Overview
- Minaj opened the paid tier on X offering exclusive posts, subscriber-only audio Spaces and a visible subscriber badge for $10 per month.
- Early reporting estimated about 1,100 paying subscribers shortly after the rollout, which would translate to roughly $11,000 in monthly recurring revenue at the stated price.
- Reaction online was sharply mixed with die‑hard fans posting subscription screenshots and praising access while many other users mocked the move and questioned her motives and finances.
- 24/7 Productions has sued over about $275,149.62 in alleged unpaid production costs and Minaj’s lawyers have asked a judge to dismiss claims that she is personally liable, saying contracts were with her company.
- The launch uses X’s Creator Subscriptions framework that gives creators a high revenue share and fits a wider industry shift of artists seeking direct, recurring pay from fans.
