Madonna’s entry into NFTs was not well received by her fans. One person remarked, “Please delete this.” Another fan advised the pop icon not to jeopardize his illustrious musical heritage by endorsing dubious cryptocurrency initiatives.
The majority of the responses reflect the growing anti-NFT stance. “Another commenter expressed disappointment, saying, “I’ve always looked up to you, but this is incredibly sad.”
Madonna joins musicians Justin Bieber and Eminem as the most high-profile celebrity to join the NFT trend thus far. Despite having had minimal economic success in the last decade, she is still the most successful female artist of all time, having sold over 300 million albums worldwide.
