Base Protocol Leader Apologizes for Art Phrase Controversy

Jesse Pollak, CEO of the Base protocol, has issued an apology following a controversial art piece featuring the phrase ‘Base is for pimping.’ Pollak clarified that the phrase was created by an artist he supports and not by himself or Base Marketing. While acknowledging the mistake, Pollak expressed regret for any confusion caused. He emphasized his commitment to supporting artists on the platform, including those who create provocative works. However, he acknowledged the need for caution when sharing messages, particularly if they appear to be from him. Pollak pledged to learn from this experience and improve in the future.
