Kanye West. Love him or hate him, he’s an icon, a mogul, a multi-disciplinary visionary. And yup, you guessed it. Ye is getting into NFTs. Wait, didn’t he make a statement that he isn’t doing NFTs? Why yes he did, back in January.*Note: Kanye deleted all his IG posts (assuming a protective measure on his end?) due to his account being suspended in March for a policy violation. Hence the screenshot. Well, it’s May now and this popped up.Josh Gerben @JoshGerben Kanye West has filed 17 new trademark applications around his YEEZUS name. The filings indicate an intent to launch YEEZUS-branded amusement parks, NFT's, toys and more. 👇 #KanyeWest3:57 PM ∙ Jun 1, 2022233Likes42Retweets Well it looks like Yeezy is looking to expand his influence from radio waves and sneakers into…everywhere? Wait a second, “Block-chain based currencies and non-fungible tokens”? What happened to “Do not ask me to do a fucking NFT?” Well it is “later”…😂 As I’ve shared before, the purveyors of culture are leading the way in Web3. Kanye doesn’t fit just one of the categories I mentioned, he checks all of them. Content Creator ✅ Music ✅ Fashion ✅ Art ✅ Kanye embodies art in numerous ways, but did you know he was also an award-winning teenage artist? Sports ✅ Heard of Donda Sports? It might be a while before we see Kanye NFTs, but if he can change his mind about NFTs, other naysayers can too. See you tomorrow, it’s truly never a dull day in this space 😵
