Is it the thought that counts? Many celebrities — from drake and Ed Sheeran to Lady Gaga and eminem — got some pretty weird gifts for their A-list friends.
The “Hotline Bling” artist made headlines in November 2022 when he gave away his friend DJ Khaled several high-quality toilets for the 47th anniversary of the manufacturer. The Louisiana native later took to Instagram to share his excitement about the gift.
“Listen, this is not a regular toilet bowl,” Khaled explained in a video at the time. “My brother Drake just bought four large toilet bowls for me and my family. It’s called a Toto toilet bowl.”
He continued: “I’m not even joking Drake, we’ve always wanted this. Me and my queen have been talking about getting totos for the whole house.”
a month before SamSmith shared an NSFW gift the “Shape of You” singer sent them while appearing on The Kelly Clarkson Show. “Oh my goodness. … It’s really wild. I thought it was a joke, but it’s a six-foot marble penis,” the Stay With Me crooner told the host Kelly Clarkson in October 2022. “It’s two tons and I have to have it craned into my house.”
For her part, Sheeran defended the gift and its backstory during an interview on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert that same month. “Elton-John has been involved in my career from the start and he buys me weird gifts,” said the British songwriter. “Just, like, strange gifts, like, sexual kind of objects.”
The “Shivers” singer went on to explain that he bought a phallus-shaped statue for the “I’m Still Standing” actor. “I gave it to him for his birthday and Elton was delighted with it. And then it came out in the press that I did it,” Sheeran revealed. “I would do interviews and people would say, ‘Well, can I have one?'”
The Grammy winner then revealed that Smith asked for one of the artworks while recording in a studio near Sheeran’s home.
While John inspired the “Bad Habits” artist to give some bizarre gifts, the legendary musician was also on the receiving end. In 2019, Eminem gave his longtime boyfriend two diamond-encrusted cock rings after John married his husband David Furnish.
“Eminem bought me and David matching cock rings when we got married,” the “Hold Me Closer” hitmaker told the Guardian at the time. “That was his gift. They sit like the crown jewels in this beautiful casket on satin cushions. They are wonderful to behold.”
