When it launches, the game will be intrinsically tied to a cryptocurrency called ApeCoin, and have a large focus on NFTs.Snoop and Eminem’s performance will be held on a real-life stage at the VMAs – set to be held at the Prudential Center in New Jersey – with its ties to Otherside assumedly being purely aesthetic in nature.It’ll be their third joint performance for the year, and second to come in tandem with Yuga Labs.
