Sophie Rain is officially beefing with NBA player Michael Porter Jr.
During a recent livestream with David Dobrik, Rain revealed that she has made $82 million in the past year and a half off subscriptions, and earns nearly as much as LeBron James on a yearly basis.
“I almost made more than LeBron last year. He made 56 million. I made 43.”

While streaming with PlaqueBoyMax, Porter was in shock and called out “lame” men giving Rain money.
“I mean, to me, it’s kinda lame that dudes is giving her $50ms, bro,” Porter said. “And it be dudes that probably got wives and kids and they’re over there in their little rooms being weird. To me, that’s wild.”
Duing the steam, MPJ said that he doesn’t “judge” Rain but doesn’t think she runs her accounts.
“These girls are OF[models]. They’re not even the ones typing, going back and forth with these dudes,” Porter said.

Rain saw MPJ’s comments, and took offense to his opinions on models grinding online.
“I just think it’s funny how men can dribble a ball and cash $30 million checks without anyone calling that lame. But if a woman builds a business from nothing and earns more than some MVPs, suddenly it’s a moral crisis.”
“They love to act like it’s all smoke and mirrors, but no one was handing me a contract, a trainer, and a brand deal at 19. I worked 14-hour days, answered every DM, edited every post. Nobody faked that grind.”
