Orlando Magic v Boston Celtics
Jeff Teague talked about MTV Cribs

MTV Cribs was one of the most popular shows at one point and even the houses of some NBA players were featured on the show. However, former All-Star Jeff Teague revealed that some of the houses of other celebrities didn't belong to them. Teague revealed this information on the latest episode of "Club 520 Podcast."

MTV Cribs was a massive hit to the viewers. Getting a chance to see the interiors of the houses of celebrities was a smart concept. However, it was later revealed that a few celebrities didn't own some of the houses shown on the show.

Teague and his crew talked about how some of the rappers featured on the show weren't the real residents of the houses. He pointed out that longtime rapper Ja Rule and said that he wasn't convinced that the New York City-based rapper owned the house that was shown in one episode.

"They had me fu**ed up cause Ja Rule had me thinking that was his house. That ain’t that ni**a’s g***amn house," Teague said.

Teague started talking about it at the 0:40 mark.
