Blake Shelton Tricks Adam Levine Into Buying $5,000 Teacup Pig

Adam Levine recounted a prank Blake Shelton played on him involving a $5,000 purchase of a so-called 'teacup pig' for Levine's then-girlfriend, model Behati Prinsloo. Levine was unaware that teacup pigs do not actually exist and that the animal would grow to be very large; Shelton knowingly kept this information from him. After only three weeks, Levine and Prinsloo gave the pig away to a girl on a farm, only to later discover the pig had grown to approximately 400 pounds. When Levine confronted Shelton about the deception, Shelton admitted to the prank and refused to return the money. This story highlights the playful and costly nature of the longtime friendship and rivalry between the two singers, who previously coached together on The Voice. Levine shared this anecdote during an episode of Hot Ones, illustrating the humorous but expensive antics they engage in.
