Kanye West 可能已经改变了他对 NFT 的看法，因为他现在为他的品牌 Yeezus 提交了 17 个商标申请。
1 月，Kanye——企业家、说唱歌手、时装设计师，并被誉为他那个时代最有影响力的嘻哈艺术家——在 Instagram 上展示了一张个人笔记照片，上面写着：“不要让我做他妈的 NFT……以后再问我。”
这一通过 Instagram 发表的声明给公众留下了 Kanye West 对 NFT 根本不感兴趣的印象。好吧，至少在那个时候。在撰写本文时，上述有争议的 Instagram 帖子现已删除。

在该声明发布几个月后，Kanye 可能会有一些进入 Web3 领域的计划。当他在他的 IG 帖子上说“稍后再问我”时，这是现实的，因为他可能在几个月后重新考虑进入 NFT 领域。
他于 5 月 27 日提交的 Yeezus 品牌商标申请表明，这些申请属于“基于区块链的不可替代的收藏品、资产、货币和代币”和“以可下载的电影、视频、电视、音乐、娱乐、数字艺术。”

同时，考虑到它是在 1B 申请下，表示未来有意使用该商标，因此不确定何时使用这些商标。这些申请确定了元宇宙和 NFT 商标的潜在用途。
具体产品的细节尚不清楚，因为备案仅提供了基本信息，并没有提供有关 NFT 和元宇宙类型的信息。商标申请还包括来自元宇宙和 NFT 空间的其他产品，例如化妆品、视频游戏、游乐园、零售店、服装等。
