Kanye West Doesn’t Have Current Plans For The Metaverse And NFTs — ‘For Now I’m Not On That Wave’ – AfroTech

Kanye West’s recent post comes as a surprise as just he endorsed the idea of NFTs in a conversation with the paparazzi at Miami International Airport in January, according to TMZ.

In a video clip, Kanye West states celebrities should be able to profit from their images captured by paparazzi. Taking it a step further Kanye West uses the NFT wave as concrete proof of how photography can be a tool to benefit all parties involved.

“It’s just really one-sided. You guys can follow us, you guys to stand from the hotel at any given time. You don’t give us any percentage of what you make off us, off our kids. And I’m going to change that,” Kanye West said in the video.

“You know, NFT [non-fungible tokens] people get paid in perpetuity on the product that they put out. So my image is a part of something that I should get paid for. We all got to make money together,” Kanye West later said.
