Clifford Smith Jr., better known by his stage name Method Man from the rap supergroup the Wu-Tang Clan, announced plans to launch a non-fungible token (NFT) collection called “Tical World.” The tokenized comics and Killa Beez-centric art was designed by the New York artist Alex Smetsky.

Essentially, in terms of apparel, the NFT owner can get a VIP rewards card from the American rapper’s clothing line Tical Athletics. Method Man launched a cannabis brand last year that uses the name Tical. The Wu-Tang rapper coined the cannabis term ‘Tical’ back in 1993 and it’s been represented in hip-hop culture ever since. Method Man and Smetsky will sign the Tical World NFT art.
MethodMan Teams Up With Flow Blockchain & Tunego
The NFTs will feature the only copies of the original Tical World characters which will be issued on the Flow blockchain, the same protocol that issues NBA Top Shot. NFT collectors will be able to capture “community-owned crypto-characters,” according to a write-up published by Rolling Stone. Besides leveraging the Dapper Labs’ Flow blockchain technology, the Wu-Tang rapper’s NFTs will utilize Tunego Vault as well.
On August 6, a Twitter handle by the name Tical World introduced itself online and said: “Get Ready! Tical World is coming.” On the same day, the official Flow Blockchain Twitter account tweeted about Method Man’s upcoming NFTs.
“Open worlds continue to collide as incredible musicians make their move to blockchain,” the Flow blockchain account said on Friday. “We cannot wait to enter Tical World together with legend emcee Method Man. He is a true comic book fan and has launched his own comic universe of NFTs with Tunego .

Nike is facing a lawsuit from people who bought its NFTs
Wes Davisis a weekend editor who covers the latest in tech and entertainment. He has written news, reviews, and more as a tech journalist since 2020.
A group of people sued Nike this week over its decision to wind down its virtual show project RTFKT last year. The buyers of the digital assets accuse Nike of causing “the rug to be pulled out from under them,” and say they wouldn’t have bought its NFTs if they’d known they were “unregistered securities,” reports Reuters.
Filed in New York’s Eastern District, the proposed class action lawsuit seeks “unspecified damages of more than $5 million for alleged violations of New York, California, Florida and Oregon consumer protection laws.”
Nike tried to jump into the NFT game by buying RTFKT in 2021. But, like Starbucks Odyssey, it never quite worked out and the company abandoned the idea, announcing in December via the RTFKT X account that it planned to “wind down RTFKT operations” by the end of January this year.
Since then, RTFKT has seemingly been maintained by a single person named Samuel Cardillo, who spent Thursday postingthrough the sudden disappearance (and later reappearance) of artwork for its CloneX NFTs project.
