The rapper on Wednesday took to Instagram to share an image about the development. Titled ‘I F***** RYDER RIPPS, the 24-minute album is the first ever sex-tape NFT, or non-fungible token, according to Vice.
Ripps, who is a conceptual artist and programmer, had minted the NFT tied to the album on Saturday, listing it at $17,240.40. An artist named Rulton Fyder bought it for the listed price nine hours later.
Vice quoted the listing of the tape as, “This sale is for the full rights and sole access to the first audio sex-tape to be minted on the blockchain. Recorded in February 2021 by Azealia Banks and boyfriend, Ryder Ripps, this sound based artwork is sure to titillate for its full 24:22 duration.”
The listing added, “Upon purchase, a WAV file will be delivered to the buyer in addition to a 1 of 1 signed LP vinyl record. Full ownership, including limitless distribution and display rights are included in this sale. Don’t miss out on this historic & sexy event.”
Fyder now has the complete ownership of the album along with the distribution, display rights and the only available vinyl record.
