OnlyFans and Iggy Azalea's Health Challenges
Australian rapper Iggy Azalea recently shared insights into her successful yet challenging time managing her OnlyFans account while dealing with health issues. Azalea revealed that she continued her work on the platform even while undergoing medical treatment, at times removing a Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC) line to create content for her followers.
Transforming Challenges into Opportunities
"I turned lemons into lemonade with that. I really did," Azalea said in an interview with ABC News. Despite the difficulties, she maintained a prolific presence on OnlyFans. "I'm no fool. I've been paid before I even made the profile. I was the top for that year. I barely, honestly, didn’t have to do much," she remarked, emphasizing her strategic approach to content creation and monetization on the platform.
Financial Implications and Career Movements
While there were reports that Azalea earned $48 million from her OnlyFans tenure, the rapper clarified that these figures were exaggerated and did not reflect her actual earnings, which she described only as "life-changing." The substantial revenue from OnlyFans enabled her to invest in new business ventures.
In 2024, Azalea decided to end her activities on OnlyFans and shifted her focus to other entrepreneurial projects. She cofounded Unreal Mobile, a wireless provider, and launched her own cryptocurrency, $MOTHER. This transition marks a significant pivot in her career toward greater autonomy and control over her business endeavors.
Looking Forward: Azalea's Career Autonomy
Reflecting on her decade-long career, Azalea expressed a strong desire to manage her professional life more independently. "It feels really good to be able to do it," she concluded, highlighting her journey towards reclaiming control in her various business pursuits.
