Big Boi Shows Off His Owls And People Lose Their Minds

Big Boi has dropped this behind-the-scenes ‘Hootie Hoo Part 2’ video that no one saw coming, and the internet is going crazy about it. Outkast legend bigboi posted a video that says “Hootie Hoo part 2… Behind the scenes.. 🛸,” showing him just kicking it with some really cool owls. That’s right-an owl! Not the typical celebrity flex, but then again, Big Boi’s never been the typical.

In this piece of video footage, he is with birds, like it’s the most normal thing in the world. And honestly? It shows. This is the same man who once had a power to speak with animals in a comic book as ATLiens album has in its booklet, as one fan, Au Jus, posted on Twitter. “Remember the inside album cover booklet for ATLiens had an Outkast comic book & Big Boi’s power was communicating with animals,” they tweeted. And honestly? That tracks.

Pure awe and flat-out disbelief rounded out responses. “You could record a verse with them next to the mic and they wouldn’t cause any problems,” joked Áshtre Súrfa!, while KJ called it “such John Hanna level gangsta shit.” Others, like Britt210, were, however, opting for the tried and tested approach: “If I trust any celebrity with wild animals or any animal at all, it would be Big Boi.”

Then there are those, who just wanted to be, around. “Yo I want one,” tweeted Sa Ash, and honestly? Same. Just to build on that, the National Reparations Commission even dropped an ASCII art-masterpiece owl captioned ‘HOOT HOOT’ just for fun.

So what’s next? A Nat Geo show? “You should have a Nat Geo or Discovery Channel show. Take the crew to the schools. Kids need more animals in their lives,” said Slum Beat Lord. And honestly? That’s not the worst idea. Big Boi flexed all the way from dogs to owls as his flexing animal kingdom connections. Now we just wait for him to casually drop a video of a lion or something.

Some fans just had to connect it with Outkast. ‘Hootie HOOOOOO 🤍💀🤍,’ tweeted ChristySkulls, referring to the classic track; another user joked, ‘white owls are burnin kinda sloooow,’ referring to “Elevators.”

Inevitably, there were also the expected barbs about rich folk. ‘You can tell when a nigga got a couple of dollars,’ tweeted L V, and honestly? Fair enough. Owls are hardly a pet on a budget. But then again, with Big Boi, it’s always been about the music, the style-and now-the wildlife

He is basically living the best life and the internet is eating it all up. Whether it’s spitting fire or flying with birds of prey, Big Boi has it unpredictable-and that’s why we love him.
