What we know about the NFT that Addison Rae promoted on her Instagram
The official website for the NFT, lilheroes.io, describes the artwork as follows:
"Meet Lil’ Heroes, the mouse-eared mischievous characters dressed in a huge variety of unique hand-drawn attributes."
Created by the record-breaking artist Edgar Plans, the minimalistic mouse-eared characters are said to be a part of bigger conversations like gender violence, racism and climate change.
Plans modeled his signature character after his own attributes and characteristics. The character is called Artist Hero, who is described on the website as follows:
"His signature character, Artist Hero, represents the youth’s reckless, playful and bold way of living that Plans never gave up on. Always ready for new adventures, he will shake everything up in the metaverse!"
Rae has received mixed responses to her tie-up with the NFT. Here are a few Twitter responses from her fans:
Rae isn't the first creator to delve into the NFT marketplace. In a tweet from January 5, Logan Paul claimed to have made a profit of $535,000 by selling his World of Women NFT. The creator turned boxer is an avid NFT trader, investing over $2 million in the digital art space.
FaZe Banks is another YouTuber actively dealing with NFT artworks. Banks reportedly owns various NFTs totalling close to $10 million, with an initial investment of $200,000.
