Legendary rapper and serial entrepreneur Snoop Dogg was seen wearing a custom made gold Ledger crypto hardware wallet around his neck at WrestleMania 39.
Snoop Dogg and Ledger Nano X headline WrestleMania 39
West Coast rapper Snoop Dogg made an in-ring appearance at WWE’s annual WrestleMania event in Hollywood this past weekend. While in the ring, the rapper wore a custom made gold and black diamond Ledger Nano X hardware wallet at Wrestlemania 39.
Snoop Dogg, whose real name is Calvin Broadus Jr., has been a strong advocate of cryptocurrency for some time now. He has publicly expressed his interest in Bitcoin and other digital assets, and has even released his own collection of NFTs called “A Journey with the Dogg.”
Snoop was an early investor in the Metaverse and in startups like Reddit and Robinhood. He is also an investor in the cannabis industry, to no surprise. According to 2021 data, his net worth was approximately $150 million, of which approximately 10% is due to investments. The rest is due to his storied music career, constant collaborations and continuous innovation.
The statement demonstrates that cryptocurrencies are not just a niche interest, but have become a mainstream phenomenon. The fact that a high-profile celebrity like Snoop Dogg continues to openly embrace digital assets is an indication that cryptocurrencies are here to stay, regardless of issues like the FTX crash and the lack of clear regulation.
“Got my mind on my money, and my money around my neck”
The Ledger Nano X hardware wallet that Snoop used is a popular device used to store cryptocurrency and provides an easy-to-use and secure cold storage solution for managing digital assets. Snoop Dogg’s decision to wear one around his neck is a testament to the growing popularity of cryptocurrency among celebrities and other high-profile influencers.
The custom-made gold Ledger hardware wallet worn by Snoop Dogg at Wrestlemania 39 was a one-of-a-kind creation, complete with pavé black diamonds and the Death Row registry logo. The device was styled by Talia Coles and designed by jeweler Eliantte. It’s a modern take on the “wallet chain,” except you wear it around your neck instead of keeping it in your pants pocket.
“While hosting this year’s WrestleMania, it was crucial for me to make sure my digital assets were protected no matter what I was doing or where I was,” Snoop explainedmost likely surrounded by a cloud of smoke and using the coolest crypto wallet ever created.
“It is important for me to take strong measures to safeguard my digital assets. And this custom Ledger Nano, let me tell you, it’s not only a necessity but also a flexible accessory that reflects my personal style. And do you know where the safest place is for him to sit? Around my neck, baby!
Snoop’s chosen fashion accessory works for the wealthy rapper who is often surrounded by bodyguards. But the common person may want to hesitate before putting their crypto around their neck for privacy and security reasons. However, he is not the only rapper who supports digital assets with style. Other notable rappers displaying a Ledger bling-out include Drake, and the trend will only continue as crypto adoption grows.
