Short answer: Tyga joined OnlyFans in September 2020 “as an experiment”, told Forbes in August 2021 that he had made “several million” dollars on it, then deleted his account within a day of OnlyFans announcing a ban on sexually explicit content, and said he would launch a rival platform, Myystar. This page sticks to what Forbes and other outlets reported.
How he got on OnlyFans
Forbes reported on August 20, 2021 that Tyga joined the site in September 2020 “as an experiment” and three months later launched a talent management company, TooRaww, which by then had more than two dozen clients. In his words to Forbes: “I pay attention to the culture. I’ve always liked to be on the pulse and see what everybody’s feeling. It was just curiosity.”
What was reported about his earnings
Tyga would not disclose his OnlyFans earnings to Forbes, but confirmed he had made several million dollars from his $20-a-month subscriptions. Forbes added that Influencer Marketing Hub, which compiles data from various sources, listed him as the fourth top earner behind Blac Chyna, Bella Thorne and Cardi B, at about $8 million to date. Forbes said it could not verify those numbers. AfroTech repeated the ranking on August 23, 2021. Treat the $8 million figure as an unverified estimate and “several million” as his own statement.
Why he left
OnlyFans announced in August 2021 that it would ban sexually explicit content. Just 24 hours later, Forbes reported, Tyga deleted his account and announced Myystar, a subscription platform due in October that would allow explicit content and take a 10 percent cut of creator earnings. On Instagram he wrote that he had deleted his account to start his own platform with “better quality and only 10% fee.” Myystar also planned to host podcasters, comedians, athletes and musicians, and to let creators sell NFTs.
