Virtual ‘Trees’: Snoop Plans to Recreate His Mansion in the Ethereum-Based Metaverse Sandbox
The rapper, media personality, actor, songwriter, and businessman Snoop Dogg has announced he has partnered with the non-fungible token (NFT) metaverse project called The Sandbox. Essentially, Sandbox is a gaming ecosystem where people can create, share and monetize NFTs and gaming experiences on Ethereum (ETH). On September 22, Bitcoin.com News reported on how Snoop revealed his secret online personality called Cozomo de’ Medici, a character who owns millions of dollars worth of NFTs.
Snoop is now taking the NFT game further and the partnership with Sandbox means that Snoop will be recreating his mansion in the Sandbox metaverse. It means that players will be able to experience Snoop parties and concerts and even play the role of Snoop Dogg himself. Furthermore, the announcement sent to Bitcoin.com News details that the Doggfather is launching an NFT collection and a limited ‘Snoop Dogg Private Party Pass.’
“[The] ‘Snoop Dogg Private Party Pass’ gives users VIP access to concerts, events, Q&As, and dedicated NFT drops,” the announcement details. “Snoop Dogg will also launch a 3D avatar collection inside The Sandbox and players will be able to create games using virtual ‘Doggfather’ items such as Snoop Dogg’s personal car collection, dogs, statues, memorabilia, and more.”
“We are building the future of entertainment where everyone will enjoy creating and sharing their very own virtual experiences,” Arthur Madrid, the CEO and co-founder of the Sandbox virtual game said in a statement sent to Bitcoin.com News. “The Sandbox is bringing iconic culture with Snoop Dogg and enhancing it through innovation with NFTs and virtual experiences. Snoop’s LAND is decentralized; 100% owned by him to develop through his creative genius.”
