    OnlyFans is a subscription-based service that allows creators to charge for content. Initially, it was mainly used by models and sex workers; however, account holders have grown to include celebrities and other public figures.

    Although Karrueche has seemingly had her account for a while now, many became aware of it this week after she shared a new promotional photo.

    The post received backlash immediately and also some speculation over her financial situation. One person tweeted, "Joe Biden's America has Karrueche selling feet pics. HOW IS THE AVERAGE AMERICAN SUPPOSED TO SURVIVE?"

    Karrueche appeared to respond in a now-deleted comment, saying she's not going broke — she's just making a "smart play."

    "LOL at all the comments regarding OF. I'm not going broke.. just a smart play," she allegedly wrote.

    "Foot fetish is the number one fetish in the world," Karrueche continued. "There's nothing sexual that will be on my page. It's literally feet and if people are willing to pay, then what's the problem."

    But that also sparked a whole new round of backlash as people argued that content created for people with foot fetishes is sexual.

    "That’s sex work…nothing wrong with it. Just call it what it is," one person tweeted.

    "Everybody wants to do sex worker until folks start calling it sex work," another one mused.

    "Sounds like a form of sex work to me," a third comment read in part.

    I mean if she's purposely posting her feet with the intention of somebody getting off to it...that sounds like a form of sex work to me. https://t.co/q6TZfOaCCC pic.twitter.com/Mqg3M9us9X
