After revealing himself to be an important NFT collector, Snoop Dogg has now confirmed he spent almost $4 million in ETH in order to buy one NFT from the artist XCOPY.
Snoop bought the animated Ethereum NFT “Some Asshole,” which was created by XCOPY, for 1,300 ETH on the SuperRare marketplace. That amount translates into $3.9 million worth of ETH at the current price.
From his alter ago Twitter, Snoop said:
“Welcome ‘Some Asshole’ to the Medici villa. Let’s hope he’s polite at Nonna’s Sunday dinner. Honored to acquire XCOPY’s 1st published character piece & #7 mint on SuperRare.”
The artwork of XCOPY is becoming more and more popular in the world of NFTs. Just a week ago, an anonymous buyer spent 1,000 ETH ($2.92 million) on a piece named “All Time High in the City.”
The NFT that Snoop owns was sold back in March for only 100 ETH ($181,000 at the time). It was also sold in September 2020 for 25 ETH ($8,200).
