The 50 Most Ignorant Fur Coat Moments

The 50 Most Ignorant Fur Coat Moments

Terry Richardson's Lucky Rabbit Fur

This guy can get the hottest chicks in the most provocative poses, easy. This magical mantle is obviously how he gets all those ridiculous women all naked and baby oiled. Oh, and those glasses. We suggest you cop both. Immediately. We'll wait.

Rick Rubin's Bear Costume

One of the most influential, and by now wealthy white guys in the music industry, rocking a full-length mink in the 'hood. Juxtaposition yes but more important WTF is Vincent Gallo doing in this shot? We always forget about that. Great video but what does it meeeeeean?

Frank Lucas's Fur Stovepipe Pause

No one had the balls to diss this drug lord back in the day, but now that he's 80 and doing appearances at Comic Cons we're going to take very cheap pot shots: Sir, that chinchilla stovepipe hat is hilarious. It is the luxury version of the Lucky Charms leprechaun topper and a clear indication that you ran out of shit to spend money on. It's called a charitable donation. Look into it.

Gucci Mane's Very Pretty Pastel Slanket

Is this where the "Burr!" phrase came from? Or maybe this photo was the album cover for his un-released single "My chain nauseous, fur game ostentatious." Or maybe, jeez, who cares, someone pass this man some lotion...

Nick Cannon's Family of Furries

PAAAAAWS! We were going to make a snarky joke about cosplay and bestiality and maybe round it up with some, "We didn't know Mariah got lithe enough to be carried wakka wakka" but we won't. Look at us. We're downright classy.

Joe Namath's Oh F*ck It This Rules

Look, there's no way this IS NOT ignorant. It's just that it goes hurtling into obnoxious and then straight past it until it's just so gangster, we can't even hate on this on-field beast. Dude earned the right to look foolish stunt on the sideline.

Lil Wayne's Shawl Collar And Matching Eyebrows

Wayne, please stay out of jail and please don't do dumb shit like this anymore. Someone should have charged this man with a WTF. It's like the new DUI, you ain't know? Also, layering is more than just wearing a bunch of pants at the same time. Other than that, you're doing great. And your music is incredible so thanks for that.

Perez Hilton's Penchant for Refined Elegance

I mean, you have to be pretty good at making fun of people if you get to do it for a career and look like this. AMIRITE? Perez and his publicity stunts... And his face. Also, his hair. We know Cudi got a good laugh at this. We did too! And then we barfed.

50 Cent and Rick Ross's Baby Mother Sadface

The coat itself isn't that outrageous but the fact that 50 and Ross's baby mama embarrassed the Bawse like that is craaaazy. Let's join hands and be really happy that children and wombs are the pawns in rap vendettas. Yay!

Kid Rock Pulls a Frank Lucas

Hmm... this looks... familiar. I wonder where we saw this exact tragic getup on this countdown. Totally can't figure it out. He must be 100% original and not at all stealing from another community for his own commercial gain. JK! Kid Rock's the best. Our favorite country music star bar none!

Jay-Z's Pom Pom Dome

"Just think winter's here, I'm tryna feel mink n*gga." POLITICS AS USUAL? Come on, Hov, they are unbelievably unusual that day. We were all just trying to watch Obama make history, but there you go distracting us. Also, why were you only tryna feel mink in your eyes? Is that a famous people thing? Tell us!

Chris Brown's Butt Hurt Tail

These hipsterish dumb-suspect tails are huge now, so we can say Breezy either started a trend or cajoled a bunch of guys down the crooked path. Either way this kid can't catch a break. 'Cause wherever he goes, his borderline-retarded decision-making behind is right there with him.

Bill Maher Wears a French Hat

OK, we admit it. This photo is 100% photoshopped, but imagine the hilarity if the proud and very vocal member of PETA's board of directors was wearing a... wait for it... BERET!

Polow da Don's Retro White Lady Trench

Polow da Don's is afterall their KING so it should come as little surprise that dude can take a white girl's prized vintage '70s fur-trimmed trench without her batting a lash or fluffing her feathered hair. Jeezy is THRILLED to stand next to such a fashionable man. Also, we are pretty sure Polow is wearing a Georgia O'Keefe T-shirt and a brocade scarf with tassles.

DJ Quik Looks Like a Granny

Quik must of bumped into the red carpet on accident. A possible Christian Audiger shirt (ouch!) and a coat that looks like something you tuck your kids in with? Double whammy for the pistol-whipping prolific producer.

Busta Rhymes's Despot Cloak

Bussa wasn't satisfied with just the (white?) leopard, so he murdered a couple squirrels to adorn the collar and wrists. Then he ate an entire mastodon. We respect that and all, but if you're really going to pose like the freshest MC out can you please bother to give a little eye contact to your subjects? Thanks.

Tyson Beckford's Poodle and Almost Taco Meat

We're sure it wasn't Tyson's first choice to go flouncing down the runway in this outfit but who cares? So entertaining! Plus, the deep V of his shirt is very cool. Oh look, his penis is making the thumb's up sign. And wearing Hard Candy nail polish. Fun.

Ghostface Killah's Hi/Low Mashup

Yeah, this man is a god amongst men. He is on this list because this coat is just a hair on the side of ignorant to qualify BUT make no mistake: if you are to rock a man fur coat ALWAYS wear it with a Champion hoody. Especially if it's faded. Especially if you're Ghostface. Because then you will rule.

Lenny Kravitz's Merkin Epaulettes

Unexpected? No. Shocking? No. Unnecessary and down right outrageous? HELL YEAH! Way to go, Lenny. This is better than the skank boot wedge heels you made famous. Also, LOL at the rose embroidery on the bottom left.

Timbaland's Razor Cut Hair Don't Coat

Timbo. Your jacket looks like Taylor Momsen's head. The end.

Rick Ross and Diddy's Battling Furbies

Diddy's fur is elegant. Relatively speaking. Rick Ross's fur takes after a hood-rich Clifford The Big Red Dog.

Advertisement

Nas's Snow Beast Onesie

We're convinced. This is what happens when you have Diddy in your video. He's like Midas. His style rubs off on everyone he touches and people turn into ornate blocks of unfeeling expensive-assness. I mean, this is obviously some sort of Jedi Mind Trick right? For cryin' out loud, Diddy is wearing a goddamn wifebeater.

Pimp C Was the Snow Beast First

Yeah, the UGK legend was rocking his signature yeti getup years before Nas, and he stayed flipping PETA the bird until his untimely death in ’07. Sadface.

Advertisement

Fat Joe Is Made of Spun Sugar

He could easily be mistaken for an extra large bag of cotton candy. Except who makes extra large bags that big? RIGHT? Wowowowow.

Advertisement

Arthur Abraham is an Afghan Hound A-Alike

This Armenian middleweight looks beautiful under the honey tresses of this very canine getup. It's the exact sort of ensemble that a man of his pugilistic prowess can get away with. That is, until he got his ass BEAT in this very same tourney. Give up the coat, Abraham.

Advertisement

Terrence Koh is a Murder of Crows

You think 'cause this dude is an artist he can get away with looking like a flock of scary black birds? Well, sorta. Mostly because he looks like he's fully capable of black magic. Those aren't even feathers. It's some animal. WTF animal? Nobody knows! Frightening bastard.

Floyd Mayweather's Mod Trapeze Coat

AHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Are you wearing a kicky little trapeze number? With 3/4 length sleeves to make your wrists look more delicate? Yes? AHAHAHAHHAHAHA we thought so!

Advertisement

Simeon Rice is Not Wearing a Fleece

At first glance, you would think the Bucs put the defensive end in the fur coat, as a prank because, frankly, that's what they'd do. But, no...Rice rocked this cotton tail at his own will. He seems very nonchalant about being the only guy in the cipher with 30 lbs. of animal pelt on his back. There is a WOMAN wearing a sweatshirt with the sleeves rolled up next to you, man. It is not that cold.

Advertisement

Redd Foxx's Presidential Look

It may be the aviators, but Foxx looks real G in this superfluous fur. Also, this is Jimmy Carter's inauguration! Everyone was forced to wear animal back in those days. What with looms not having been invented yet. Ba-dum-bum.

Advertisement

Magic Johnson Skinned a Wookiee

A young Magic in his hey, dude definitely thought he was killing it with this one. Nah, he was only killing about 1.5 poor Wookiees. I mean, they're bipedal and humanoid hailing from the planet Kashyyyk, man. Uncool.

Advertisement

Benicio Del Toro's Nighttime Outfit

Holy shit this was a TERRIBLE movie. Can we have that conversation as a total sidebar? What was even going on? Anyway, Benicio wears fur here and wears it again later. All over his body. It's gross. But somehow Emily Blunt sorta falls in love with him? Also, *SPOILER ALERT* his dad Anthony Hopkins also wears fur.

Randy Quaid's Bathrobe

This picture is very uncomfortable to look at for an extended period of time, which is exactly why it's a part of this compilation. Thanks Quaid, for providing us with tons of awkwardness and unanswered questions. No, seriously why is this joint so long? It's so weird. And, nice satin tie.

Jadakiss's Sweatpants are Butch

No Jada the fitted, sweatpants, and timbs do not magically cancel this over-the-top...thing, you have on. Does that coat come with a cup holder and a remote control holster? You look like a La-Z-Boy recliner, dude. Yes, with a wee Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle head. Turtle turtle.

Advertisement

Coolio's Mogul Up Top Sleepover On Bottom

This is DEFINITELY ignorant rap shit. In the way that it is Coolio. And that he's wearing PJ pants. Aaaaaaaaand that he's willing to forsake even a modicum of cred to check into the Big Brother house. With a Targus computer bag?

Advertisement

Teddy Pendergrass's Riding Hood

Teddy wore what he wanted and still pulled hella chicks with that intimidating voice. We wish we could rock full length furs and gain options. This isn't even just a run-of-the-mill coat either. It's a cape! With a hood! In front of a boat!

Advertisement

Clipse's Animal Holocaust in Stereo

These are definitely not cloths (sic) to be playing in. And while there is a cavalier ridiculousness to these pelts, we sorta can't front. There's something about Pusha and Malice's conviction and the straight-up baller status-ness of pure mink with chinchilla collars that sells this. Ignorant? Yes. Fantastic? Um, yeah, also, yes.

Bernie Madoff Likes Nice Things

This is the guy who was accused of ripping off about $18 BILLION from investors. Look at him. We have no idea why he was slapped with the maximum sentence. He is obviously an innocent man with humble reasonable taste.

Advertisement

Flavor Flav is an Ugly Magnet

There is a lot going on in this picture. And all of it is happening on this wee little pigeon torso. It is like people who hate Flav arbitrarily stuck a bunch of crap on him. On his back it definitely says "Kick Me" except the sign is made from Doritos. Wrapped in GOLD.

R.Kelly Gives Good Narnia

Robert probably never mentioned where he got inspiration for the album cover from, but we know. Dude totally ripped this guys swag. Also, this album had some BANGERS.

Advertisement

Jonathan Babineaux is a Smurf

Babineaux was probably looking out for Falcons teammate, Dunn when he rocked this down a runway. Or maybe this was a bet. Or maybe we should stop trying to validate these guys and their scary and suspect coats.

Advertisement

Usher's Fur Makes Him Look Fat

This doesn't do that whippet thin physique any justice. It's about eleven sizes too big and distracts from the delightful mesh shirt and satin trousers. No, Usher, you stop. You stop throwing on outerwear that betrays how tasteful and well-fitting your outfits are otherwise.

Sherman Adams, Chief of Staff for Eisenhower

History Lesson 101: So, here's the scoop. Guy becomes White House Chief of Staff for President Eisenhower. Guy lives the life. Guy then drops the ball over accepting an expensive vicuña fur overcoat on the undercover tip. Guy resigns. The end. History lesson over. You're all caught up.

T.I. and Diddy are Wild Like the Taliban

We caught Tip mid-growl, so the fur coat makes him really look like the animal he's been made out to be, lately. And, well Diddy looks like...Diddy. I hope they're holding 45s in their other hand. Or else this whole thing is fake. :( Tip, we hope you're warm where you are.

Sylvester Stallone Looks Amazing

You guys! Sylvester Stallone LOOKS AMAZING.

Cam'ron's Pet Cemetery Has BARNEY IN IT

You killed Barney. You bastard.

Liberace's Trail of Dead

We'd like to imagine this was shot while Liberace was addressing PETA. "Hey losers, check my awesome coat. Oh, and f*&% you! Yes, that IS a gajillion dollar ring on my middle finger. And yes, it WAS tax deductible, eat hummus bitches."

Advertisement

Snoop Dogg's Snow Caps

O.K., so his freshly pressed hair and perfectly cut layers rule. The fact that he looks like the after image of Perez Hilton's semen drawings rules slightly less.

Advertisement

Diddy (AGAIN?!)

Yeah, its official. Diddy fucks with fur more than he does Cassie...and that's saying a lot. Not on the record though of course. Obvi.

Advertisement

Kanye West and Amber Rose's Coat Disparity

We love 'Ye's coat. We also love that his ex's coat was made from the scraps from 'Ye's coat. It's like that one movie Twins with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito. Amber's coat is Danny DeVito.

50 Cent Feels So Good Right Now

Wow Fif. You are like the poster child for MDMA. You look like you're having a great time AND that coat is real elegant. Queens reigns supreme is right. You definitely need a scepter. And a tiara.
