Are Bitcoin Lovers Kanye West and Snoop Dogg Next to Support Big Eyes Over Dogecoin?
Hollywood News – Crypto and Celebrities:
Well, by now we are all used to the ties that intertwine Hollywood with the cryptocurrency industry. I mean, we all know about it. A big part of the “job” of being a celebrity is actually influencing the public and ultimately “selling” the “dream”. The connection between the prominent and powerful in the world, the general public, social media and financial products or services is strong and eternal. Whether we’re talking about tangible goods or abstract fantasies, there’s always something to sell, there’s always someone willing to sell it, and there’s always someone interested in buying it.
So let’s dive right into it. Who sells what, where, and most importantly, to whom?
Well, Cryptocurrency has been a “thing” in Hollywood for quite some time now, with celebrities swearing by their digital currency and Web.3 investments. Kanye West and Snoop Dogg of course lead the “pack” with their efforts and full commitment in the NFT and Metaverse sectors.

Rapper, actor and businessman (who, as reported by CNN, just dropped his own brand of cereal – Snoop Loopz) is a true crypto aficionado. What can I say, the man is literally building a crypto-empire with his NFT collections and his quest to support young, emerging artists through digital currency. NFTs, or non-fungible tokens, are unique blockchain tokens that can represent ownership of a digital or physical asset, usually in the form of a unique piece of art.
The “Drop it Like it’s Hot” singer recently spoke about what’s been happening in the crypto markets lately and how he feels the cryptocurrency winter “could actually do the industry some good in the long run.”
The artist went on to state that he believes crypto is a “beautiful industry” with a lot of potential and a lot of opportunities as well. He added that he personally feels the industry’s temporary fluctuating position is not here to stay, “there is always a depression in every industry,” he says, comparing the current downfall of the crypto markets to those of alcohol, tobacco, fashion and to and with food.
The statement comes shortly after big news broke about:
- One is that the world’s major record labels, Universal, Warner Music Group and Sony Music, have all explored the possibility of adopting NFT technology in the near future, which in turn will attract even more artists to join the cause.
- Two, after partnering with Bored Ape (and creating his own Taco Truck business— Boring Tacos), Snoop might consider collaborating on another animal-themed project. Dogs? No, cats!
The Starsky & Hutch actor is reportedly in talks with the developers of Big Eyes to create a “top secret” project involving unique NFTs that will stimulate and benefit young, emerging artists.
Kanye West
Another talented artist, rapper and businessman. Kanye West (who has recently been spotted with a “mysterious brunette”), known for his Yeezy lifestyle brand and of course his relationship with today’s star Kim Kardashian (formerly Kim Kardashian West), is not new to making “shocking” claims.

This time, the 21-time Grammy winner has spoken out for cryptocurrency, saying that the “True Liberation of America” (Forbes) may actually come from Bitcoin (BTC) and the cryptocurrency industry at large. Well, that’s a bold claim, Kanye! But could he have been telling the truth there?

In the digital age, it has been a blessing for many to have the opportunity to create “self-wealth” through decentralized finance (DeFi) and thereby eliminate the need for intermediaries (such as banks), including celebrities.
All (or almost all) crypto projects have space and freedom to generate passive income for users in a practical and straightforward way. For the most part, the DeFi protocol works as follows: You get to stake your “magic” token to earn returns in digital currency that you can then trade on margin for derivatives of even more digital tokens. In one sense, this process constitutes a remarkable achievement for our society – as a (now) large sector of the economy, we have finally developed a distinct financial system that is mostly functioning, (very) profitable, and also almost completely disconnected from the physical world .
The billionaire and (controversial) MAGA supporter, having had some concerns about NFTs (non-fungible tokens) offering them ephemeral “objects” with no basis or inherent purpose in the “real world”, has reversed course. He has now warmed to the idea of having his own NFT collections, following in the footsteps of fellow rapper Snoop Dogg.
According to over 15 new trademark cases filed surrounding the rapper’s alter-persona, “Yeezus,” Kanye West may be getting ready to stamp his very own NFTs.
This speculation is based on the fact that “Ye” (Kanye’s new legal name) is now exploring “blockchain-based non-fungible assets”, currencies and tokens, and is looking to possibly open up an online Metaverse store that will feature digital art as well as items from his fashion house Yeezy. All of this, it is rumored, will be created in collaboration with Big Eyes, an up-and-comer in the world of cryptocurrency and digital art.
Other celebrities
If you thought that Mr “Ye” or “Big Unc Snoop” were the only superstars who have ventured into the wonderful, wonderful world of digital products and investments, then you are very wrong my friend!
In the cryptocurrency endorsement expedition, along with the previously mentioned duo, other very prominent names are coming up.
Artist and influencer Paris Hilton has created NFTs “hot” by introducing to the market a series of “iconic” digital artworks that sold for millions of dollars. The heir to Hilton Hotels’ “Empire” has repeatedly applauded the industry for the way it has helped democratize art and empower women.
Good Will Hunting Actor and Oscar winner Matt Damon has also expressed his full commitment to the cryptocurrency industry. In recent months, Damon has stated that “Fortune favors the brave” and that investing in digital currency should be a priority for anyone looking to earn passive income.
Last but not least, British supermodel Kate Moss has used cryptocurrency to do some good. The businesswoman and fashion icon stepped into NFT’s trend and presented something completely original. She made a video showing her in bed sleeping and released it as a non-fungible token titled “Sleep with Kate”, which subsequently sold for over $17,000. All proceeds have gone to the non-profit organization “Gurls Talk”.
Other notable personalities involved in cryptocurrency include Kim Kardashian, entrepreneur Elon Musk, Bella Hadid, Eminem and comedian Ellen DeGeneres.
Now, who is going to be the next big celeb to endorse Big Eyes?
“Certified Cuteness”: Big eyes
Okay, so we’ve mentioned the possibility of celebrities like Kanye and Snoop endorsing Big Eyes. Cool! But you might be wondering, what are Big Eyes? Well, here’s what we know about the new “certified cuteness” meme coin and NFT-based cryptocurrency.
First, Big Eyes (BIG) has been fully developed to be the cutest meme coin in the cryptocurrency sphere. It has been said that the creators of Big Eyes – a cute ginger kitten with sparkling eyes – have devised the project to be the best possible alternative to the prominent (silly) Shiba-inspired meme currency already available on the market (Dogecoin) rings a bell).
Big Eyes (BIG) is a fully-fledged community token that has the explicit goal of creating and then transferring revenue from the Defi ecosystem to individuals’ wallets, while preserving the essential component of global community connections.
Tokens issued by the community can generate significant wealth for both individuals and charities. Big Eyes is looking to expand his endeavors even further by developing a blockchain ecosystem that can propagate for hyper growth using non-fungible tokens (NFT) – You can see why the two rappers, who have always been interested in developing community ties and helping younger generations, is reportedly thinking of getting involved in Big Eye’s ecosystem and efforts.
To ensure the longevity and sustainability of the project, to guarantee an investors-first ecosystem, and also to keep good ideas flowing, the ecosystem has implemented reactions that are fast and smooth, just like those of a cat. course. A tax system that is both simple and dynamic will allow tax adjustments with Auto Burn features, Marketing Wallet and LP Acquisition.
Big Eyes plans to bet big on NFT creation, with a creative marketplace waiting to open – it NFT Sushi Crew. The NFT collection aims to bring joy to the community while increasing the value of the token, benefiting all holders. In addition, all income that comes through the NFT events will be contributed to a vote on whether to burn currency.
Big Eyes also plans to give the community access to many other internal projects such as contests, reward systems and a store where Big Eyes enthusiasts can buy cool items designed by the hottest artists in the industry; this “wear the stare” venture is aimed at attracting even more individuals to join the “family” and expand Big Eyes’ reach (along with its holder’s wallets).
The cutest project in DeFi aims to raise USD 50 million by the end of the year. According to data, the Big Eyes presale has so far managed to collect a whopping $1 million.
The Big Eyes platform is going to be a place for creatives, artists and anyone who is truly “hungry for a change”.
