The Untold Truth Of Giveon

Publish date: 2024-05-03

Before he became a famous R&B star, Giveon was a small crustacean in a big sea of talent — literally. He once worked for the seafood chain Bubba Gump Shrimp Company and as a member of the staff, he wore the company's shrimp costume. In an interview for Billboard, Giveon recalled one of the weirdest days when he put on the suit. Reportedly, a child wanted to pose with him for a photo, but Giveon said out loud, "Nah, man ... I'm not doing this. It's time for me to go." As the dressed up mascot, "You're not even supposed to talk in the suit, 'cause shrimps don't talk," the singer revealed. But he broke the rule on that day because "I was so fed up" with the role. "I left with no plan, no money or anything," Giveon said after he quit his job at the restaurant.

Following the shrimpcident, Giveon revealed, "I was doing unemployment for a little bit and then I started a dog-walking business in my neighborhood." The young man went around posting self-printed flyers for his one-man business. Even though he only walked dogs for a few months, at least one of his clients recognized that Giveon went on to be a popular musician. He recounted seeing a post on Twitter that said, "Giveon used to walk my dog, but he told me he quit 'cause he started really talking music seriously."
