“’The Breakfast Club’ is the most culturally relevant morning show in America, and the tireless work Charlamagne, Envy and Angela do everyday to elevate artists and shine lights on the important issues are inspiring to us all,” says Lin Dai, CEO and co-founder of one of. “OneOf has always been committed to be the most inclusive NFT platform since our founding, backed by Quincy Jones, over 80% of OneOf NFT collections are by black or minority artists. There’s no better partner than ‘The Breakfast Club’ to educate the mass audience about importance of NFT technology to the music community.”
OneOf and iHeartRadio first partnered in the fall of 2021, when the platform created the official collectible NFT for the annual iHeartRadio Music Festival featuring performances by some of the biggest artists in music. The collection featured one million free NFTs and participating fans were eligible to receive tickets to the festival as well as limited-edition iHeartRadio Music Festival NFT artwork.
Since then OneOf has announced major partnerships with Warner Music Group, The Grammy Awards and their launch into sports with the Sports Illustrated covers series that celebrates superstar athletes including Muhammad Ali, Shaquille O’Neal, Emmitt Smith, Jerry Rice and more. OneOf’s recent Whitney Houston Collection made headlines when a never-before-heard Whitney Houston song made when she was 17 was sold at auction on OneOf for $1 million.
