YEREVAN (CoinChapter.com)- Canadian singer and teen icon Justin Bieber has just boarded the Bored Ape Yacht Club community train. According to confirmed reports, the celebrated singer bought BAYC #3001 earlier today.

It seems Bieber has been on an NFT shopping spree. In a matter of three hours, he has dived into three popular nonfungible token projects. The pop star now not only holds BAYC #3001 but also has NFTs from Doodles and World of Women.
The 27 years old paid 13 ETH (around $34,000) for Doodle #8426. His Doodle NFT comes with a face covered with a pink bandana and a pink bucket cap. He also sports a body tan and a puffer jacket.
For his new World of Woman #7853 NFT, Bieber cashed out 16 ETH (over $41,000). The character features a woman with a lollipop hairdo, pearl earrings, and a rainbow necklace.
Besides these NFTs, Bieber also holds InBetweeners #3777, which is his Twitter profile picture at the time of writing. GianPiero, the artist who designed the singer’s Changers Merchandise, is behind the project.
The project’s roadmap also promises its NFT holders a mystery utility with Justin Bieber.
