Hip-Hop Kingdom <3's Animal Kingdom - This past weekend we all saw Tyga hanging out with his gorgeous animal kingdom namesake. The rapper has a history with felines — and we’re not talking about his exes (we kid). Anyway, two summers ago wildlife authorities confiscated his pet tiger because it was illegally obtained. He was recently in Dubai and cuddled up next to a striped friend that we’re sure reminded him of his former pet.   Rappers are people too; they love animals. Sometimes they’re pets, other times they’re accessories. Either way there’s no image like the image of a rapper and an animal. It’s a love story for the ages. —Jon Reyes (Photo: Tyga via Instagram)

Super Villain - Less adorable and leaning more on the villainous side. Cee-Lo Green cradling this cat is very Dr. Claw from Inspector Gadget. (Photo: Colleen Hayes/NBC/NBCU Photo Bank)
