BORED BANGER: 2 Chainz Name Dropped The Bored Ape Yacht Club On BAYC Member Eminem's New 'The Death Of Slim Shady' Album

2 Chainz appears to have a bit of degen in him after rapping about being paid in crypto and name-dropping the Bored Ape Yacht Club on BAYC member Eminem’s new album The Death of Slim Shady.

Rumors of the Bored Ape Yacht Club’s cultural irrelevance seem to have been greatly exaggerated after BAYC member Eminem released his new album on Friday, featuring a bonus track titled "Kyrie & Luka" featuring 2 Chainz, where the rapper makes a boring reference to the Bored Apes.

 

“Spoke to Def Jam and they talkin’ bout a renote spoke to Ghazi, he can pay me in crypto. Bored Ape Yacht Club, yeah, I’m Ricky Steamboat,” 2 chainz rapped at around the 52 second mark of the song.

 

While it is unclear if 2 Chainz is a member of the BAYC, we do know that he was an Executive Producer on the first Bored Ape-inspired cartoon series, The Red Ape Family. The show, which premiered in November 2021, had a four-episode run centered around a family of red-fur Bored Apes moving to ‘Muskville Mars.’

 

“Me and my Red Ape fam 'bout 2 deliver with Toni as Exec Producer,” 2 Chainz tweeted on October 4th, 2021. “You know dis show gonna fuck y' all up!  @TheRedApeFamily #nftcollector”

 

As for Eminem, he has been a member of the BAYC since December 31, 2021, when he picked up Bored Ape #9055.

Since then, Eminem has teamed up with fellow BAYC member Snoop Dogg and dropped the song "From The D to the LBC," which featured their Apes. The pair also performed at ApeFest 2022 and from the Otherside during the MTV Video Music Awards  in 2022.
