Iggy Azalea has been retired from music for nearly a year now, and in that time has become one of the top content creators on OnlyFans, while also releasing a meme coin, MOTHER. While she reportedly makes multiple millions of dollars each month on OnlyFans, the MOTHER price has been an up-and-down rollercoaster.
Like many celebrity meme coins, MOTHER is down over -95% from its all-time high. However, unlike the others, it still holds a multi-million dollar market cap while also processing over $500,000 in daily trading volume.

Iggy Azalea’s Reason For Leaving Music For Crypto And OnlyFans
Azalea’s distancing from her rap career came in January 2023 after experiencing what she described as a “life-changing” financial success after launching an OnlyFans account, where she developed and published “Hotter Than Hell,” a year-long multimedia concept packed with collabs with visual artists and a coffee table book.
By the end of 2024, Azalea had officially retired from the music business due to the massive success of her OnlyFans endeavor. Around that time, the former rapper was reportedly in the subscription platform’s top 10 creators as estimates surfaced that she’d made as much as $48 million in revenue during 2024.
In a recent appearance on ABC’s Nightline program, Azalea said, “Yeah, of course there are parts of music that I miss. Sometimes I’ll have the itch, like I need to get in the studio,” but went on to say, “I don’t want to be a slave to that cycle of promotion, concert, music, industry, politics, having to share more of myself than what I’m comfortable with. It’s one thing to sacrifice those things when it’s just you, but I would also be signing my son up to sacrifice those things.”
Azalea had a child with rapper Playboy Carti in 2020, and the birth of her son, Onyx Carter, played a big part in her decision to leave the music industry and pivot to her new role as a self-described “crypto entrepreneur.”
MOTHER Meme Coin Was Birthed Following A Scam Coin Being Launched Using Azalea’s Name
Iggy Azalea first entered the crypto space after a scammer launched a crypto token using her name, IGGY, which quickly rug-pulled her community. Azalea distanced herself from the scam coin but promptly launched her own token on the Solana blockchain called Mother Iggy (MOTHER).
The former rapper said her newfound motherhood inspired the name choice for her token, and she actively worked to distance herself from the “pump and dump” nature of many celebrity cryptocurrencies.
To put her words into action, Azalea co-founded Unreal Mobile, where customers can, to this day, use her MOTHER token to purchase phones and monthly cell phone plans.

Then, in September 2024, she launched an online crypto casino called Motherland, which is powered by the MOTHER token. The casino offers typical online casino games such as slots, roulette, blackjack, and more, and is part of her broader strategy to build a far-reaching community while providing utility for the coin.
“It seemed to me that, especially with meme tokens, they were central to virality, and that really interests me, obviously,” Azalea told the host during her ABC Nightline appearance. When it comes to virality, she added, “I think I have been pretty successful at it.”
“I think a big part of the last ten years of my life, honestly, has been about getting that control back for me: to be able to navigate my own ship in those ways,” Azalea added. “It feels really good to be able to do it. I’m living the dream. I think I like to make a little bit of chaos. I always will.”
Is MOTHER Price Gearing Up For A Comeback?
While other celebrity meme coins have died completely, the MOTHER price is still holding relatively strong. Jason Derulo, for example, peaked with a market cap of $35 million and today is valued at $115,000, representing a decline of over 99% from those highs.
This is the case with all of the high-profile celebrity tokens that launched over the past 18 months. All of them process less than $100 in daily volume, further highlighting how dead these meme coins are. Hawk Tuah (HAWK), the coin launched by Hailey Welch, is another example, down 99% from the highs and just $115 in daily volume.

And while Welch and Derulo have distanced themselves from their tokens, cashing in and leaving the community in tatters, Iggy Azalea continues to push the MOTHER token. The aforementioned utility for the token goes a long way in keeping the meme coin relevant and the trading volume respectable.
MOTHER has a respectable market cap of nearly $10 million and, more impressively, is still managing over half a million dollars in daily trading volume.
While MOTHER is a Solana token and mostly traded on-chain, it is also available on Gate.io, MEXC, and some smaller centralized exchanges. With the continued push by Iggy Azalea for her token, it looks set to continue climbing in price as the market continues to heat up.
Currently trading for $0.0097, it remains to be seen whether MOTHER’s price can reclaim its June 2024 all-time high of $0.23, but one thing is for certain: if not, it won’t be due to a lack of effort on Azalea’s part.
BONUS: Snorter Bot (SNORT) Is The Perfect Trading Tool To Find The Next MOTHER Coin
Snorter Bot (SNORT) is entering a market with limited competition, as BONK crypto stands alone, being the only meme coin with a revenue-generating Telegram trading bot in its arsenal.
With BONK currently valued at over $2 billion, there is a tremendous opportunity for a project like SNORT to establish itself within the BONK Bot user base.
To facilitate this, the Snorter Bot will launch with industry-leading fees of only 0.85% for holders of the SNORT token, which is more affordable than BONK Bot and all other Telegram trading tools.
If SNORT captures just 20% of the BONK crypto user base, it would result in a market capitalization of $400 million and more than $10 million in annual revenue.
However, there are strong reasons to believe that the Snorter Bot can achieve even greater success. Given its rapid trading speeds and competitive fees, it would not be surprising to see it rise to the number one position in the market in the near future.
Although SNORT will initially only be available for Solana, the bot has multi-chain capabilities. Expanding to other major blockchains, including BNB Smart Chain (BSC), Base, and Ethereum, can be easily added later.
This is another advantage for Snorter Bot compared to BONK Bot, as the latter operates solely on Solana, which means Snorter Bot has a high chance of eventually eclipsing BONK Bot’s $60+ million annual revenue.
The Snorter Bot presale also offers 142% APY for investors who choose to lock up their tokens. This gives investors the perfect opportunity to earn free SNORT tokens while waiting for the ICO to conclude.
There are just over 2 hours until the SNORT presale advances to the next price stage, giving interested traders one final chance to secure SNORT at $0.1011 before the price increases.
