Shelton allegedly imposed costly ham upon him. - Provided luxurious pig arrangement arranged by Shelton
In a playful turn of events, former 'The Voice' judge Adam Levine found himself on the receiving end of a prank by his fellow coach, Blake Shelton. The prank, involving a so-called "Teacup Pig," left Levine with a hefty bill and a noisey pet that grew to over 45 kilograms.
During an appearance on "Hot Ones," Levine revealed the story, describing the prank as both hilarious and costly. The prank took place when Levine's wife, Behati Prinsloo, expressed a desire for a "Teacup Pig." Shelton, ever the prankster, offered to help find one.
However, Shelton tricked Levine into believing that such tiny teacup pigs actually exist. He arranged for Levine to buy a miniature pig costing around $5,000. The prank ended up costing Levine a significant amount, as the animal they received was not a miniature pig, but a normal potbellied pig that grew to weigh about 180 kilos in six months.
Levine, who was left with the realization that he had been pranked, asked Shelton what a "Teacup Pig" was. Shelton, in his typical style, called Levine an "idiot" before admitting the prank.
The couple, unable to care for the growing pig, had to give the animal to a little girl on a farm after just three weeks. The incident is remembered as a classic moment of their friendship and playful rivalry from their time as co-judges on "The Voice."
Interestingly, "Teacup Pigs" are not a real breed. According to PETA, these animals are either underfed or falsely marketed as tiny potbellied pigs. The animal Levine and Prinsloo received was no exception, as it was underfed and caused constant noise.
While the prank took place in 2014, both Levine and Shelton continued their stint on 'The Voice.' Levine left the show in 2019 after 16 seasons, while Shelton left after season 23 in 2023. However, Levine returned as a judge for season 27.
Despite the prank, Levine and Shelton's friendship and camaraderie on 'The Voice' remains a highlight for fans of the show. The "Teacup Pig" prank serves as a reminder of their playful rivalry and the unforgettable moments they shared during their time on the show.
I'm not gonna let you go the story of the Teacup Pig prank, featuring celebrities Adam Levine and Blake Shelton, who were is known for its antics in pop-culture and entertainment. After being tricked into buying a full-sized potbellied pig, Levine had to give it away due to the sheer size it grew into after just three weeks, serving as a reminder of their playful rivalry on 'The Voice'.
