The mythical Big Boi, one of the most prominent figures of the Outkast, who is now back in the limelight, has disclosed his upgraded and new man cave, which is nothing less than a sports memorabilia shrine where his Uncle Moonie has handpicked the displays. The Instagram post features a massive wall filled with framed jerseys that not only face the viewers with admiration but also with very specific critiques from the fans about the choice of the athletes to be displayed.

It was Big Boi who, one of the half of the classic hip-hop legends Outkast, let the fans, and the general public see the new and up-to-date man’s cave, acting like his Uncle Moonie, who played a key role in creating and gathering the entire collection and exhibition. The caption ‘Uncle moonie put the man cave together…. Long live Uncle Moonie,’ was accompanied by a video capturing the stunning collection being made in a very intimate and interactive manner. What is the collection made of? Surely, there are signatures on the jerseys of such amazing players as Deion Sanders, Brett Favre, and Herschel Walker, and they are all beautifully framed up and ready for the visitors. The setup is clean, museum-quality and it`s clear that a lot of patience and skill were required for its assembly. Big Boi was considerate enough to acknowledge the author of the concept.

Not surprisingly, the public reacted right away, passionately and with love for the idea. A user summed it up in just one line: ‘Big is one of my biggest inspirations! Boi just makes dope smart moves on the low then quietly shares the fruits of it all..’ The entire concept of being admired, and nonchalantly winning was reflected in the comments. Another user said, ‘This is incredible! Uncle Moonie is a talented man! He must have been a great support for your Family!!! & He still is….’ There was a sort of mini-party about family and artistry going on.

But let’s be honest, showing a sports collection on the internet means you are calling for the jury. And the jury did have tons of comments to deliver. To be brief, the jersey of the most criticized athlete was, in fact, the one with Brett Favre’s name on it. He deserves to be replaced one comment read starkly: ‘You gotta replace that Farve jersey! He stealing money from black folks!’ Another one commented ‘Everything is 🔥🔥🔥but that Farve jersey belongs in the 🗑️🤷🏾‍♂️🤣.’ This sentiment was supported by several other comments that made it very clear how even the fan’s choice of display could be affected by off-field controversies.

The jersey scandal was still hot when fans interchanged places and became the ones to decide who should be on the wall. One proposal was a call for a Josh Allen jersey that wall. Another person said, ‘Bron being the only basketball jersey says a lot fasho,’ giving a halo to LeBron James’s solo depiction. The most wanted was Michael Vick. People would comment ‘Com’on!!! Where Vick at??? 🤔’ and ‘Gotta get a Vick one in that empty spot!’ dropping hints that the Atlanta bond has become very strong between Big Boi and his fans.

The sports debate was on but the post’s main focus was still the love for Uncle Moonie. One fan wrote ‘LLUM..! I be looking around yo building thinking the same thang… Preciate ya Unc!’ and the fan also added the abbreviation for ‘Long Live Uncle Moonie’. Another fan simply said ‘One time for Unk Moonie!🙏🏾’. It was obvious that this was not just a simple room display but a way of honoring the skills and efforts of a family member.

Big Boi has always been viewed as someone who has effortlessly, coolly, and stylishly headed whichever direction he likes, either music or business. The revealing of his man cave is just another piece of the puzzle. It is a secluded area that reflects his likes, the sports history of his town, and the importance of family. And although the internet will always have an opinion regarding the choice of jerseys, the general reaction was a salute to a perfectly done vibe. Definitely, long live Uncle Moonie. The man has created a classic piece. This connection to his city was also seen when Big Boi hosts Outkast night with the Atlanta Hawks. His creative process often has unique origins, like how a lost Motown CD led to Outkast’s Christmas classic.
