Jason Derulo Showed N3on His Living Room Shark Tank and Now Everybody Has Opinions About It
A pop star, a streamer, a tank full of sharks, and the internet doing what the internet does. Per usual.
Darlings, the man cannot simply stream from a couch like the rest of us. Somehow, N3on has ended up inside Jason Derulo's home, staring into a living room shark tank, and the whole situation has since exploded into a backlash cycle that nobody asked for but everyone is watching.
According to Yahoo coverage from June 18th, Derulo invited N3on to tour what is apparently a full, functioning shark tank installed inside his residence. Not a metaphor. An actual tank. With actual sharks. In a living room. A journey.
N3on being N3on, this became content. The visit apparently surfaced online and gathered the kind of attention that follows N3on everywhere he goes, which, if you've been keeping score, includes a celebrity dinner ejection in Monaco, a wardrobe malfunction live on his stream, and a fistfight between two guests he allegedly did not stop in time. The shark tank, comparatively, is a fairly calm Tuesday for this man.
Derulo, however, is now dealing with blowback that has nothing to do with N3on directly. Per TMZ on June 19th, the singer has had to publicly sound off on criticism over the tank itself, with people allegedly taking issue with the setup on animal welfare grounds. Derulo has reportedly responded to the backlash, though specific details of his defense were not fully laid out in the initial reports. We are watching this space.
Here is the thing about inviting N3on to your home and expecting a quiet, uneventful visit: you cannot do that. The man is a chaos magnet in the most literal, documented sense. And if this feels familiar, it is because N3on appeared alongside Howie Mandel and Ne-Yo at a gaming league event back in April, which is to say that his orbit of unexpected celebrity proximity is consistent and accelerating. He is not crashing into these worlds. He is being invited.
Was Derulo prepared for the internet to spend the day arguing about his fish situation because a Kick streamer walked through it on camera? Allegedly not. Now he is prepared.
The audacity of the timeline here is genuinely something. N3on is currently allegedly staring down a FIFA lawsuit over a World Cup broadcast, is co-owner of a crypto casino called MOTHERLAND, and is also, as of this week, the reason Jason Derulo's interior design choices are a trending discourse topic. The follower count appreciates the chaos even if Derulo's publicist does not.
We wish Jason Derulo strength in this trying time of his own making, and we wish N3on's next host the foresight to at least check whether their home contains live apex predators before extending an invitation.
Keep receipts, my loves. Derulo has not finished explaining himself, and N3on has not finished finding new rooms to walk into.
