Rapper Lil Pump, known for hits like “Gucci Gang”, has gotten a tattoo of Solana Blockchain Logo on his forehead, creating ripples in his 14 million strong followers community on Instagram. 
Pump shared a picture of him sporting the new tattoo ”SOLANA” on his forehead on his official Instagram account and captioned the picture, “I sold my SOL.” The tattoo and not so cryptic caption fueled speculations in his fans regarding Pump’s crypto investments. 
While some fans cheered Pump’s bold ink, others weren’t as thrilled. Comment sections buzzed with criticism, with one user lamenting they missed the “old Pump,” and another questioning the wisdom of swapping out previous tattoos.&nbsp; 
Doubts about the tattoo’s authenticity also surfaced, though some optimistically speculated it could boost SOL’s value.

 Your crypto grifts are as shitty as the music you make. The good news is you are so bad at both you can’t make money doing either.— Mayne (@Tradermayne) <a href="https://twitter.com/Tradermayne/status/1801351094922318210?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">June 13, 2024</a>

Criticism wasn’t limited to Pump’s tattoo choice. Trader Mayne targeted Pump’s crypto ventures, dismissing them as lackluster as his music career. The rapper’s move comes amidst a broader downturn for celebrity-backed cryptocurrencies. 
Recent ventures by figures like Caitlyn Jenner and Floyd Mayweather have seen significant drops in value, casting doubt on the sustainability of such projects. 
Despite the setbacks, celebrities continue to dive into the crypto craze. Just days ago, controversial personality Andrew Tate pushed a new Solana-based meme coin, outshining even Iggy Azalea’s similar efforts despite allegations of insider trading. 
Amidst the buzz, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin voiced skepticism about celebrity-driven coins, urging that crypto’s true potential lies in societal benefit rather than fleeting trends. As debates over Pump’s tattoo and celebrity crypto projects continue to swirl, one thing remains clear: the intersection of fame and finance in the crypto world is as volatile as ever.
