Fans of the late rap legend, The Notorious B.I.G., recently uncovered a surprising cameo in the music video for his classic hit “Juicy”—a younger Eric Adams, now the mayor of New York City.
A viral moment began to spread on social media after sharp-eyed viewers noticed a poster featuring Adams during a scene in the video. The moment appears at about the 1:38 mark, as a man does pull-ups next to a traffic light pole where the Adams poster is visible.
The discovery has caused quite the stir online, with one user commenting, “It’s crazy that anyone even spotted that, lmao!” Another fan chimed in, saying, “Mad respect to the eagle-eyed fan who caught this… showing my dad right now [crying face emoji].”
Back when Biggie’s “Juicy” was released, Eric Adams was making his first foray into politics, running for Congress in New York’s 11th district. His campaign was cut short, however, as he failed to make the ballot, blaming the loss on his opponent, Major Owens, for allegedly stealing his petition signatures—though no evidence ever surfaced.
This hidden gem from Biggie’s iconic video adds another layer of intrigue to both the hip-hop and political worlds, sparking a new wave of interest in the classic track.
Keep your eyes peeled during your next watch—who knows what else might be hiding in plain sight!
