“I’m very thankful for my fans who have been supporting me...”
But Rae makes it look easy.
“I’m very happy,” she continues. “I’m very thankful to my fans that they make me able to live
like this, since I am not really, really into the industry. Like I’m not working a lot. I do work a little bit for productions but it’s like less than 10 a year. Last year I did like three scenes.
“I’m very thankful for my fans who have been supporting me.”
.Even though Black still doesn’t consider herself a “big name,” the numbers can’t help but to tell another story—at press time Rae had 1.1 million followers on her main Instagram at @ raelilblack, another 112K on her music account at @rlblack666 and 60.7K on her @raelilfood page.
A box office draw on every platform, Rae has racked up more than 986K on her primary Twitter at @Raelilblack and 116.7K on her “wholesome” backup Twitter at @RaelilblackTV.
“Yeah, I would say sharing my life is now a job,” Rae admits. “I don’t know, social media is a little bit different because all the algorithm is so different than before.
“So if you don’t do collaboration or if you’re not featured on some other platform, like the other page, it’s a little bit hard to gain followers now. So it’s slow. I would say it’s not as fast as before. I think this is what everybody’s struggling.
“But thankfully my Instagram follower is more than one million now. And Twitter is like 950-something, so it’s almost one million and I am more or less satisfied.”
But her global following belies her private persona.
“I feel like it’s unreal,” Black continues. “Real person like is me is like a different character.
Like in my real life I’m not really showy. I’m not very social. I live alone and sometimes I don’t talk to people for more than a week.
“I don’t drink alcohol much. I don’t smoke, I don’t party. So for me the social media is like a game. Like doing some Animal Crossing or something. You just create your avatar and play online.”
It’s a game that Rae is winning.
“Still I’m just hungry,” she says. “I’m satisfied with what I did but I want more.”
When Black decides to do a studio scene, it has become event porn. She made her first
appearance on Vixen in January in a scene titled “24 Hours” with Christian Clay in Corsica, France; and then in May she debuted on Blacked.com in a beach tussle with Jack Rippher.
