As the two artists continue to get deeper into the metaverse and the NFT world, they revealed that the upcoming VMA performance will be set on a stag inspired by the Otherside metaverse. The Yung Labs-created virtual world isn’t fully developed but it’s intended on utilizing NFTs and ApeCoin cryptocurrency. It seems like both Snoop and Em are helping boost the platform before its launch.
