Snoop has been a big proponent of non-fungible token technology (NFT) lately. Snoop Dogg revealed over a year ago that he owns millions of NFTs and is a crypto whale.
He told the public at the time that he was “Cozomo de’ Medici”, a Twitter character who owns a large amount of top-notch NFTs and is known in NFT markets as Opensea.
Snoop bought Death Row Records, the label that helped launch his music career, according to headlines in early 2022.
The rapper released BODR, his 19th album, after acquiring the label from MNRK Music Group. Snoop told the media after the purchase that Death Row’s ecosystem would include blockchain technology and NFTs.
