It may have been the recent Saturday Night Live (SNL) skit on NFTs that piqued the rapper’s interest. In the skit, a rapper played by SNL cast member Pete Davidson explained what NFTs are to the tune of Eminem’s “Without Me.”


There are three types of NFTs up for sale, each of them high-quality animations with an original beat produced by Eminem himself. There of 50 editions of each of the first two NFTs, which are titled "TOOLS OF THE TRADE" and "STILL D.G.A.F". They cost $5,000. Those quick enough to buy them will also receive a physical print, numbered by hand and autographed by the rapper. The third, "STAN'S REVENGE," is an edition of one, and will sell to the highest bidder.  It is unclear who animated the NFTs.
