Snoop Dogg and Eminem to Perform from the Metaverse During the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards

Snoop Dogg and Eminem are set to perform from the metaverse during the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards.

The rap legends revealed Thursday that their performance will transport fans to “a first-of-its-kind performance … inspired by the world of the Otherside metaverse.”

MTV will team up with Yuga Labs to bring the performance to life.

According to reports, Snoop Dogg and Eminem plan to create buzz around the platform before its formal launch by using NFTs and the cryptocurrency ApeCoin in the new virtual world. The Doggfather and Slim Shady will play their current single, “From the D 2 the L.B.C.,” during their performance.

The song, which marks Eminem and Snoop’s first joint effort in more than 20 years, has even earned them a VMA nomination for Best Hip Hop video.

Snoop and Em will be performing on the V.M.A. stage together for the first time since they did so with Dr. Dre in 1999.

The last time Slim Shady performed at the show was in 2010 when he performed “Not Afraid” and “Love the Way You Lie” with Rihanna, while Snoop was last seen honoring the Notorious B.I.G. with Diddy in 2005.
With everything they’ve been doing in the virtual reality world, the rap duo is establishing themselves more firmly in the metaverse. Their most recent single’s music video and cover art reference the metaverse, including the well-known Bored Ape NFTs. Additionally, it was said that Snoop persuaded Em to sign up for the platform in November 2021.
On Sunday at 8 p.m. E.S.T., the 2022 V.M.A.s will be broadcast live from the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. The show will be hosted by Jack Harlow, LL Cool J, and Nicki Minaj.
