American rapper Gazzy Garcia, known as Lil Pump, recently shared an Instagram post showcasing a tattoo that appears to feature the logo of the blockchain platform <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/solana/" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Solana</a>.
In his post, Garcia mentioned that he has sold his Solana tokens and asked his over 14 million followers for their thoughts on his new tattoos.
“Like my new tats? I sold my SOL,” Garcia wrote.
Lil Pump gained widespread fame for his 2017 single “Gucci Gang,” which reached number three on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart.
On Instagram, the reactions to Lil Pump’s tattoo were largely negative.
One fan commented that they missed the “old pump,” while another criticized the decision to replace existing tattoos with “some dumber ones.”
Some users questioned the authenticity of the tattoo, while others speculated about its potential impact on Solana’s price. One enthusiastic community member wrote, “To the moon! Gucci gain, Gucci gain, Gucci gain!”
On the platform X, a community member known as Trader Mayne criticized Garcia and his involvement in cryptocurrency.
“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 posted.
Garcia’s new tattoo emerges amid a broader decline in celebrity-backed crypto projects. As of June 6, many tokens launched by celebrities had fallen by at least 66%.
Tokens promoted by figures such as Caitlyn Jenner, rapper Rich the Kid, and Nigerian singer David Adedeji Adeleke Oon saw significant drops after initial gains.
Additionally, cryptocurrencies linked to boxing legend Floyd Mayweather and rappers Moneybagg Yo (SPEAK) and Trippie Red (BANDO) have plummeted by about 90%.
Despite these downturns, celebrities continue to promote new tokens.
On June 11, controversial social media personality Andrew Tate promoted a Solana-based memecoin called Daddy Tate (DADDY), which outperformed a project by Iggy Azalea despite allegations of insider trading.
Meanwhile, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin voiced his disapproval of the celebrity-driven memecoin trend, suggesting that financial ventures should only be justified if they contribute positively to society, such as by improving healthcare or promoting art and creativity.
