“Excited to announce my investment in @yugalabs, the #Web3 company behind the biggest #NFT brands in the world in @BoredApeYC, @cryptopunks, and more,” the four-time Grammy winner tweeted along with the club’s otherside metaverse teaser trailer. “As entire industries evolve to the early stages of the #Metaverse, decentralized ownership & a new world of digital art, we will continue to lead the way toward full artistic and music creator independence. Thanks to a16z and @ChrisLyons for leading the charge. We can’t wait for what’s next.
