The Maroon 5 singer has revealed that Shelton tricked him into forking over $5,000 to secure a not-so-little miniature pig for his partner, Behati Prinsloo. "My now-wife, then-brand-new girlfriend, she said she really wanted a teacup pig," Levine explained to Sean Evans on the most recent episode ofHot Ones. "And I didn't know what that was, but of course the first person I would ask [would be Shelton]… So I asked Blake. I'm like, 'What's a teacup pig?' He's like, 'I'll get you a teacup pig. Yeah, give me five grand.'"

"We had to give it to a little girl on a farm," Levine said. "We're like, 'Send us pictures! We can't wait to not be responsible for this animal anymore! Just show us pictures!'" He continued, "She sends us a picture like six months later and the pig is like 400 pounds. I'm like, 'Dude, what if this animal had grown to be this big in my house?!'" He then confronted Shelton over the size of the alleged "teacup pig," calling out the country singer's big fat mistake. "I'm just like, 'Blake, bro, $5,000 for a pig that wasn't a micro pig?'" Levine recalled. "And he's like, 'You're an idiot! There's no such thing as f---ing teacup pigs, you dumbass!' So that was a pretty good prank that he played on me." To make matters worse, Levine revealed that Shelton refused to give him back the money he paid to get the pig: "He's like, 'No!'"

Shelton, who owns a ranch outside of his music and television endeavors, isn't wrong. Teacup pigs are actually just potbellied pigs that are either underfed or falsely advertised as tiny to trick prospective owners into buying them, perPETA. The cute critters do not stay nearly as small as one would expect given their nickname — they can grow up to be well over 100 pounds.
