Moneybagg Yo Had A Pet Tiger

by

A clip circulating the internet recently showcases a pet once owned by Moneybagg Yo. The rapper’s former pet may come as a surprise to some, as it’s not what one would typically expect. The clip features a white tiger, which Moneybagg Yo previously revealed he hasn’t seen in years, rolling around on the ground as a baby.

In an interview with BigBoyTV last month, Moneybagg Yo shared more about the unusual pet. He called the tiger a “stupid purchase,” revealing that he bought it in Houston when it was only a baby. The rapper said he had purchased the pet for around $15K alongside a monkey, which he later gifted to NBA YoungBoy. He explained that he only kept the pet for a couple of months before getting rid of it. The rapper says that he was on the go too much to properly care for it, and his entire team was “spooked” by the pet. Moneybagg Yo also shared that the tiger cost him a whopping $30,000 per month, just to feed it. The rapper explained that he purchased the pet more for excitement than to keep as a real pet. “I don’t even think I named it,” he revealed in the interview.

Moneybagg Yo’s White Tiger

Moneybagg Yo is hot off the release of his new mixtape Hard To Love, which he dropped earlier this month. The mixtape includes several high-profile features from Lil Durk, Future, GloRilla, and more. He dropped the first Hard To Love single, “Ocean Spray,” in May.

The rapper also just recently announced his highly-anticipated upcoming tour. The summer 2023 “Larger Than Life” tour begins in August. Moneybagg Yo is scheduled to make over 20 stops across the U.S., with notable dates in Atlanta, Chicago, Oakland, and more. The artist will be supported by Finesse2Tymes, Sexyy Red, Luh Tyler, Big Boogie, and YTB Fatt on the tour. The “Larger Than Life” tour will kick off on August 3 in Orlando, finishing up in Memphis in September.

Young Nudy Befriends A Bird: Watch

by

Young Nudy has been making waves in headlines in more ways than one. In recent years, he has become a viral sensation via Tik Tok with his songs “Hell Shell” and most recently his song “Peaches & Eggplants” with frequent collaborator, 21 Savage. The Atlanta Rapper is seen to be fascinated with the most random things. More recently, fans learn he may seemingly be an animal lover.

On May 10th, a video began to surface of Young Nudy and his friends being fascinated by a bird. Additionally, the bird is a white Parrot. In the beginning, he flips the camera around to show the bird. Nudy can be heard saying “Shawty got a bird, aye make it say something!” Notably, the parrot is best known for their ability to talk back to humans. The group proceeds to get the bird to talk to them. The bird can be seen moving around the 22-second clip while trying to eat the bottom of an ice cream cone. Additionally, the video is captioned with a few laughing emojis.

Young Nudy’s Random Fascinations

Moreover, fans noticed Nudy’s pattern of naming his songs after foods. Some of these include his singles “Loaded Baked Potato” and “Barbecue” from his 2017 highly acclaimed Nudy Land album. Nudy seemingly noticed the tweets made by fans as he released his latest album Gumbo. The project Gumbo contains only tracks named after food. Singles include “Passion Fruit,” “Brussel Sprout,” and “Duck Meat.” Additionally, the album also includes start-studded features from 21 Savage and Key Glock. Last month, he also went viral for his performance at UNC-Chapel Hill’s JUBILEE festival. Prior to his performance, Nudy smiled when he noticed a baby in the crowd. Additionally, he waved and said, “Aye look at the baby.” The lighthearted moment has now become a notable Tik Tok sound.

Furthermore, Nudy recently wrapped up his tour. The tour itself has been filled with viral moments. Next up, Nudy is set to perform at Rolling Loud Miami in July. What do you think about Nudy’s latest fascination with the white parrot? Let us know what you think in the comments below.

Boosie Badazz Names His Dog GloRilla

by

Boosie Badazz and GloRilla have shown love for each other in an unconventional manner. Though Boosie’s known to embrace much of the talent emerging out of the South, we’ve yet to see him and GloRilla on a track. However, his appreciation for the artist hasn’t been lost. Over the weekend, the Louisiana legend went on Instagram Live when he revealed that he named his dog GloRilla. “I named my dog GloRilla… Big Glo… Ole GloRilla, mane,” he said in the video. Some might look at it as some form of disrespect but that doesn’t seem to be the case.

Glo didn’t push back nor did she condemn Boosie for the gesture. Instead, she reciprocated the same energy toward Boosie. The Memphis star shared a video of her pet lizard on Instagram, which she named after the Baton Rouge rapper. “Say hey to my new addition,” she told her fans. “Hey, Boosie!” So far, Boosie hasn’t responded to GloRilla’s pet name reveal but we could imagine that he would be flattered to have a lizard named after him.

Boosie Badazz & GloRilla Name Their Pets After Each Other

Perhaps, this connection could lead to some sort of collaboration in the future. Boosie’s continued to make strides in his independent film career so perhaps, we’ll be able to catch a cameo from GloRilla in the near future. If not, maybe they’ll link up on a record. GloRilla’s currently riding high off of the release of the deluxe edition of Anyways, Life’s Great which features Lil Durk, among others. Plus, she kept the momentum high when she joined Drake on stage at Dreamville fest this weekend.

Meanwhile, Boosie Badazz has continued to make headlines with his antics, although he also delivered some excellent features recently. He teamed up with EST Gee on “HOTBOYS,”  a guttural banger that appears on the Louisville rapper’s new mixtape, MAD. Moreover, Boosie came through with a stand-out performance on DJ Drama’s I’m Really Like That. The rapper links up with OMB Peezy and the late Trouble on the single, “Iron Right.” Maybe a collab with GloRilla might be in the works next.

50 Cent Interrogates His Dog After It Chews Up His Weights

by

In his latest Instagram post on March 15th, 50 Cent shows off one of his gym weights. In the post, people can clearly see that the weight has been attacked by a furry animal. No words are spoken in the video, but it quickly becomes clear to people who may be responsible for the wreckage. As 50 cent pans his camera, his dog can be seen in the background. The Pink Panther theme song can be heard in the video. Despite the obvious evidence, 50 Cent starts a short investigation.

As the rapper approaches his dog, the canine doesn’t bother to even inspect the object by sniffing. Instead, he turns his head away from the crime scene. The reluctance to even look at the weight shows obvious signs of guilt from the dog. However, the poor puppy has currently not admitted to his actions. Despite his ruined gym equipment, 50 Cent can’t help but find the situation humorous. In his Instagram post, 50 Cent writes, “Yo. Look how he look away LOL he know what he did.”

50 Cent Gets To The Bottom Of The Crime Scene

However, despite the overwhelming evidence against him, many fans are in support of 50 Cent’s dog. Some are claiming that the dog is simply looking around to see who really did it. Others are suggesting that his pet was just trying to help the rapper workout by getting rid of some excess ounces on the weight. Regardless of whether or not the dog is guilty, it’s clearly impossible for anyone to stay mad at him. More than likely, his pet was simply excited to join his owner in his fitness plan.

The consumption of the gym equipment clearly came as a shock to the musician. The idea of being able to chew through something so tough is hard to wrap your head around. But from the dog’s on-screen appearance, it looks to be a Rottweiler breed. These breeds are known for their strength and toughness, which is fitting for the musician’s brand. But the tough exterior seems to fall flat on its face when it comes to reprimanding his dog. Check back in to see if 50 Cent is able to find the perpetrator of his ruined gym weights.

Let’s Enjoy Some Of The Most Adorable Pets In The Music Industry

Lady Gaga recently had to endure a pet owner’s worst nightmare: Her dog walker was shot and two of her beloved dogs were kidnapped. Fortunately, in a matter of days, the dogs were recovered and everything was in its right place. Gaga offered a $500,000 reward for whoever brought the dogs back, which just goes to show how much some people care about their pets. That got us thinking about other famous artists and their four-legged friends who we see pop up from time to time on social media and whatnot.

We’ve rounded up a handful of my favorites below, but this is by no means a comprehensive list of celebrity pets, so our sincerest apologies if your preferred artist’s furry/scaly/otherwise textured friend isn’t included. Now, if you’re recently found yourself asking, ‘Who’s a good boy,’ you can find some answers to that question below.

Coco, Toulouse, Cinnamon, Strauss, Lafayette, Pignoli, Myron, Snape, Lily, and Piggy Smallz (owned by Ariana Grande)

Grande’s dogs make social media appearances pretty often, but fans may not realize just how many puppers she actually has: According to Ariana Grande Wiki (which is surely the authoritative source on such matters), she currently owns nine dogs. That’s enough for 5-on-5 basketball if they let Grande’s pig Piggy Smallz play. As if that wasn’t enough, Grande is also working on an animal rescue center in Los Angeles, which indicates that she is perhaps the best friend to animals in the biz.

Lavender (owned by Dylan Baldi of Cloud Nothings and Sadie Dupuis of Speedy Ortiz and Sad13)

Towards the end of last year, indie-rock power couple Baldi and Dupuis decided to adopt Lavender, a pitbull with atypical facial features. In a recent interview with MTV News, Baldi said of Lavender, “She’s a one-of-a-kind dog. People will just stop and be like, ‘Look at this dog,’ and want to be with this dog in a way like no other dog I’ve seen. It’s like having a rare Pokémon.” He doubled down on his admiration of the unique pet with a Twitter follow-up: “if we did a tour, charged $50 for tickets, and all that happened was this dog came out onstage and walked around for a bit? you would still feel like you spent $50 correctly. incredible dog.”

Trappy S. Goyard (owned by 2 Chainz)

Like other famous pets, Trappy S. Goyard (which is easily the best name on this list) has his own Instagram account. Goyard probably also has a SAG card by now based on all the appearances they’d made. In addition to popping up on 2 Chainz’s Most Expensivest, Goyard also co-starred in the “Grey Area” video from earlier this year, in which Goyard and their human swapped heads.

Calippo and Dorito (owned by Ed Sheeran)

Sheeran stayed mostly out of the public eye during 2020 as he decided to take a break. What he didn’t stop doing, though, was posting about his cats on their dedicated Instagram page, which boasts over 300,000 followers. Calippo and Dorito are doing well, although Dorito could apparently stand to lose a bit of weight: In October, Sheeran shared a photo of the cats accompanied by a note that reads, “Don’t feed the cats!!! Even if Dorito gives you ‘the eyes’… She has a bad tum… naughty puss…”

Shark (owned by Billie Eilish)

About a month ago, Eilish celebrated the first birthday of Shark, the rescue dog she adopted in April. She wrote in a now-unavailable Instagram post, “My sweet rescue baby boy was born a year ago today. You have made my life 1000x better happy birfday little shark.” While the two share a special bond, the journey to today wasn’t without (expensive) complications: In August, Eilish shared that Shark left some unwanted presents in and around some pricey sneakers.

Foe Thee Frenchie (owned by Megan Thee Stallion)

Not many pets win awards, but Megan Thee Stallion’s has: Foe Thee Frenchie (who has nearly half a million Instagram followers and is coming after Trappy S. Goyard’s best-name-of-this-feature crown) was Paper‘s Celebrity Pet Of The Year for 2019. Meg recently shared a progress pic showing off how much Foe has grown over the course of five months, and understandably, in the more recent photo, Meg has a hard time carrying her increasingly large pet.

Alf (owned by Hayley Williams)

Hayley Williams’ dog Alf has been an important figure in her life and has helped her through some difficult times. She told EW, “I got Alf when he was, like, 11 weeks old. I raised him, but I feel like he raised me. I was 23 or 24 when I got him. He keeps me present because he’s present all the time: He’s so happy and very in tune with me when I’ve gone through life-altering changes or moments.”

On “Cinnamon,” from the 2020 album Petals For Armor, Williams sings, “On the walls of my home / There are signs that I’m alone / I keep on every light / Talk to my dog, he don’t mind.” She explained that lyric to Pitchfork, saying, “He was my first therapist. And he’s still my favorite therapist.” Around this time last year, she also told Apple Music’s Zane Lowe, “My dog is the reason I’m alive, because he would’ve been waiting on me to get home, no matter what. You know how little sweet little puppies sit and they wait? I couldn’t think about it.”

Georgia (owned by Tegan Quin of Tegan And Sara)

Dogs dominated Tegan And Sara’s “100x” video from 2016, and recently, Tegan got a pup of her own, named Georgia. Since then, she has documented the joys and struggles of raising a dog and there have been plenty of both. In November 2020, she tweeted, “Is there an umbrella for people who have a new puppy and have to take it out to pee 700 times a day and need both hands to pick up poo? *must cover human and dog.” While a lot of her Georgia tweets are scatological, there’s clearly a ton of love there and Georgia has essentially become Tegan’s everything. She tweeted in December, “All I dream about is my dog. She’s literally taken over every inch of my life including all dream real estate. It will make ZERO sense that she is in a dream situation, but inevitably she appears regardless. Is this normal?”

Kane Songz (owned by Trey Songz)

Trey Songz goes full method while running his dog’s Instagram account, which is presented entirely from the Frenchton’s perspective. On Father’s Day in 2018, for example, “Kane” posted a photo of him and his father playing basketball and “wrote,” “Happy Father’s day Pops!! Thanks for showing me how to break canine ankles out here in these streets!!” He even did what many others have failed to do when he saw John Cena one time.

Meredith Grey, Olivia Benson, and Benjamin Button (owned by Taylor Swift)

Yes, of course Taylor Swift is on this list. After all, Swift has proven to be perhaps the biggest cat person out there (heck, she portrayed a literal cat person in Cats). Thousands of words could be written about Swift’s cats and her love for them, so for this space, let’s just focus on Benjamin Button, the latest addition to the Swift family. Swift actually decided to adopt the cat on the set of her “Me!” video and described how that came to be, saying on Instagram Live in 2019, “[A cat handler handed me this tiny cat and he just starts purring and […] he looks at me like, ‘You’re my mom, and we’re going to live together.’ I fell in love. I looked at Brendon [Urie] and he’s like, ‘You’re going to get the cat aren’t you?’”
