R&B superstar The Weeknd has made a lot of digital art fans happy today, as the celebrity bought over $70,000 worth of FVCKRENDER NFTs. Recently, the NFT art designer rocked the boat with his highly successful FVCK _ CRYSTAL project, which converted into a $36 million revenue.

FVCKRENDER’s idea is to merge human experience with robot experience. This hybrid is both Sci-Fi like and old school in the way that human feelings are portrayed. The creator of NFTs also implements natural elements in his futuristic-vibe NFTs. For instance, a shiny scorpion is portrayed rolling around, chained with chromatic trippy mushrooms. Besides, the darkwave style of the NFTs is trendy among those Web3 dwellers who are digging Lo-Fi music, grunge aesthetics and vapor culture.
Moreover, there’s a huge satisfied client list that Mr. FVCKRENDER can be proud about. These include:
- Hypebeast
- Supreme
- Swarovski
- Spotify
- TIME
- Avant Arte
- Supreme
- DIOR

The Weeknd’s Full Dive into the Web3 Ocean
The Weeknd (real name Abel Makkonen Tesfaye) scored a deal with Binance just last month. The Canadian singer will be the first musician ever to have a Web3-powered tour. The tour began on July 8th and has a dedicated NFT collection, in collaboration with the creative arts incubator HXOUSE.
The tour is called “After Hours Til Dawn” and in celebration of the event, Binance will donate $2 million dollars to The Weeknd’s XO Humanitarian Fund, which he launched earlier this year. Moreover, the humanitarian aid food works like a food bank in areas severely affected by famine. While providing food and water for those who are the most needy, music lovers can come and get some soul food for their ears and hearts in the ongoing tour. Furthermore, The Weeknd’s next performance is in Atlanta, while the tour’s culmination will be on September 22, 2022 in Toronto, Canada.
