Nigerian OnlyFans Star Sephy Claims ₦20 Million Monthly

A Nigerian content creator who goes by the online moniker Persephone, or Sephy, has ignited national debate and international attention after revealing she earns more than ₦20 million (approximately $13,800 USD) monthly through subscription-based adult content.

In a viral post on the social media platform, Sephy claimed to have 700 subscribers, each paying ₦30,000 per month to access her exclusive content, most of which is presumed to be explicit.

Her earnings disclosure — accompanied by a screenshot showing approximately ₦22.2 million in gross income and ₦15.6 million in net profit — has been viewed more than 4 million times and has sparked widespread discussions on Nigeria’s evolving digital economy, generational shifts, and the morality of adult content creation.

“I have 700 people sending me 30k every month, and you want me to stop because you like me but you won’t compensate me? You must be very stupid,” Sephy posted on May 12, in response to a follower who urged her to leave the adult industry for romantic reasons.

While the screenshot appears to corroborate her earnings, which include revenue from subscriptions, tips, and digital purchases, there has been no independent verification of the financial data. Still, the disclosure has intensified a conversation long brewing in Nigeria about the burgeoning local adult content market, its legality, and the changing role of women in the country’s economy.

Sephy’s rise reflects a broader trend. Platforms like AllAccessFans, a Nigerian alternative to OnlyFans, launched in 2023, have paid out over ₦1.2 billion to content creators in under two years. Co-founded by Dapo Giwa and Ife Omai, the platform takes a 20–30% commission from creators’ earnings and supports payments in both naira and foreign currencies.

The industry has proved especially appealing to Generation Z women in Nigeria, who face significant employment and income inequality. According to national data, women make up nearly 70% of Nigeria’s poorest population. For some, adult content creation offers both income and independence, even as it clashes with the country’s conservative social norms.

“Where there’s demand, I shall supply,” Sephy wrote in another post, signaling her unapologetic embrace of the adult content market.

However, with opportunity comes risk. Content creators face threats of piracy, online harassment, and societal backlash. A recent media exposé titled “Desperate Nigerian Girls Turn to Selling Nudes for Cash” was criticized for compromising creators’ anonymity, sparking renewed concern over digital privacy and freedom of expression.
