British musician Kate Nash (pic) has resorted to baring her bottom on OnlyFans to help fund her current tour.
The Brit Award winner announced Thursday the launch of her Butts 4 Tour Buses campaign on the first date of her European shows. A subscription to her OnlyFans costs US$9.99 per month, or 10% off with the purchase of a three-month bundle.
She wrote on Instagram that while “touring is the best job ever,” it typically “makes losses not profits.” Citing a recent survey about concert ticket sales, the 37-year-old chart-topper said the “majority of musicians and artistes are struggling to be able afford to actually play shows.”
“Costs of travel, accommodation, food, promotion and employees have also gone up in price but musicians are not seeing changes in their gig fees to help pay for all these rising costs,” Nash explained.
“So this Christmas I’m asking that you buy either a piece of my merch or my arse on my new ONLYFANS account @katenyash87 to support me paying great wages and putting on a high quality show as I will not sacrifice either of those things.”
The Foundations singer is just the latest music act joining the NSFW subscription platform to supplement their income. In July, fellow Brit Lily Allen launched an OnlyFans account to sell photos of her feet.
Across the pond, hip-hop personality Bhad Bhabie shared an earnings statement showing she’d brought in more than US$57mil on the platform over a three year period.
Other celebs including Cardi B, Tyga, Blac Chyna and former Disney star Bella Thorne have also cashed in on OnlyFans in recent years. – New York Daily News/Tribune News Service
