VMA 2022
On Sunday night at the MTV Video Music Awards 2022, rappers Eminem and Snoop Dogg brought their NFT avatars to life for the first time on national television (VMA). For their single, "From the D 2 the LBC," the two worked together and played the song live on stage. Their NFT avatars from the Bored Ape Yacht Club, which represented life in the future game Otherside by Yuga Labs, opened the music video.

The next game is scattered throughout the trailer, offering a preview of the Otherside metaverse. The music video continues with Eminem and Snoop Dogg captivating the audience with their upbeat tune during a stage performance.

In the NFT and metaverse world, rappers have taken the lead. According to rumors, Snoop Dogg possesses NFTs worth $17 million, and his collections are now costly. The musician also disclosed that he runs the fictitious Cozomo de' Medici Twitter account, which shares NFT creativity.

Eminem Owner of 166 NFTs from 32 Collections

On the other hand, Eminem is the owner of 166 NFTs from 32 collections, according to DappRadar. Earlier this year, he paid $452,000 for a Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT. The Ethereum-based monkey was formerly the singer for Slim Shady's Twitter profile photo. Rappers alone are to blame for NFTs' success in the mainstream and their expansion to a broader audience. Along with Eminem and Snoop Dogg, other famous people that own BAYC NFTs include Paris Hilton, basketball legend Steph Curry, Post Malone, DJ Khaled, and comedian Jimmy Fallon.
