U.S. rapper Robert Rihmeek Williams, known to fans as Meek Mill, announced in a recent tweet that he was about to buy some Shiba Inu coins.
Meek Mill continues his foray into crypto, now that he already owns the flagship cryptocurrency Bitcoin and the Elon Musk-favored Dogecoin.
The Shiba Inu coins mentioned by the rapper are meme-cryptocurrencies that started appearing after Dogecoin rose in popularity thanks to the inexhaustible support of Tesla CEO Elon Musk.
DOGE is itself a meme-based coin; however, after it became popular, the army of meme-lovers decided to enter the crypto space permanently and meme-cryptocurrencies began popping up one after another.
