What You Need To Know
The Bored Ape Yacht Club, which Yuga Labs founded, allows NFT holders to monetize their photographs. Bored Apes have been utilized for a variety of products. Including clothes, beer, and marijuana packaging. As well as virtual band ventures and prospective film and television productions.
In other words, Snoop’s dessert restaurant isn’t an “official” Yuga Labs-created Bored Ape restaurant. But the rapper is completely within his rights to utilize his own NFT image for it.

An NFT is a digital image of an ape that serves as proof of ownership and access to a community of owners, commercial rights, and other privileges.
Bored & Hungry follows in the footsteps of the impending dessert shop. As Decrypt observed when visiting the café in April.
It has branding and design inspired by the restaurant’s creators’ Bored Ape and Mutant Ape Yacht Club NFTs. Food Fighters Universe intends to establish its own NFTs, which will offer a variety of benefits in the vicinity of its restaurants.

Snoop Dogg is already well-known in the NFT world. He is the owner of Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs and has worked on projects like Ethereum’s The Sandbox and Cardano’s Clay Nation. Snoop Dogg also released NFTs inspired by the Nyan Cat meme.

Snoop’s kid, Cordell Broadus, goes by the Twitter handle Champ Medici and is also a part of the restaurant project.
“Food Fighters Universe is bridging food and Web3 and blazing a trail with real-life utility for NFTs,” said Cordell, in a release. “It’s the future of the restaurant industry, and my dad and I are thrilled to join the team and utilize their expertise to bring Dr. Bombay to life.”
