Adam Levine not too long ago revealed the $5,000 prank Blake Shelton pulled on him once they had been each coaches on The Voice — and the nation singer by no means paid again the Maroon 5 frontman, both.
On the July 3 episode of the Sizzling Ones podcast, the “She Will Be Beloved” crooner detailed the costly prank involving a “teacup pig.” The breed of swine doesn’t truly exist. However some breeders use the time period to mislead individuals into shopping for potbellied pigs which might be underfed however can truly to turn into lots of of kilos.
“My now-wife, then-brand-new girlfriend [Behati Prinsloo], she mentioned she actually needed a teacup pig. And I didn’t know what that was,” Levine recounted to host Sean Evans.” So I requested Blake. I’m like, ‘What’s a teacup pig?’ He’s like, ‘I’ll get you a teacup pig. Yeah, give me 5 grand.’”
He then issued a blunt PSA, warning others, “Please don’t get a pig. They scream and squeal in the event you don’t take note of them. They scream and squeal in the event you do.”
After three weeks, he and Prinsloo re-homed the animal. “We needed to give it to a little bit lady on a farm,” Levine defined. “We’re like, ‘Ship us footage, we will’t wait to not be liable for this animal anymore! Simply present us footage!’”
The lady despatched them a photograph about six months later, and the pig was “like 400 kilos.”
“I’m like, ‘Dude, what if this animal had grown to be this large in my home?!’” Levine identified.
Finally, Levine spoke to Shelton concerning the measurement of the “teacup pig,” and the “Austin” singer revealed the reality.
“I’m similar to, ‘Blake, bro, $5,000 for a pig that wasn’t a micro pig?’” Levine instructed Evans. “And he’s like, ‘You’re an fool! There’s no such factor as f***ing teacup pigs, you dumba**!’ In order that was a fairly good prank that he performed on me.”
On high of all of it, Shelton didn’t refund Levine his cash.
The frenemies served as coaches on The Voice collectively; Levine for Seasons 1–16 (and 27) and Shelton for the primary 23 seasons.
