Free Rides on Detroit People Mover, Tupac Posthumous Album Coming, Katt Williams vs Ludacris

Hear Shannon's Scoop Monday through Friday at 6:50 AM and 8:50 AM on The Morning Bounce

Ride Around Detroit Free on The People Mover

I think I highlighted this in the Scoop before, but a reminder that the rides on the People Mover downtown are free this year. They're hoping that it's going to drive people back to ride it, and the number of rides have actually doubled since last year, but are still about 50% less than pre-pandemic numbers. I just don't know that they're going to get that high again, because a lot of people rode the People Mover when they were going to work downtown and a lot of people are still working from home, at least in part. Hopefully it does increase ridership.

They are going to be doing some major renovations as well ahead of the NFL Draft. Like adding new cameras and PA systems and TV screens and like interactive little kiosks and stuff. They'll be working on all that through March, so you might see some stops closed along the route. Riding the People Mover is a lot of fun, especially if it's free. I used to take my daughter Lauren when she was little and I have a great picture of her at one of the stops and she was just like, 'This is my city!' I would just take her around and she could see everything and you know, it's an awesome experience.

New Tupac Album in The Works

Tupac fans are in store for a new posthumous album. I'm a fan and I'm waiting for this. And you'll never guess who it's being put together by? None other than Katt Williams. He did an interview on Suge Knight's Collect Call podcast and revealed that Cardi B will be one of the 8 featured artists on the album. During the interview, Suge called Cardi the "Female Tupac". Which is an interesting statement. I'm a Cardi B fan and I love her but don't know if I'd say she's the female Tupac. I don't know how much of her stuff Cardi actually writes, and to me, Tupac is one of the most amazing lyricists. We'll see.

Katt Williams and Ludacris Trade Diss Tracks About One Another

Speaking of Katt Williams, in that interview that he did with Suge Knight, he actually made a diss track for Ludacris. Now, this back and forth started with him and Ludacris began when he was on Club Shay Shay, Shannon Sharpe's podcast show, earlier this month. Katt claimed that Ludacris landed his role in the "Fast and Furious" franchise by making a deal with Illuminati. And I don't know if he was joking, but Ludacris didn't seem to take it as a joke. He responded with a freestyle rap that was posted online, and now Katt responded with a rap of his own. You can hear both Luda and Katt's raps (and decide who did it better) in this video... https://youtu.be/12oU0Cs5x18?si=TWTrChl6WLzHGAO6

The experts at luxury sex toy brand LELO did some digging to find out which big-name stars are making money the most money on OnlyFans. The 18+ content subscription service based in London is used primarily by sex workers who produce adult content, but it also hosts the work of other content creators, such as physical fitness experts, comedians, professional athletes, and musicians. OnlyFans charges creators a fee of twenty percent of all fan payments made. The remaining eighty percent is payable to the creators, called "Creator Earnings." According to their site, the fee includes the "costs of providing, maintaining and operating OnlyFans and storing your Content."

Celebrities have come and gone on OnlyFans. Just last year, Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee launched his OnlyFans, charging fans $19.99 a month for access to "THAT D---!!!!" As we previously reported, the rocker shared a random nude photo to his social media channels prior to his Only Fans dropping. A few months prior to that, Baywatch alum Carmen Electra launched her OnlyFans. She said the subscription-based platform hosts some of her most exciting work to date. "It’s intense and very empowering. It’s so self-empowering," Electra said. "And creatively, I’ve always had so many fun and creative ideas, and there’s been times when I’ve been able to follow through with those with different projects I’m working on." She has two pages, creating a secondary account exclusively for VIPs. One of the most recent celebrities to have joined OnlyFans is Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards' daughter, Sami Sheen. The 19-year-old shared over the summer, “I’m a sex worker." She also revealed she plans to get a breast augmentation and will continue to censor her nipples on OnlyFans until that is complete.

Factors that LELO looked into include: How much each celebrity has earned, the monthly fees they charge, and the frequency of online searches.

See below the top 10 celebrity earners on OnlyFans:

Kicking off the top 10 most-earned by celebrities on OnlyFans are the duo DJ Khaled and Fat Joe. While they offer a free subscription, their earnings are close to $4 million! The stars aim to guide fans to “the light” while sharing uplifting insights and behind-the-scenes of their personal lives.

Austin Mahone places ninth with $5 million in earnings on OnlyFans, which also offers a free subscription. The 27-year-old pop singer-songwriter has a VIP program that includes free conversations, future postings, custom content requests, and Zoom calls to people who tip him $100.

Chris Brown is ranked eighth with $15 million in total earnings since he created an OnlyFans account in 2020. The "Look At Me Now" artist announced he would charge $20 monthly for subscription-only content but ultimately deleted his account. Fans who subscribed to his account saw that Brown previewed unreleased music.

In the seventh spot is Pia Mia, who earned $18 million. Offering a free subscription, the "Do It Again" singer posted her never-seen-before pictures, videos, and some private content on OnlyFans before she deleted the account.

Tyga ranks sixth with a total earning of $20 million and a monthly subscription fee of $20. The "Freaky Deaky" rapper set up his OnlyFans account after one of his private photos was leaked and went viral, but eventually deleted it to launch Myystar after the platform announced in 2021 that it would no longer host sexually explicit content.

Amber Rose is rounding out the top five top celebrity earners, with a total revenue of $26 million. The model and rapper teased fans with booty-centric Instagram clips. She promised they would "see EVERYTHING" for a $9 monthly subscription fee on OnlyFans.

Bella Thorne is in fourth place, with a total earnings of $32 million. The former Disney star offered a free subscription plan. She earned a record-breaking $1 million within just 24 hours of joining OnlyFans.

Blac Chyna rounds out the top three with total earnings of $35 million. The former stripper-turned-reality star charged $19.99 monthly for her subscription, which included special X-rated content and “Foot-Freek Mondays.” Her account also boasted 28,000 worldwide searches; however, she deactivated it her account in March.

Cardi B is in second, with $45 million in total earnings. The hip-hop artist offered her content for a monthly subscription fee of $4.99. Cardi B's OnlyFans account is still one of the most sought-after on the platform, with 28,000 worldwide searches. In her 2020 announcement of launching the account, the "Bongos" rapper said she would be posting behind-the-scenes footage and her "day to day content," no explicit images, but a place "for only me and my fans."

Taking the top spot in celebrity earners on OnlyFans is Australian rapper Iggy Azalea. The "Fancy" rapper comes in first with a total earning of $48 million. She charges a $25 monthly subscription fee for access to her content. In addition to her revenue, her account receives much attention, with 127,000 worldwide searches.
