Snoop Dogg and Eminem deliv­ered a bizarre per­for­mance at the MTV VMAs, enter­ing the meta­verse and rap­ping as 3D avatars of their NFTs. 

The per­for­mance, which was played on screens around New Jer­sey’s Pru­den­tial Cen­ter, was filled with trip­py visu­als as the leg­endary rap­pers switched between 3D ren­ders of them­selves and their “bored ape” NFTs. 

The pair rapped their newest song From the D 2 to the LBC.

The act start­ed with the pair smok­ing from a giant “joint” before descend­ing into what seems to be a very extreme high. 

Audi­ence mem­bers went on a jour­ney with the per­form­ers, the video show­ing all kinds of bizarre back­grounds and loca­tions like a giant pin­ball machine. 

They changed forms through­out the per­for­mance, cre­at­ing a bright, colour­ful and some­what dis­tract­ing visu­al for the accom­pa­ny­ing song 

Not hold­ing back on the bizarre visu­als, the live act some­what repli­cat­ed the music video for From the D 2 to the LBC which used the same ape char­ac­ters that the rap­pers morph into. 

Both Slim Shady and Snoop have pub­licly shared their involve­ment in the NFT world since the trend start­ed, trad­ing in one-of-a-kind JPEGs. 

The per­for­mance was a first for the VMAs, which seems to be exper­i­ment­ing with aug­ment­ed real­i­ty, just before the song actor John­ny Depp appeared as a 3D astro­naut above the audience. 

The award for “Best Meta­verse Per­for­mance” is a new addi­tion in 2022 with Kore­an group “BLACKPINK” win­ning for their AR per­for­mance in the video game “Play­er Unknowns Battlegrounds.”
