In an exclusive interview with Young Money's youngest, Lil Chuckee, Unleash profiles the New Orleans native and talks canines, career and controversy.
So Chuckee, tell us about your dogs.
Well this one is boss, he's the boy Olde English Bulldogge and the girl is Trina. So Boss and Trina, yeah....yeah.
What made you choose that particlular breed?
Well, I like this breed. You know Im always the type of person that wants to be different. I didn't want a pitbull, English bulldog or Rottweiler. I wanted something that people don't really have. You dont really see people out with Olde English Bulldogges. Most celebrities want the English bulldogs. Plus, my father you know, liked the dogs too...so i had to get em'.
Any reason why you chose those names?
[Laughs.] I don't know. Me and my dad came up with those names. Well, (pointing to the dogs) he looks like a big, big dog that would be named Boss. And her, you know, Rick Ross (the Boss) and Trina. You know Miami, it makes sense.
How old were they when you got them?
They were puppies....they both were puppies. He's 2 now and she's 1.
I see Boss has on a New Orleans Saints bandana.
Oh yeah, believe that....we support the Saints all day!
So your from New Orleans?
Born and raised. New orleans is where Im from, it's where I got my swag from, my demeanor from. Im New Orleans all day.
Tell us about your affiliation with Lil Wayne.
I met Weezy back in 05 before Katrina. I spit a few bars for em.' and he said I wanna work with you. You know Katrina came we lost contact but his manger saw me out here in Atlanta. I steady was pumping, I kept my face out there, my music out there and we reconnected from there.
You know a lot of athletes, entertainers and rappers prefer the more masculine breeds. Why do you think these dogs have gotten such a bad reputation?
Yeah, I would never form my dogs in that direction. I look at them as freinds that you can talk to and chill with. They're good dogs that you can train and teach others how to train their dogs.
Cool. Do you have any plans in the future for them?
Yeah, acting on T.V. and in movies, Doing all types of fun things and activities.
Any plans on getting anymore dogs?
[Laughs] Nooo.... I love these two here. If anything, I'll probably let them have some puppies. But they are enough!
