Not the first crypto holder from the music industry
A few years ago, other music celebrities also showed interest in cryptocurrencies—Monero in particular. Back in 2017, some celebrities accepted XMR for their albums and merchandise during the holiday season.
Among them were Morrissey, Marilyn Manson, Alice Cooper, Motorhead, Roger Waters, Slayer, Bush, Scorpions and others.
In 2014, rapper 50 Cent accepted Bitcoin for his “Animal Ambition” album, when BTC cost only as much as $662. The amount of BTC collected back then made the musician a Bitcoin millionaire.
