Murda Beatz, known for his popular music collaborations with Drake, Nicki Minaj, Travis Scott, and others, has bought himself some Bitcoin.
Anthony Pompliano congratulated him on becoming the newest Bitcoiner and asked his followers to welcome him - which they happily did.
The crypto industry has long attracted the involvement of celebrities.
Gwyneth Paltrow is another famous celebrity who advocates for Bitcoin.
She was also the advisor at the Bitcoin wallet, Abra.
The actor also invested in BitPay - a Bitcoin payment service provider.
Former UFC fighter Ben Askren tweets about crypto regularly and supported the last Bitcoin halving by literally changing his name on Twitter to "Bitcoin Halving May 13.".
Over the years, Bitcoin has also managed to turn certain skeptics into bulls.
In one such incidence, business intelligence firm MicroStrategy recently bought $425 million worth of Bitcoin, after its CEO Michael Saylor had said that Bitcoin's "Days were numbered" back in 2013.
The crypto space is still far from reaching mainstream adoption, so the involvement of celebrities does help bring attention from people who may not hear about crypto otherwise.
