The lawsuit claims that the artist sought to “devalue the Bored Ape NFTs by flooding the NFT market with his own copycat NFT collection.'
The lawsuit claims that the artist sought to “devalue the Bored Ape NFTs by flooding the NFT market with his own copycat NFT collection using the original Bored Ape Yacht Club images and calling them “RR/BAYC” NFTs.”
The suit points out that Bored Ape NFTs “often resell for hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of dollars, and prominent celebrities are proud holders of Bored Ape NFTs,” adding that only 10,000 Bored Ape NFTs exist and that each is unique. Yuga Labs seeks a judgement restraining Ripps and associates from “engaging in further interference with its prospective economic relations,” as well as damages and attorneys’ fees.
An email seeking comment on the lawsuit from Ripps was sent to an address on his website, but no response had been received by time of publication.
