OnlyFans creator Creator Lane V. Rogers has died. He was 31.
A relative of Rogers’ confirmed to TMZ on Wednesday, December 17, that the social media personality died two days earlier after a motorcycle accident. The family member noted that Rogers’ loved ones were at an “absolute loss for words” over his death.
Rogers shared OnlyFans content under his “Blake Mitchell” stage name.
“February of 2014, I did my first webcam show,” Rogers recalled during an April 2023 episode of the “Back to Your Story” podcast. “I wasn’t the porn star I am today. I wasn’t, like, ‘I’m comfortable [and] I’ll go in and f*** anybody.’ It was really raw and real.”

Rogers’ first videos quickly gained fan attention and would “crash the website.”
“I was like, ‘OK, there’s something here,’” he said of exploring a career in adult entertainment. “Through most of 2014, I’m doing cam shows, but with webcamming and, nowadays, OnlyFans, it’s very up and down unless you’re really steady with it. I’m finally making good money [at the time]. I’m making thousands a month, and one month we made $10,000 when I was 18.”
Rogers and his then-partner eventually parted ways later that year, leaving the influencer to pursue a solo career.
“My favorite gay porn studio at the time hit me up … which was validating in a way,” he recalled. “This was the point of my life where I was, like, ‘I could really make a choice here.’ [The guy I was dating] was going to college, I [thought I] could go get my GED and go to college, and I could probably put away this webcam thing and most people would never know.”
Instead, Rogers decided to pursue his adult career once he broke up with his then-boyfriend.
“It was a f***ing nightmare, dude, it went horrible,” he said of his now-viral pornography debut. “That’s what was crazy to me and where I realized, ‘This is all perception and how people are perceiving this, not necessarily how it actually went.’ My first scene took two 12-hour days to film [because] I could not get hard. I was so scared.”
After making his mark in X-rated movies, Rogers launched his OnlyFans account.
“I just suddenly felt a real impetus to be working as hard as possible to do as much as possible and to experience and accomplish and that’s when I decided to start an OnlyFans,” he said. “Of course, that went well. From there, that’s when I moved to L.A., so I could be around more performers and do more work. That’s when I started really winning awards.”
At the time, Rogers mused his legacy in the industry.
“I wrote in all caps, ‘What kind of man do you want to be remembered as’ [and taped it to my refrigerator],” Rogers said. “That is the question that drives basically every decision that I do and make. … When you do leave this earth, that’s all you leave behind is a legacy. Everything else goes and you can’t take anything with you. The only thing you can hold onto is a legacy about yourself and that’s what people will remember. Everything that I do is predicated on that question.”
Rogers further reflected on his unconventional career nearly a week before his death.
“Frankly I’d still do it all again … with some changes haha,” he wrote via Instagram on December 11, alongside a selfie in his car.
