Beyoncé and the Savage

Recently, Meg released a remix of the song “Savage,” adding Beyoncé to the hit track. Immediately after the release of the remix, the track became a trending topic all over the web. On top of this, there have been many benefits from the production and release of the “Savage” remix. In the remix, Beyoncé shouted out OnlyFans, which is a social media website that allows their users to set up a paywall on their profiles. “Hips tick tock when I dance (Dance) / On that Demon time, she might start an OnlyFans (OnlyFans).” As a result, OnlyFans found that there was a 15 percent spike in traffic on the website. OnlyFans told Rolling Stones that, “Beyonce, and any artist, are welcome to join OnlyFans at any time to foster a deeper connection with their fans.”
