Just in time for Oscar Sunday, iconic rapper and Oscar winner for “Lose Yourself” in 2003, Eminem, in partnership with Nifty Gateway, has unveiled his first NFT at Shady Con. The world-famous artist, born Marshall Mathers, is the latest in a line of celebrities, musicians, and athletes getting in on the NFT craze. Eminem has partnered with Nifty Gateway, the NFT platform owned by Gemini, to release his first NFT this Sunday, April 25, 2021.
It may have been the recent Saturday Night Live (SNL) skit on NFTs that piqued the rapper’s interest. In the skit, a rapper played by SNL cast member Pete Davidson explained what NFTs are to the tune of Eminem’s “Without Me.”
