And she has sensationally claimed to have earned more money from her first week on the content website than from her entire basketball career.
“I feel like women gotta make more money playing the sport they love,’ Camabge told TMZ.
“I think everyone has gotta get it how they can … as I’m standing here in a mink.”
“Just be you. Stick to your personality,” she added.
“I feel like back in the day, there wasn’t an opportunity or a space for women to be who they are, but now, I feel like women being more girly or earning their sexuality more, and it’s fun.”
The former Los Angeles Sparks star she is believed to be earning over $1million per year from OnlyFans.
That is over five times the supermax in the WNBA – which is just over $200,000 per year.
It comes amid the possibility of a STRIKE in the WNBA – with next season not guaranteed.
The league’s CBA is set to expire soon, and there is all sorts of drama brewing among players and executives.
The WNBA players launched a war against WNBA leadership, with Minnesota Lynx star Napheesa Collier reading a statement tearing apart commissioner Cathy Engelbert.
“We have the best players in the world, we have the best fans in the world, but right now we have the worst leadership in the world,” Collier said.
“The real threat to our league isn’t money, it isn’t ratings or even missed calls or even physical play.
“It’s the lack of accountability from the league office.”
In the statement, Collier spoke about leadership, officiating, and even made a claim that Engelbert took credit for Caitlin Clark‘s sponsorships.
Clark backed up Collier in the media on Thursday, speaking about how important a crossroads the WNBA is at right now.
“This is straight up the most important moment in this league’s history, where this league’s been around for 25-plus years, and this is a moment we have to capitalize on,” Clark said Thursday.
“So that’s honestly what I would say. Phee said it all, what she said and the points she made.”
The WNBA CBA is set to expire on October 31, and no progress has been made on coming up with a new agreement.
“Like I said, we are in the biggest moment in WNBA history,” Clark continued.
“There’s no denying that. Everybody knows that and everybody that’s in a place of power has a true responsibility and even myself, we have a responsibility to make sure that this game is in a great place going forward with the CBA and caring for our players.
“And building this league to make sure it’s in a great spot for many years to come.”
