Rap superstar Ye, who changed his legal name from Kanye West last October, is not planning to roll out a non-fungible token (NFT) — at least not for now. However, he could change his mind later, according to the artist\u2019s recent Instagram\u00a0post.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy focus is on building real products in the real world,\u201d the musician wrote on a sheet of paper.\u00a0<\/p>\n

For those who might be wondering what kind of products he had in mind, Ye provided a few examples in his hand-written message to fans: real food, real clothes, real shelter.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cDo not ask me to do a fucking NFT,\u201d the rapper requested from his 10.5m followers on the social media platform.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In the post\u2019s accompanying caption, the Atlanta-born musician denies that his fans will see such a token anytime soon: \u201cSTOP ASKING ME TO DO NFT\u2019s I\u2019M NOT FINNA CO-SIGN \u2026 FOR NOW I\u2019M NOT ON THAT WAVE I MAKE MUSIC AND PRODUCTS IN THE REAL WORLD.\u201d<\/p>\n

At the same time, the letter\u2019s post scriptum leaves some hope for those who would be interested in purchasing a digital asset related to the artist.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cAsk me later,\u201d Ye wrote.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The latest statement comes as the rapper is readying to release his next album, Donda 2<\/i>, on February 22.<\/p>\n

Additionally, it follows the argument West made recently, stating that he should be paid for the photos the paparazzi take of him through the use of NFTs, as it’s unfair that he has no rights to the royalties from paparazzi photos.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Ye\u2019s ex-wife Kim Kardashian is among the celebrities who are being\u00a0sued\u00a0by an investor who alleges that they colluded with\u00a0Ethereum Max (EMAX)\u00a0co-founders Steve Gentile and Giovanni Perone to pump the price of the token and then dump them, leaving average investors out in the cold.<\/p>\n
