<h2>Bored Ape Yacht Club Hype Continues</h2>
In an Instagram post on Thursday, pop singer Madonna revealed she had “finally entered the Metaverse” by purchasing her very own Bored Ape NFT, a cartoon monkey with an ‘S&amp;M hat,’ adorned with evil-eye symbols on its fur body.
<blockquote>“I finally entered the metaverse,” said Madonna. “My very own Ape! What should I name her?” adding, “We all need protection from evil eyes.”</blockquote>
She further gave a shout out to MoonPay, a crypto payments firm that has been purchasing NFTs on behalf of celebrities since late last year, for helping her in purchasing the NFT.
