Linkin Park singer and pianist, Mike Shinoda is now a member of The Bored Ape Yacht Club’s Cheetah Gang!
As the Bored Ape Gazette previously reported, Shinoda joined the BAYC after minting five mutant apes. Four days ago, Shinoda changed his Twitter to MAYC Ape #7804. Shinoda has now changed his Twitter profile photo again to a cheetah fur Bored Ape. “Joined two families this week. @BoredApeYC #2299 and @tezzardz #1985,” he tweeted yesterday afternoon.
Bored Ape #2299 is a seven trait cheetah fur ape with a biker vest and beanie. While specfics on the deal are not available, Shinoda was transferred Bored Ape #2299 from Opensea User and BAYC member, 0x13.
Based on the Shinoda’s Opensea activity history, it appears he made a 35 Eth offer to 0x13 to purchase Bored Ape #2299. Shinoda then canceled the offer and transferred 0x13 MAYC Ape 7804. 0x13 then transferred Shinoda Bored Ape #2299. This likely indicates that the two made a private deal outside of Opensea.
After the sale, Bored Apes welcomed the rocker into the club. “10% luck, 20% skill 15% concentrated BAYC,” BAYC member DANIEL GOT HITS tweeted.
