously little from spotify.

      While still making ludicrously little from spotify.

      “Allen’s daily Spotify earnings are $4,077, or about $1.4 million per year.”

      If that’s “ludicrously little”, I want to be as poor as she.

          What’s her cut of that?

          I don’t know, you made the comment that she’s “making ludicrously little from spotify”, so you should know.

          Also, nobody should care because: “Allen’s most recent album, No Shame, dropped in 2018.” Those are royalties for doing no work since then. She got paid handsomely by the record company for the distribution rights. She gets paid handsomely whenever she’s on concert. Ongoing royalties are a BS concept.

              You have a point, but remember that musicians aren’t getting an hourly wage when they record an album.

              Also, major record companies seriously screw artists. They give them an advance, which is basically a loan, that is supposed to include the costs of recording the album. If the album tanks, the artist is in debt to the record company. It’s ruined people who’s debut album didn’t chart.
