    It’s hard to be jazzed about such a scary guy spending beaucoup dollars on a random picture, but we also have questions about his motivations. Why is Eminem snapping up NFTs? Why are at least two of them his own lookalike? And does he plan to mint Mom’s Spaghetti NFTs of his own?

    Most celebrities with their own NFTs see the tokens as a way to deepen their connection with fans. Snoop Dogg, for example, created digital art that harkens back to the imagery and themes that defined the earlier stages of his career. Just know that NFTs have value, which can go up or down.
