Totally taken by the NFT mania, Eminem would not have hesitated to spend a real fortune for a very particular digital work.

In recent days, the rapper has replaced his Twitter profile image with a Bored Ape that looks like him.

The Bored Ape, literally “bored gorillas,” are a series of cartoonish primate effigies highly prized in the NFT world, in the same vein as the hugely popular and now unaffordable CryptoPunks.

And according to the news site specializing in cryptocurrency Decrypt, the artist would have spent no less than 123.45 Ethereum, or about $ 450,000 at the moment, to buy this work from its former owner responding to the pseudonym of GeeGazza on the network. to the blue bird.

“I live in a simulation.

Thanks to Eminem for purchasing this gorilla and joining the club!

This is madness.

Let me write a text for your next single, ”GeeGazza wrote in a tweet.

Still according to Decrypt, Eminem would have bought a dozen NFTs on the OpenSea platform via an account called @ Shady_Holdings.

Last year, the artist launched an NFT collection called Shady Con which has done very well, and he also invested in MakersPlace, a platform for the sale of digital works.
