HUNGERFF INDUCTED INTO THE INTERNATIONAL GRABBY AWARDS WALL OF FAME

FORT LAUDERDALE, FL — May 24, 2026 — Independent adult content creator, author, and podcaster HungerFF has been inducted into the International Grabby Awards Wall of Fame at the 2026 ceremony, joining the most exclusive class of recognition in the gay adult industry.

The Wall of Fame honors performers whose careers have left a permanent mark on the industry — a lifetime achievement distinction reserved for creators whose work, influence, and longevity have shaped the form itself.

For HungerFF — born Ryan James — the recognition caps a career that began at eighteen, when he walked into the Fort Lauderdale offices of Fabscout Entertainment and met with longtime agent Howard Andrew, who took him on with nothing to go by but conviction. Earlier that same year, Ryan had been told by Michael Lucas of Lucas Entertainment, from across a casting couch, that he was “too fat, too ugly, and too basic” to ever work in adult film. He left that meeting humiliated. He never stopped working.

In the years since, HungerFF has become one of the most recognizable names in extreme content, building a platform that now spans his independent site HungerFF.com, his weekly podcast Brolapse, the oral-history archive Legends of Fisting, and his recently published anti-memoir Deeper (HFF Media, Inc., 2026), which reached #1 in LGBTQ Memoirs on Amazon during its launch week.

The Wall of Fame induction arrives during one of the most prolific periods of his career — and against a backdrop of industry shifts that have pushed many performers off mainstream platforms. HungerFF rebuilt his business independently after censorship pressure forced him off OnlyFans, and has spent the years since proving that an unfiltered creator can not only survive outside corporate platforms but thrive on his own terms.

“This award belongs to every pig who was ever told they were too much, too weird, too filthy, too anything to belong here,” said HungerFF. “I was eighteen when I was told I’d never make it. Howard at Fabscout believed in me when nobody else did, and the people who saw themselves in my work refused to let me go quietly. The Wall of Fame isn’t just mine. It’s ours.”

Footage of the official acceptance speech, photography from the ceremony, and additional coverage of awards weekend are now available in the News section of HungerFF.com.
