Logic’s “MTV Cribs” Spoof Video Tours His Incredible 16-Bedroom Mansion

by

At its peak, MTV Cribs had an impressive roster of guests appearing on the iconic show, from Snoop Dogg and 50 Cent to Missy Elliott and Usher. The reality series took a hiatus for years but made a return in 2021 to tour the residences of celebrities like Heidi and Spencer Pratt, Ray J, and Ariel Winter. Another famous face who didn’t quite make it onto the show, but still wanted to give us a look into his home is Logic, who uploaded a 15-minute video to YouTube this past weekend taking fans inside.

As HipHopDX notes, the College Park rapper acknowledges in his post that some viewers may not be familiar with MTV Cribs in 2023. Still, he leaned into the hit show’s classic iconography, having fun and cracking jokes the whole way through. “From food stamps and welfare to a muthaf*ckin’ mansion baby,” the 33-year-old laughs to the camera. “I’m so happy to be here today, this shit is crazy. Muthaf*cka’s rich.”

Logic Lets Fans Into His Home

Among the unique artifacts that the soon-to-be father of two chooses to highlight are a 1,000-pound door, two music studios and a separate content studio, plus artwork made of real gold. Additionally, Logic and his family have two kitchens, 16 bedrooms, and 24-hour live-in security to ensure their safety at all times. “God damn, we made it!” he exclaims after stepping out onto one of the room’s private balconies.

“Sometimes I come out here and I just reminisce, man. I think about where I came from… Obviously, I’m being funny, but I really mean this. Like, I can’t believe this, this is insane. Look where we’re at today,” he told viewers. “But dude, I’m not kidding when I say I ate cereal with powdered milk. I went hungry. My mom would choose cigarettes over food some nights. The come-up is a real one. And I’m just so blessed and so happy to be here,” Logic added, reflecting on his humble beginnings and the hard work he had to put in to reach the heights he has today.

Anderson .Paak celebrated the holidays with his family in a hilarious way: by making his mom a fake episode of MTV’s Cribs. After he bought her a four-bedroom house in Las Vegas in 2019, he enlisted photographer Isabel Ramos to help show off the special property.

The video, which .Paak posted on his Instagram, has the same classic Cribs logo and graphic style. “WAIT MY MOM WAS ON @mtv #CRIBS ?!?!? SICK!!!” he captioned.

His mother plays along in the skit, as she answers the door.

“Merry Christmas, Happy New Year,” she greets. “I’m Brenda, Anderson .Paak’s mother.”

From there, the video shows some family photos before jumping into a short reel of videos of .Paak’s career. “Come on into my humble abode,” Brenda welcomes.

“Let’s check out my living room, my kitchen, and my dining area,” she gestures. In typical mom fashion, she has vegan butter in the fridge and framed signs that read “But first, coffee” and “Wine a little, laugh a lot.” Brenda does some cooking in the process of filming.

In her home, she also supports her musician son with posters of Silk Sonic, his rug merch, and his snare drum collection. There are also loads of other surprises in the fun video as .Paak himself even makes an appearance.

Once upon a time, MTV delivered exclusive tours of homes owned by some of the biggest names in the entertainment world. The series Cribs debuted in 2000 and in just five year, the show had visited the properties of nearly 200 musicians, actors, and athletes. (The one with Mariah Carey was the series’ most-watched episode.) While the show was placed into syndication in 2008, Cribs has debuted a number of new episodes over the years through platforms like CMT and Snapchat. Now, more the two decades after its initial premiere, new episodes of the show are set to return to MTV this summer.

The new episodes are set to premiere on MTV starting on Wednesday, August 11 at 9:30 p.m. ET/PT. The 30-minute episodes will allow viewers to get an exclusive look at the homes of celebrities like Big Sean, Rick Ross, Tinashe, and JoJo Siwa. Other names like Nick Young, Tia Mowry, Marsai Martin, Scott Disick, Martha Stewart, Jordyn Woods, and Kathy Griffin will also open their doors for MTV’s cameras.

“Cribs didn’t simply introduce the celebreality genre, it created a blueprint for how we engage on social media,” Nina L. Diaz, President of Content and Chief Creative Officer, MTV Entertainment Group, said. “We are thrilled to usher in a new era of this iconic franchise for audiences around the world.”
