Long-time hip hop heads are surely familiar with the works of rapper turned businessman Calvin Broadus, AKA Snoop Dogg . Since Snoop has taken part in a wide array of business and entertainment ventures, it should come as no surprise to learn that many of his children have followed suit. One of his most prolific offspring is his 27-year-old son, Cordell Broadus, who is best known for his time on the field for UCLA’s Bruins Football team . While Cordell could likely have built a brand off his father’s name alone, or even gone on to pro NFL football, the young mogul has taken after his father’s penchant for diversifying his income streams. He has branched off into numerous exciting fields. Today, Cordell Broadus has an estimated net worth of over $2 million independently, and functions as one of the heirs to his father’s estate of over $160 million. Let’s take a moment to look into Cordell’s many revenue streams, his college football career, and any other pertinent information, and...

Trends come, and trends go. As artificial intelligence (AI) and virtual reality (VR) have been getting all of the attention lately, technology such as non-fungible tokens (NFTs) has simmered down. Now, Kevin Hart is one of many who have experienced one of the pitfalls that come with blockchain technology. In January 2022, the actor and comedian reportedly bought a Bored Ape Yacht Club non-fungible token (NFT) for 79.5 ETH or $200,401 in a deal facilitated by MoonPay, a cryptocurrency marketplace, as previously shared by AFROTECH™. The reported purchase was at a time when numerous celebrities such as Hip Hop artist Snoop Dogg and NBA player Stephen Curry were securing the once popular company’s digital tokens. Hart reportedly sold his NFT on March 25, 2024, for 13.65 ETH, which equates to $47,000 — significantly less than his original purchase of over $200,000 — per ZyCrypto. The outlet described the reported sale as an “81% discount.” Canadian singer Justin Bieber faced a similar...

Another day, another lawsuit. In early 2022, the Bored Ape Yacht Club was one of the most popular NFTs. Now, Yuga Labs — the Web3 firm behind the NFTs — has been hit with a class action lawsuit.

Producers behind your faves’ hit records have collaborated for a new music venture. Hit-Boy and James Fauntleroy — who have worked with the likes of Beyoncé, Jay-Z, and Rihanna — are the producers behind Bored Ape Rock Band Kingship’s album, Bloomberg reports.

Gunna has made it clear that you’re always going to catch him being iced out. Complex reported in March that the rapper dropped $100,000 for a “P” diamond tooth — relating to his infamous phrase “Pushin P”. “P don’t just mean player. P means paper, too. You can be pushing this P with paper,” he explained, according to Complex. “If you’re in this shit and it’s rented, then you’re kicking P. But if you buy this shit and you own it, then you’re really pushing P. You’re spending your hard-earned money. Like, you’re pushing it. You’re standing on this shit. You’re spending millions on it. You’re pushing it.” The teal-colored stone was provided by Angel City Jewelers’ Isaac Bokhoor and installed by Thomas Connelly. Now, he has linked up with a platform to add on to his bling.

NFT portfolios have become a new, viable way for people to build — and maintain — their wealth. And the same goes for celebrities, who are quickly wading into the NFT space to diversify their investments. As has been previously reported, everyone from Doja Cat to Method Man has taken advantage of the value that non-fungible tokens give to their portfolios. And while experts are divided as to whether the long-term value of NFTs will sustain themselves, a new report suggests that there are some celebrities — for now — that have some of the most valuable NFT portfolios in the industry today. According to a new report compiled by SCMP, these portfolios have taken a jump thanks to the involvement of major auction houses, like Sotheby’s and Christie’s, who have also started to see the value in this new digital technology. But what makes these celebrity NFT portfolios so valuable can actually vary. While some celebrities choose to create their own NFTs and sell them, others create wealth...

Following an announcement that he’d be launching his own cryptocurrency, social media users are accusing rapper Gunna of being involved in a crypto scam , according to new reports from XXL. “Ay @pushinpeth making a crypto metaverse for us,” wrote the Atlanta rapper on Twitter. “@shanemooncharts backing the project, I know this is gonna fly. IM TAKING THIS TO THE MOON JOIN THE TELEGRAM HERE.” It’s alleged that Gunna is involved in what is referred to as a “rug pull.” This is a financial term that coins what happens when an asset’s initial price (in this case, a cryptocurrency) is driven up prior to going live, and then the investments are quickly pulled out. From there, the price of the crypto heads toward zero which in turn makes the asset worthless. Self-proclaimed “on-chain sleuth” and Twitter user @zachxbt shed light on the incident Wednesday (February 3). “Nice scam @1GunnaGunna didn’t even last 8 hrs,” read the user’s tweet. The message also included a screenshot of PushinP...

About a week ago, Antonio Brown had a rather infamous meltdown. As fans of football already know, the meltdown ended with the former Tampa Bay Buccaneer stripping down to his pants and stomping off the field. Now, this infamous meltdown is being made into a non-fungible token (NFT). TMZ is reporting that the so-called “Antonio Brown meltdown” is going up for auction on Jan. 13, on the ViralHeir website, and could go for a reported $1.5 million. Plus, the site is already boasting the NFT as something that “will change” the face of “sports memorabilia.” “On January 2, during an NFL game between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and New York Jets, wide receiver Antonio Brown removed his jersey, tossed his uniform into the crowd, and abruptly left the field,” reports the site. “The moment, captured by a Jets fan, has now been shared millions of times in one of the most viral moments in recent sports history. You can now own that viral moment in an NFT auction that will forever change the...
