A UAE-based firm, 3FM, has won the bid to own the viral coffin dance by Nana Otafrija pallbearers from Ghana.
This was after the popular meme was auctioned online as an art piece for interested individuals and firms to buy.
3FMusic announced the deal via its Twitter handle, stating that it is one of the top meme auctions ever conducted and that the company feels proud about its achievement in winning the bid.
The official Coffin Dance has finished at a groundbreaking 327 ETH ($1,045,409). This is historically now one of the top meme auctions and rightfully deserved. Congrats to @nanaotafrija for joining us and @3fmusic for collecting this fantastic piece ⚰️✨ pic.twitter.com/tOhsL6BpQR
