Rapper Iggy Azalea Bets on Crypto With New Web3 Casino

Rising rap star Iggy Azalea is making waves in web3 with the announcement of her new online crypto casino, playfully dubbed “Motherland”. Unveiled with much fanfare at Azalea’s “Motherland Rodeo” event in Singapore, this wild west-themed gambling site will let players try their luck at slots, card games, sports betting and more when it launches this November.

The casino is powered by Azalea’s own “MOTHER” memecoin and comes on the heels of her recent reboot of telco brand Unreal Mobile, which offers token holders sweet discounts. Her adviser Joe McCann teased that more real-world utility is in the works for MOTHER holders. He makes the cheeky but true point that “all cryptocurrencies are memecoins” when you get down to it.

While ambitious, the value of MOTHER has sadly not matched Azalea’s hustle so far, having crashed over 78% since its headline-grabbing launch. But her relentless drive to leverage her bold personal brand to bring value to her community puts her at the forefront of celebrity innovation in web3.

With her trademark quirky style, Azalea seems to be betting big that her “Motherland” gamble will pay off for both her currency and her fans.
