Currently, many people are still skeptical of the idea of purchasing land in the metaverse. After all, it isn’t “physical” land you’re getting. While the skeptics continue to sit back and assess the idea, those who believe in the metaverse and how it will shape the future have started making some serious moves.
In fact, an NFT collector who goes by the name of P-Ape reportedly purchased land next to legendary rapper Snoop Dogg. If you’re wondering who Snoop Dogg’s newest neighbor is and what metaverse the music mogul currently “resides” in, read on because we’ve dug up the details on it all.
Snoop Dogg is developing his own virtual world, Snoopverse, using The Sandbox platform.
In September 2021, Snoop Dogg announced via Twitter that he would be building his very own virtual world using The Sandbox platform. The first phase of the development of Snoopverse started on December 2, 2021, and has continued into 2022.
Snoopverse features 122 lands, 67 premium lands, and three estates, and provides you with a glimpse into the world of Snoop Dogg. Inside Snoopverse, you’ll be able to hang out with friends, attend live Snoop Dogg concerts, and collect Snoop’s one-of-a-kind digital artwork (NFTs).

Snoop Dogg’s newest neighbor, P-Ape, appears to be an NFT creator.
Snoop Dogg’s newest neighbor who paid a whopping $250,000 for a piece of land next to the “Doggfather” identifies himself on Twitter as Andie Wilder Spirit. The Twitter user also appears to be affiliated with onewilder.com, a website that sells luxury homes for the metaverse.
After Snoop’s new neighbor shared via Twitter the purchase details of his new metaverse land, Snoop retweeted the message and commented, “Won’t u be my neighbor.”
If you would also like to purchase metaverse land that neighbors Snoopville, you’re in luck because there are a few plots of land left.
