# If You Invested $1000 In Bitcoin When Eminem Mentioned The Crypto In Best-Selling Album 'Kamikaze', Here's How Much You'd Have Today

Grammy award-winning rapper **Eminem** is one of the few high-profile music celebrities to reference **Bitcoin** BTC/USD in their songs.

**What happened**: Back in August 2018, the musician released a track titled "Not Alike" from the best-selling album "Kamikaze."

The song also featured fellow rapper **Royce Da 5'9′** who sang these lines: "Member, everybody used to bite Nickel, now everybody doin’ Bitcoin."

To be precise, "Kamikaze" was released on Aug. 31. The rap turned out to be a good PR for Bitcoin, which back then was priced at $7,037.58.

So, if an investor got influenced by the rap, and parked $1000 in the cryptocurrency, it'd have fetched them 0.14 units then.

Now six years down the line, Bitcoin has swelled to $58,956.59, which means that 0.14 units will be valued at $8,253.84, representing a 725.38% increase.

**Why It Matters**: Apart from Eminem, other celebrity musicians have also time and again revealed their association with the leading cryptocurrency.

Grammy Award-winning rapper **50 Cent** was one of the first to board the bandwagon by accepting BTC as payment for his album "Animal Ambition" in 2014

Rap legend **Snoop Dogg** publicly talked about his Bitcoin holdings and has been a vocal advocate of the digital currency revolution.

**Nasir Jones,** popularly known as **Nas,** is another visionary Bitcoiner, who famously said that "Bitcoin will evolve into an industry as big, if not bigger, than the internet."
