2pac NT Jewelry Collection Dubbed: “Artist, Activists, Sinners, Saint ‘
The collection will include four pieces of Tupac’s jewelry. It will be called “Artist/Activist/Sinner, Saint” according to the announcement.
Tupac Shakur is widely considered the most influential rap artist of all time and he sold more than 75 million records worldwide. Five albums total were released after Shakur’s death. Each album was certified Platinum.
“The four piece Immortal Collection was inspired by and connected to the things that Tupac saw in himself.
In 2020, the Shakur estate was estimated to be worth around $40 million. His mother, Afeni Shakur, managed his estate until she passed away in 2016. According to reports, Tupac’s estate trustees are currently managing his inheritance. Despite being worth $40 million, it has also been reported that Tupac owed his record label three albums in exchange for bail funds to get out of prison.

Nike is facing a lawsuit from people who bought its NFTs
Wes Davis is 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 posting through the sudden disappearance (and later reappearance) of artwork for its CloneX NFTs project.
