New York rap veteran Nas is reportedly invested in a new company which is making headlines for using bugs in its protein bars.

According to reports, Nasty Nas is now a business partner with Brooklyn-based company Exo.

The company just closed a $4 million round of Series A funding led by Accel Foods — including Nas — bringing its total funding to $5.6 million. Exo cofounders Greg Sewitz and Gabi Lewis started experimenting with cricket-based food when they were seniors at Brown University, after reading a United Nations report that said eating insects could help combat world hunger.

A few days ago, rap star Kanye West promised to produce on Nas’ upcoming untitled solo album.

Nasty Nas hopped onto his Instagram page with a few reactions to Ye’s promise.

Last September, Mass Appeal CEO Peter Bittenbender provided fans with an update on Nas’ long-awaited follow-up to 2012’s Life Is Good album.

“Actually, I love talking about it, because every time I talk about it, I feel like I’m helping bring it to life. Nas is working to deliver this next record to Def Jam, which will be his last [for them]. I haven’t been too involved in that, so I can’t tell you when it’s coming. Once that’s out, then Lost Tapes will follow shortly after. It’ll definitely be a 2016 release, hopefully earlier in the year than later. The music’s amazing. It carries on what he built with the first Lost Tapes. The fans are gonna love it.” (Drip)
