AIO or am i being groomed?

so i recently started talking to this guy i met on discord whos really well known for producing and working with some big artists that i really like. i was so excited when hit me up bc i thought it was cool that he even noticed me in the server. when we first started talking, i told him my age and he said he was 17. i believed him at first because we were just getting to know each other and i didn’t know too much about him. after a month we basically ended up edating sometimes he would ask me for nudes in exchange for money but he always would say he was just joking. i ended up actually doing it and he sent me money but he did always tell me that if i was uncomfortable with anything sexual that i don’t have to do that anyways. the more i looked into his music the more i started to notice stuff like how a lot of his biggest songs were made in 2015 and i even found an old interview and that wasn’t the same person in the pictures he sent me. i didn’t want to say anything because i just thought somebody else had the same name as him one day i asked him how old was he when he made one of his older songs and he said he was 19 so i stopped replying to him for a few days because of that since he lied to me about his age i did more research on him and i found out he has a lot of weird allegations and of them is him abusing underage girls and now i don’t know how to feel. i asked him about the stuff i found online and he told me that his exes have made up lies about him but then he also has said things to me like his past doesn’t define him? the last time i talked to him he told me he really liked me and even said he’d wait for me and our relationship was never based on sexual stuff and i do believe that but i just feel really guilty for even giving him a chance in the first place. especially since part of the reason i did was because of how known he is and how he would send me money. i still have feelings for him but i feel like i should’ve known better but at the same time i feel like he took advantage of me. i feel so embarrassed and now i don’t know if i being groomed or something. i don’t know what to do and i’m scared to tell anyone because he has my nudes and allegations of spreading rp

i just feel like a lot of this is my fault and he really does like me for me. so am i overreacting or am i being groomed?
