Eminem has purchased a Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT for 123.45 ETH ($461,868.42). However, there is more to the story than meets the eye. BAYC #9055 sold to an OpenSea account called Shady_Holdings yesterday.
The iconic rapper hasn’t confirmed the purchase. Although, many Twitter users believe it is a genuine Eminem account. Hopefully, the real slim shady will stand up and tell us shortly.
Twitter users are suggesting that Eminem has bought this BAYC NFT for 123.4 ETH Credit – BAYC #9055
One of the key reasons people believe Eminem bought the NFT is the resemblance of the BAYC hat. Eminem wears a similar hat. Furthermore, the price suggests that only very few people could afford it.
The Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT collection already has several celebrities on board alongside Eminem. The list includes athletes, musicians, YouTubers and actors. Some of the most notable are Jimmy Fallon, Post Malone and Steph Curry. Because of the floor price, it is tough for the everyday person to afford one.
Eminem is no stranger to NFTs, so it makes sense he is now starting a collection.
In April, Eminem released SHADY CON, a collection of NFTs with instrumental beats. He also released a set of NFT action figures. It was a huge success, and one of the NFTs sold for over $100,000.
