Eminem Purchased BAYC NFT Named ‘EminApe’

Hip-hop superstar Eminem has purchased a Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT. The Oscar winner allegedly paid 123.45 ETH (or approximately $462,000) for Bored Ape#9055, which the community has already began calling ‘EminApe.’

The Twitter user who sold the ape to Eminem, ‘GeeGazza,’ took to the social media platform to thank the artist for his purchase:“I’m living in a simulation. Thank you, Eminem, for buying my ape and joining the club. Madness. Let me write a lyric in your next single.”

Remarkably, the purchase came two months after ‘GeeGazza’ forecasted that Slim Shady would ultimately buy their Ape, which is known for approximating the Missouri-born rapper. They made a tweet on November 2nd saying:“I still think Eminem is destined to buy my BoredApeYC one day.”

The purchase, which was secured by Six, a digital agency which works with many celebrities within the NFT industry, is certainly not the musician’s first dive into the NFT space, as he supposedly owns 15 other NFTs on OpenSea, under the name ‘Shady Holdings.’
