justin bieber just made one of the biggest purchases in the world of NFTlosing $1.3 million on a “Bored monkey!”
The “Yummy” singer reportedly purchased one of the most expensive pieces of digital art, “Bored Ape #3001,” adding to his already healthy collection of NFTs.
According to reports, JB paid 500 ETH for the monkey, and at current rates, that’s worth seven figures. Interestingly, the monkey itself is a monkey that appears to be crying and hasn’t shaved for a few days. In other words, he looks a little depressed.

the ‘Non-fungible token‘ was bought by a OpenSea account called, JustinBieberNFT’s, which is believed to be owned by the pop star. The account owns over 100 NFTs, including recent purchases from projects such as Doodles, CloneX, and Woman’s world. On the same day, according to reports, he also purchased a WoW NFT for 16 ETH.
Incredibly, the purchase is only the seventh amount of cryptocurrency paid for a Bored Ape.
Now the interesting thought is that Justin Bieber might be working with the Bored Ape Yacht Club on a special performance or do business with the current owners. If you’re not in that market yet, BAYC is known for throwing exclusive parties for its holders with guest appearances by musicians and comedians. It is therefore possible that Justin’s adventure in this world indicates that he will perform during the next event!

Also, as we pointed out, Bieber decided to buy an Ape who seems to be suffering from a little depression. The singer has been very open about his mental health issues, including anxiety and depression.
“I think there were times when I was really, really suicidal, like really, ‘Dude, is this pain ever going to go away?’ It was so constant, the pain was so constant. I was just in pain, so I was just like, ‘Man, I’d rather not feel this than feel this,'” he told the Today show. The singer said he was not ready for the rise to fame. “I had no idea what was coming. I had no idea this life would take me by storm. I had no idea I would just be sucked into it all,” he said .
