“Eminem Got Cardi B Pregnant on Millie Bobby Brown’s Farm” sounds like shameless clickbait. Oddly enough, it would also be factually correct.
A wild goat
However, this is exactly the story the Eleven actress told during her latest appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
For context, Millie is really passionate about animals. She lives on a farm with her husband, Jake Bongiovi, and a growing livestock. She has 10 dogs, a pony, a horse, chickens, runs an animal rescue, and also has goats. At least seven, as we are about to find out.
According to the actress, a month or two ago, her goat herd grew unexpectedly. “I really couldn’t believe it”, Millie laughs. “I was like, ‘This is not one of my pre-existing goats’. And so I’m like, ‘Who just gave birth?’”
The Stranger Things actress quickly set out to find the source of her confusion. But this is where the confusion starts for the audience.
“I’m like, ‘Cardi B, you gave birth!’ It’s one of my goats gave birth. And then I thought, ‘Oh gosh, who’s the perpetrator?’ So, Eminem just keeps getting everyone pregnant! He has three baby mamas”.
It’s been a ride for the host and the audience who had to wrap their heads around this unconventional naming in just 15 seconds. It is unclear whether Millie anticipated such a turn of events when she was choosing the names for her goats. Still, apparently, Eminem’s sexual prowess made him a dominant breeder on the farm. It’s in the past now, as Millie decided to put a stop to his escapades. “He had to go to the vet and get the snip because we had too many babies on the farm”, firmly stated Millie.
He’s an animal!
People often name their pets after artists, athletes, or fictional characters they love. So, there is no surprise that the name of one of the most successful, era-defining artists comes up often. We have already written about NSYNC’s Chris Kirkpatrick naming his American shepherd Marshall Mathers, a Scottish safari park welcoming meerkats named Busta, Missy, and Eminem, and Budweiser naming a newborn Clydesdale after Eminem.
However, these are only a few stories that made it to the news. In reality, there are many more Shady’s namesakes. For instance, in 2023, the 11th annual Top Pet Names Report revealed that in Detroit, the popularity of pet names related to Marshall shot up, with Eminem increasing by 131%, Shady 43%, and Slim 34%. Admittedly, none of those names made it to the regional Top 5. And maybe it’s for the best.
