-{{ping|Digitalartmaster}} Trying to break down the requests here. If I understand correctly, your primary concern is that the Christie's interview ([https://www.christies.com/features/interview-with-cozomo-de-medici-12656-1.aspx]) casts doubt on Snoop Dogg and Cozomo being the same person, right? I've also found other sources (Vice: [https://www.vice.com/en/article/7kvnba/shocking-snoop-dogg-is-not-a-white-nft-influencer-in-italy], Slate: [https://slate.com/technology/2021/09/snoop-dogg-nft-crypto-cozomo-medici-twitter.html]) which suggest this claim is in doubt and has always been.

-This contains the following changes and fixes:
-* 2022 should be 2021 per the Fortune source ([https://fortune.com/2021/09/22/snoop-dogg-cozomo-de-medici-nfts-crypto-wallet/]), this appears to just be a typo
-* "while sharing his wallet address" isn't adding much clarity to the sentence
-* "blue chip NFTs" doesn't appear in source and scare quotes make it seem like a made-up term, replace
-* no need for such an extensive list of NFTs; a couple illustrate the point fine
-* add information that Snoop Dogg's claim was almost immediately disputed, pointing to the Vice article specifically. The Slate report is equally usable here.
-* add the christie's interview
-* minor smart quote fix
-I still don't love the first sentence but this reads better to me and incorporates the info you provided. What are your thoughts on this alternative?

-:::Also I went through Cozomo's wallets and it seems he never owned a Bored ape yatch club NFT.
-:::Majority of their holdings are in 1/1 artworks, by notable artists like XCOPY, DeeKay Motion and Sam Spratt.
