Rapper, actor and filmmaker Ice Cube has also indicated support for Dogecoin
Timothy Stebbing, a director at the Dogecoin Foundation, has tweeted about a meeting with Rapper Ice Cube as Dogecoin is set to be integrated into the Big3 league.
The Big3 professional basketball league was formed by Ice Cube and entertainment executive Jeff Kwatinetz, and the team’s rights were sold using non-fungible tokens (NFTs). The Big3 league opted to sell 25 fire-tier NFTs, giving the Killer 3s’ licensing, intellectual property (IP) and league-approved products to their new owners.

As previously reported by U.Today, Bill Lee, the founding chairman of MyDoge, a self-custodial Dogecoin wallet, purchased all 25 fire-tier editions of the Aliens, a Big3 team. U.S. rapper, actor and filmmaker Ice Cube has also indicated support for Dogecoin.
Big3 is adopting Dogecoin as a result of the purchase, culminating in the integration of the MyDoge wallet, which allows players, coaches and teams to earn Dogecoin tips on Twitter. MyDoge/Dogecoin will also be prominently displayed by the Aliens on team jerseys, events and broadcasts.
