The Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) NFT collection is arguably the most popular collection of non-fungible tokens after the CryptoPunks series. BAYC is a collection of 10,000 unique cartoon apes, each with their own distinct attributes. Owing to their increasing popularity, dozens of celebrities have already become owners of the Bored Ape NFTs, including the likes of Shaquille O’Neal, Neymar, Paris Hilton, Madonna, Kevin Hart, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Jimmy Fallon. Now, two of BAYC’s most influential owners — Eminem and Snoop Dogg — have featured Bored Ape art in the music video of their latest collab, “From The D 2 The LBC.”
Eminem and Snoop Dogg debuted their music video at this year’s ApeFest, which is an annual gathering for BAYC and Mutant Ape Yacht Club (MAYC) owners. Within just four days of its release, “From The D 2 The LBC” has already garnered over 10 million views on YouTube.
Snoop Dogg owns BAYC #6,723 and Eminem owns BAYC #9,055. These NFTs were animated and used to represent the two artists in the music video.
