The 2022 Video Music Awards (VMAs) from MTV could feature a first: two owners of Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs are performing a song live that has a music video featuring their Apes.

Viewers will have to wait to see how the Apes are portrayed during the award show and if the well-known rappers take home the trophy for which they’re nominated.

What Happened: Snoop Dogg and Eminem will perform their song “From the D 2 the LBC” at the 2022 VMAs. The duo will perform inside Otherside, the metaverse game being developed by Bored Ape parent company Yuga Labs.

The music video for the song features Bored Apes owned by Snoop Dogg and Eminem and has been viewed over 46 million times on YouTube, a unit of Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL) Inc (NASDAQ: GOOG)(NASDAQ: GOOGL). The song also has over 25 million streams on Spotify Technology (NYSE: SPOT).

“Global rap icons Eminem and Snoop Dogg will transform the VMAs stage for a first of its kind performance of ‘From the D 2 the LBC’ inside the world of the Otherside metaverse in partnership with Yuga Labs,” MTV said in a press release. “This is the first metaverse inspired performance to ever grace an award show.”

At the VMA’s, “From the D 2 the LBC” is nominated for “Best Hip-Hop” video. The nominees are:

  • • “From The D 2 The LBC”
  • • “Wait For U”: Future, Drake, TEMS
  • • “N95”: Kendrick Lamar
  • • “Big Energy”: Latto
  • • “Do We Have A Problem?”: Nicki Minaj, Lil Baby
  • • “Diet Coke”: Pusha T

The Bored Ape Twitter account celebrated the performance with a tweet saying they were glad to support Snoop Dogg and Eminem. The two musicians attended Ape Fest in June.

Benzinga predicted the performance by Snoop Dogg and Eminem at the VMAs earlier this week thanks to a tweet by VMA co-host LL Cool J. Snoop Dogg and Eminem shared parts of the title with each other on Twitter and say LL Cool J jump in with “all the way 2 Queens, NY! Then 2 Brick City” which could be in reference to the VMAs location in New Jersey.
