Influencer Formerly Associated with Azuki Postpones NFT Drop After Plagiarism Accusations

On the eve of her NFT drop on Wednesday, pseudonymous digital artist and researcher Elena was accused of plagiarizing artistic assets in her collection. Elena, who amassed a following of nearly 90,000, previously described herself as the “researcher in residence” at blue-chip NFT collection Azuki, though that designation has since been wiped from her Twitter page.
