Our Investigation

A recent news article highlighted the alarming trend of influencers and aspiring artists using platforms like OnlyFans to fund their music careers, by selling nude content. Upon further investigation, we found this practice rampant in the music industry amongst independent artists. The adage, "Everyone thinks they are a singer until they try and find out they are not," rings true, especially considering the financial burden of launching an independent music career. It seems some are turning to adult content or the promise of it, to gather funds to support their endeavors.

This led us to MeetMe, A streaming platform where we discovered Lauren Cruz, an avid streamer who boasts about her "successful" music career to an audience of mostly men. Lauren is a daily streamer on the app, mostly only showing a forehead or wall, but when she is on camera, she is often dressed provocatively to attract viewers. Her beauty draws in many, but her true scheme unfolds on platforms like Snapchat and Instagram. While streaming she will promote connecting with her on Snapchat and other social platforms. It's on Snapchat where we followed her instructions and sent a message simply saying "Hi" and she instantly made a startling offer: for $50, she promised a video call where she would perform explicit acts on herself and we could watch. Bingo! The very topic we were investigating had fallen right into our lap. We were excited to video chat with Lauren, tell her who we were, and find out why she was doing this type of behavior, So, despite our suspicions, we sent the money using Venmo, knowing we'd likely never see it again. Predictably, she ghosted us and her MeetMe status changed to "Going to the liquor store" almost immediately after we sent the funds.

Almost 24 hours later, When we requested a refund, she bluntly refused. After about a week of being ignored and her refusing to refund us, We then revealed our true identity as a journalist researching this topic and told Miss Cruz, we were going to write an article about this topic and include the experience we had with her, Her response? "Any publicity is good publicity." and "You might look like a gullible fool paying for nudes and being played out of them."

So we kept our word and wrote this article, not vaguely about the topics but directly about Miss Cruz, so our readers and those social media platforms hosting Lauren Cruz would be notified.

We urge you, our readers, to be vigilant against such scams. Do not support individuals like Lauren Cruz. Avoid downloading their music and speak out against such deceptive practices. Together, we can foster an entertainment industry where true talent and hard work prevail over-exploitation and deceit. Let's champion an industry built on authenticity and integrity, not on the exploitation of fans under negative pretenses.

To ensure you’re supporting genuine talent, be mindful of who you follow and support. Success in the entertainment industry should be about talent, hard work, and ethical practices. Not how much money you can make by scamming men to pay for your alcohol and your music "career".
