‘OutKast’ Rapper Big Boi Brings Pet Owl On Stage – And Then It Gets Away

At a recent college football game performance, Big Boi decided to bring out one of his pet owls with mixed results.

Big Boi, whose real name is Antwan Patton, was performing at Kennesaw State University in Georgia when the rapper went onstage with the owl, which is a nod to the school’s mascot, started to flap its wings and tried to go down to the ground.

During this accident, Sleepy Brown, who was the other performer, took to the microphone to distract the crowd. Big Boi could be seen trying to tend to the owl. A handler then came to Big Boi’s aid to take the owl away from him.

Big Boi’s affinity isn’t something new – he owns a total of four pet owls. In 2021, Big Boi showed off one of his pet owls, Hootie, in a social media video.

Last month, he helped induct Kate Bush into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
