Singer Jason Derulo has come under criticism online after a video showed a shark and a manta ray being kept in a floor aquarium inside his home in Tarzana, California.

The video, which surfaced during a tour of the house with streamer N3on, sparked debate on social media, with many people questioning whether the animals had enough space and a suitable environment.

Several users on Reddit described the setup as cruel, arguing that the aquarium appeared too small for the marine animals. Some also claimed the tank lacked features that could mimic a natural habitat.

One critic said there was “absolutely no reason” for the display and accused celebrities of treating animals as showpieces, while another argued that keeping sharks and rays in such a setting should be illegal.

Others pointed to the bright lights, noise and lack of hiding spaces, saying the animals could be under unnecessary stress.

Some commenters suggested Derulo could have achieved the same visual effect with robotic or digital displays instead of live animals.

The singer has not publicly responded to the criticism. Daily Mail reported that it contacted his representatives for comment.
