Lil Uzi Vert paid a visit to an exotic pet shop and walked away with a brand-new piglet.
Earlier this week, Uzi touched down in New Jersey and stopped by NJ Exotic Pets, hoping to adopt a piglet as a pet. The store didn’t have any piglets, as the new shipment would arrive on Wednesday, but that didn’t stop Uzi and their crew from checking out the other animals, from snakes to ferrets.
According to the store’s spokesperson, Uzi wanted to be notified when the shipment came in, which happened a few days later. In a photo shared by the store’s Instagram page, Uzi is smiling from ear to ear while holding the baby pig in his arms.
“[They’re] a great, beautiful person who loves animals,” the spokesperson said about Uzi. “[They’re] very down to Earth.”

While Uzi is out and about searching for pets, they recently starred in a new campaign for Marc Jacobs. The campaign, shot by Nick Newbold, highlights the new limited edition Stephen Sprouse medium tote bag, which cost $550 but sold out within minutes of its release.
Uzi also starred in the luxury brand’s 40th anniversary campaign alongside FKA Twigs, Dakota Fanning, Cindy Sherman, and more earlier this year. They also were featured in Marc Jacobs’ 2022 Spring/Summer campaign, which was shot by Mario Sorrenti.
