PAPER reported:
John Duff identifies as a sex clown, in his own words. When planning the video for his newest single, “Stick Up,” he wanted the creative to match, and so he approached Zain Curtis and Brett Loudermilk.
As Duff tells PAPER, he wanted a “video like Showgirls, but with male strippers, politics and murder.” Loudermilk and Curtis were more than willing to oblige.
The video comes with an accompanying version on OnlyFans, which Duff says was inspired by a chance encounter after performing at Chicago Pride this summer. “I got to perform for 8,000 people — but I ended up spending more money on the gig than I made,” he says. “Crazily, when I left the stage, an executive from OnlyFans was standing there, and basically told me to join. Is that God? I don’t know, but it made me question, ‘Why does struggling have more integrity than doing porn?’”
