$ADA: American Rapper ‘Soulja Boy’ Interested in Cardano NFTs

Influential American rapper and record producer DeAndre Cortez Way, aka “Soulja Boy“, seems to be excited by Cardano-powered NFTs.

In October 2018, he included a song called “Bitcoin” in the “Young Draco” album; in this track, he mentions buying Bitcoin at $6,000, and owning both $BTC and $LTC.

In January 2021, Soulja Boy asked his Twitter followers for advice on what cryptoassets to buy:

Then, in March 21, he first got into the world of NFTs by selling five of his tweets as NFTs on marketplace Valuables.

Well, on Friday (June 3), he once again turned his Twitter followers to ask what Cardano NFTs to buy by sending out the following tweet that IOG CEO Charles Hoskinson found interesting.

Currently, on NFT marketplace OpenSea, which he joined in April 2021, he has a “super exclusive collectible” called “Crank That” for sale. The current price is 5 ETH, and the sale ends on June 12.

In April, an even more famous “Snoop Dogg”, alias “Cozomo Medici”, and his son, “Champ Medici”, launched their collaboration with crypto project Clay Nation. The result was a Cardano-based NFT collection called “Clay Mates“. Clay Mates are “characters who are brought to life in stop motion animation and re-homed on the blockchain as CNFTs.”
