Nathan Apodaca, who posted a TikTok clip of him skateboarding to “Dreams” that went viral in 2020, wanted to create an NFT of it.
Apodaca’s representative told TMZ that the now-famous skateboarder and cranberry juice drinker wanted to make an NFT of his viral video. However, the rights to ‘Dreams”, which he listened to in the clip, belong to Warner Music Group. He needed permission from Fleetwood Mac’s singer Stevie Nicks, who refused to grant it.
Apodaca’s rep claimed that Nicks refused an offered 50/50 split, despite an opening bid of $500,000. The auction will go ahead with the original audio instead of the song. As BeInCrypto pointed out previously, this means that the winning bidder is essentially purchasing the raw video. CryptoCake is Apodaca’s partner in the NFT event.
