(WXYZ) — Eminem is the latest star to get in on the hot NFT market.
The metro Detroit-based rapper announced he was launching "Shady Con" on his website today.
The digital event will take place this Sunday from 6:30-7 p.m on NFT marketplace Nifty Gateway. It will feature a variety of Eminem-approved collectibles.
Among the offerings, according to the website post, will be instrumental tracks produced by Eminem himself.
They will be made available as limited-editions and one-of-a-kind NFTs.
Eminem teased this announcement by retweeting a recent Saturday Night Live sketch that featured Pete Davidson playing the rapper. The parody attempted to explain exactly what an NFT is.
