Yuga Labs, the entity behind the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC), has been embroiled in rumors about Kevin Rose's advisory role. Initial congratulations to Yuga Labs and Kevin Rose sparked speculation. However, confusion ensued with conflicting reports about Rose's involvement. Yuga Labs CEO, Daniel Alegre, officially announced during a Town Hall that Kevin Rose would not be joining Yuga Labs, addressing the rumors head-on. This statement followed a series of ambiguous interactions, including a request from Yuga Labs for Rose to stop commenting on the company due to his reputation and a post by Rose co-signing Yuga's ecosystem, which was subsequently deleted. The clarification from Alegre during the Town Hall has put to rest the rumors of Rose's involvement with Yuga Labs.
