In episode 52 here we kick off with a long list of celebrates who have been served for the involvement with the Bored Ape Yacht Club. Some celebrities include, DJ Khaled, Drake Bell, Eminem, Eva Longoria, Floyd Mayweather, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jimmy Fallon, Logan Paul, Madonna, Meek Mill, Neymar Júnior, Paris Hilton, Shaquille O’Neal, Snoop Dogg, Timbaland, Tom Brady, and Von Miller.
Celebrities have been quick to jump into NFTs, but their motivations for doing so may be confusing to fans. Truth in Advertising, a consumer watchdog group, just sent letters to 17 celebrities, including Jimmy Fallon and Gwyneth Paltrow, reminding them that not disclosing material connections (i.e., “Do you make money from this?”) when posting about something on social media violates Federal Trade Commission guidelines.
“When it comes to NFTs, some celebrities are able to take financial risks due to their wealth, but many vulnerable consumers don’t have that luxury,” Bonnie Patten, executive director of the group that sent the letters, told BuzzFeed News. “Consumers deserve to understand the full picture behind a celebrity endorsement so that they can make fully informed decisions on whether or not to invest in NFTs.”
And of course we can’t get through an episode without Levi talking about the Kim and Pete break up!! News broke on August 5, 2022, that Kim and Pete had split after nine months of dating. “Kim and Pete have decided to just be friends,” a source told Page Six at the time. “They have a lot of love and respect for each other, but found that the long distance and their demanding schedules made it really difficult to maintain a relationship.”
Three day after the news, Kanye took to his Instagram on August 8, 2022, with a photo of a fake New York Times cover with the headline: “Skete Davidson Is Dead at Age 28.” “Skete” is Kanye’s nickname for Pete. One of the times the Yeezy designer first used the nickname was in an Instagram post in February 2022 when Kanye claimed that he had “ran” Pete “off” of Instagram by making fun of him. (Pete deleted his Instagram account days prior.” “Ran Skete off the gram,” Kanye wrote at the time. “Tell your mother I changed your name for life.”
