‘Anora’ Artist Announces Bold OnlyFans Move: 'Not Just Content, It's An Experience'

Musician and visual provocateur Brooke Candy is entering a bold new chapter in her career, one where she calls all the shots.

Known for her raw, sexually-charged lyrics and genre-pushing aesthetic, Candy, whose track "Drip" appears in the Oscar-winning stripper drama "Anora," has officially joined subscription platform OnlyFans in an effort to bypass the restrictions and censorship she says have long plagued her work on more traditional platforms.

“With this new chapter on OnlyFans, I finally have a space where I can share my vision freely, without judgment,” Candy told Page Six. “For years, I’ve had to work around censorship on platforms that weren’t designed for artists like me, those who break the mold, celebrate sexuality, and push artistic limits. But I’ve never been one to conform or dilute my artistry to fit within someone else’s boundaries.”

While OnlyFans has become best known as a hub for adult content, Candy’s offering appears to be a multifaceted artistic project, one that blends eroticism, performance art, and immersive digital experiences.

“I’ve spent months collaborating with an incredible team to build something truly special, something bold, immersive, and completely uncensored,” she said. “This isn’t just content; it’s an experience. I can’t wait for people to see what we’ve created and to finally share my art in a space where authenticity, freedom, and artistry are celebrated without restrictions.”

A frequent collaborator with names like Charli XCX and Grimes, Candy has also taught performance art at NYU and partnered with institutions like the Brooklyn Museum and MOCA in Los Angeles.

She’s long been vocal about the need for space where experimental and sex-positive artists can thrive without being penalized by algorithmic content filters or public backlash.

Candy has never shied away from bold visuals, unfiltered self-expression, and a fierce sense of identity, so it’s no surprise the genre-bending artist has found a deep connection with the drag community.

Known for her avant-garde style and unapologetically subversive presence online, Candy has cultivated a strong following among fans of "RuPaul’s Drag Race," and she’s proudly leaning into the mutual admiration.

In 2019, the singer tapped queens Gia Gunn and Laganja Estranja to perform alongside her at the GayVN Awards, cementing her place as a beloved figure within the LGBTQ+ performance sphere.

“Their confidence and sense of humor inspires me the most,” Candy told Billboard at the time, praising a star-studded list of her favorite queens, including Latrice Royale, Violet Chachki, Aquaria, Trixie Mattel, and Katya. “Their talent and artistic flair is incomparable. How many people do you know that can beat their face, attach a lace front, sew their own outfit, dance and perform, have a level of charisma and still do it stunningly? That is beyond.”

One of Candy’s most serendipitous drag-adjacent moments came courtesy of "Drag Race" season 11 contestant Mercedes Iman Diamond, whose now-iconic declaration, “Opulence, you own everything!” echoed the title of Candy’s 2014 high-energy single, “Opulence.” The phrase, originally from the legendary ballroom documentary "Paris Is Burning," found new life on reality TV and sent Candy’s track back into the spotlight.

“It was really nice!” she said of the viral moment, which led to a spike in downloads and an influx of Instagram followers. “I really want the world, every gender, person, human and alien, to take notice of the craft I have and create daily.”

The provocative pop performer, known for her boundary-pushing aesthetic and unapologetic lyrics, grew up surrounded by the world of adult media. Her father served as the CFO of Hustler magazine, and Candy says that early exposure to the publication’s unapologetically sexual world had a lasting impact on her artistic persona.

“I was around Larry Flynt and a lot of very sexy and beautiful women all the time, they were total icons,” Candy told Billboard.

She credits that environment with introducing her to powerful women who owned their sexuality and mystique without apology.

“I’ve always idolized women like Marilyn Monroe, Jayne Mansfield, Traci Lords and Lil Kim; women who wore their sexuality and feminine mystique on their shoulders with no shame and total grace,” she said.
