Eminem confirmed the release of his NFTs in a statement on his official website.
“I wanted to give this drop the same vibe of, ‘Oh, man I gotta get just that one or maybe even the whole set!’ It’s been a lot of fun coming up with ideas from my own collecting passion,” the rapper said.
Senior Producer at Nifty Gateway, Ashley Ramos commented on the cooperation:
“We’re thrilled to welcome Eminem to our platform. Demand for NFTs continues to grow and we’re excited to bring this collaboration to our community and give them access to new artwork and music on Nifty Gateway’s marketplace.”
Saturday Night Live
On his Twitter page, Eminem shared a recent Saturday Night Live (SNL) skit which featured the rapper being played by one of the SNL cast. The skit explained NFTs to the tune of Eminem’s classic ‘Without Me’.
