The St. Louis MC Sexyy Red, with the attitude and chart-topping bars, received the surprise of a lifetime when she met face-to-fang with a white tiger during a recent trip to Dubai, and we'll say, it got real wild, real quick.
The incident occurred when she was at a zoo visiting the hermit Emirate for a nightclub gig and some R&B. What began as an incredible moment with some exotic animals almost became a headline for all the wrong reasons.
Sexyy Red squats near a giant white tiger in a video she shared on her social media as though she can't wait to pet the beast. With two handlers hanging tight, everything seemed quiet until it wasn't.
As she extended her hand toward the tiger, it recoiled its head with lightning speed, bared its teeth, and growled with a bone-rattling sound that made the growl from the soundboard at Jurassic Park sound like a purring kitten. For a moment, it seemed like a disaster in the making.
But this was when Sexyy Red proved she had ice in her veins. Instead of screeching or making for the hills, she laughed, took several steps back, and quipped, "Yal, she wasn't messing with me," as if it were a Tuesday.
Fans flooded the internet with praise for the star's unfazed response, and the clip quickly went viral. Some called her brave, while others called her crazy. Either way, all would be hard-pressed to argue that she didn't keep it cool under pressure like, you know, literal tiger pressure.
But the tiger tale was only one chapter in a more wide-ranging, jet-setting story. Sexyy Red made sure to chronicle her entire trip to Dubai for her fans as she took us along for the ride to the Middle East, where she had never been! From riding around in fancy luxury cars to soaking in the skyscraper skyline, she made it clear: This was no ordinary vacation; it was a flex.
In another candid moment, she expressed surprise at how many Black people she saw in the city. "It's a lot of Black people out here," she said, eyes wide. "And all these cars, like damn." It was a truthful and human moment that spoke to many of her followers.
Having just recently touched down from a stint in London, the Dubai move marks a new chapter for Sexyy Red in music and life. She's on foreign soil, so to speak, making moves and turning every stride into a lasting, memorable one, even if it means almost getting eaten by a tiger.
And in the end, that is what Sexyy Red walked out of the zoo with all her limbs, a viral video, and one hell of a story. As for the tiger? Let's say the real wild card in the room was quite underestimated.
