The evolution of Migos has been one to watch in Hip-Hop over the years. Nearly a decade since being signed to Quality Control, the trio has yet to be knocked out of their spot. As previously reported by AfroTech, each member’s respective consistency has garnered them a combined estimated net worth of $80 million.
The rise of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and the metaverse are some of the biggest tech phenomenons of the year, and quite arguably some of the most notable innovations since the internet hit society. People may still be coming to terms with what NFTs are, but put more simply, NFTS are blockchain-backed certificates that guarantee the authenticity of a piece of digital media. Look what Jack Dorsey did with his first tweet, which sold as an NFT for $2.9 million. But NFT ownership doesn’t just belong to the big spenders — learn how to mint your first NFT in this recent story Afrotech published. Some experts have also expressed skepticism about the rise and sustainability of NFTs, but for now, they seem promising.

Migos star Takeoff is quite literally trying to take off into space and he’s hoping to bring a Non-Fungible Token (NFT) owner along for the ride. An Instagram post on Tuesday, Dec. 2 revealed the Migos star will be launching his first NFT collection Apes In Space. Pre-sale begins Dec. 5 with 2,000 spots available for whitelisted members, and a public sale will begin shortly after on Dec. 6, according to the official Apes In Space website. “The Apes In Space team has years of experience in the marketing and digital space under its belt,” the project’s website reads. “With Takeoff (1/3 of Migos) as part of the team, the Apes In Space project has more connections in the NFT space than any other collection.” “We spent months crafting the art of the project and we couldn’t be happier with the final result,” it continued.
