This is called “staying true to the brand.”
Following her raunchy hit single “WAP,” Cardi B has joined the online subscription service OnlyFans, which has become a popular platform among sex workers for sharing exclusive NSFW content. However, the rapper has stated that she will not be sharing such material on her account. Instead, she will post “behind-the-scenes content” there, including from the filming of the “WAP” music video, “address ongoing rumors, give insight into her personal life, connect more closely with her fans, and more,” according to a press release.
Cardi first floated the idea on Twitter on Sunday, writing, “Could get rich on OnlyFans like my young friend Rubi,” a reference to fellow rapper Rubi Rose, who made $100,000 on OnlyFans in just two days by posting photos that were already available on her Instagram. (Respect the effort.)
Maybe get rich on Onlyfans like my young girl Rubi, maybe jerk my Nikka cock on camera with my boobs… I need a damn good beat. I want to rap today.

Apparently Cardi had some trouble finding her way around the service, but she quickly dropped the subscription price from the standard $10 to $4.99 per month.
How the hell do I go live on OnlyFans? Wtfff

Um, I didn’t know my OnlyFans was ten bucks… I’m reducing it to 4.99. You guys spend too much on vinyls and my merch is coming next week
