Snoop Dog Said He's Cozomo de' Medici, Who Just Gave LACMA an NFT Collection

LACMA has announced a gift and promised gift of 22 digital artworks from the mysterious Cozomo de' Medici, promoter of everything blockchain. In Sep. 2021 Snoop Dogg (Calvin Broadus) revealed that he is Cozomo de' Medici. This appears to have been a publicity stunt. Indirect evidence suggests that Cozomo de' Medici is white, shorter than Snoop Dogg, and lives in Italy. Cozomo theirself has floated theories that Elon Musk, George Clooney, or Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are Cozomo de' Medici. 

Cozomo is a big promoter of NFTs and, at this point, probably has more upside from the donation than LACMA does: "I'm thrilled to have these historically significant on-chain works contextualized beside many iconic works of art in LACMA's holdings."

The gift includes a work by "real artist" Cai Guo-Qiang, along with others exclusively known in the NFT community.
