Alex Cooper, the creator and host of the popular podcast *Call Her Daddy*, is set to secure a massive paycheck with a new deal at SiriusXM. The podcast, launched in 2018 and initially co-hosted by Sofia Franklyn, skyrocketed to fame with its brutally honest discussions about relationships and modern dating culture. After a public split with Franklyn, Cooper continued solo, signing a $60 million exclusive deal with Spotify in 2021.
Now, heading into 2025, Cooper has inked a new deal with SiriusXM, reportedly valued between $100 and $125 million, nearly doubling her previous contract. In an official statement, Cooper expressed her excitement about the new partnership and her commitment to evolving the show for her devoted fanbase, the "Daddy Gang." However, the move has sparked some backlash, as fans criticize the cost of a SiriusXM subscription, questioning whether Cooper is still in touch with her core audience.
