Don’t bother Ye with your bland apes. The rapper formerly known as Kanye West has announced himself as somewhat of a surprising outlier in the NFT game: while more and more celebrities are cashing in on the hyped crypto art scam, Ye posted on Instagram claiming he can’t be bothered with creating and selling meaningless digital receipts — at least not yet.
Like a beautiful middle-finger poem, Kanye posted a photo of a handwritten note, with line breaks and all: “My focus is on / building real / products in the / real world / real food / real clothes / real shelter / do not ask me / to do a fucking / NFT,” he wrote. He signed the letter before adding one more curious footnote: “Ask me later.”
