What kind of things would a music superstar like Darius Rucker fill his home with? The South Carolina native and lifelong Gamecock gave his fans a behind-the-scenes look at his Nashville, Tennessee home on Instagram.
A mural of his mother, a golf simulator and the robe of a legendary SC wrestler are just some of the items Rucker has used to decorate his modern farmhouse property, according to a Sept. 19 Instagram post.
“Things in my house that just… make sense,” Rucker posted on his page. In the video, accompanied by a lively Italian melody, Rucker grinned as he showed off his wares.
The adult playground seems to fit well with Rucker’s rocking, sports-loving lifestyle. He shows fans his backyard putting green, wine cellar, in-house recording studio, a slew of industry awards and two dogs.
The highlights, however, touch on Rucker’s lifelong love and reverence for South Carolina and Charleston, where he was born in 1966.
One such detail is a watercolor-inspired mural of his mother, stretched across a clean white wall and bathed in sunlight, with a row of houses looming from the woman’s profile. Carolyn Rucker raised Rucker and his siblings in Charleston, but died before he burst onto the music scene with Hootie & The Blowfish in the 1990s.
Another fun item Rucker shared was a white sequined robe from Ric “Nature Boy” Flair, a legendary wrestler with close ties to the Palmetto State. Flair and Rucker have had a long relationship, according to Nature Boy’s Instagram. The rocker-turned-country singer shelled out $35,000 to purchase the memorabilia at a charity event, according to a previous report from The Post and Courier.
On Instagram, Rucker often gives fans a glimpse into his life, from backstage photos of him with the rest of Hootie & The Blowfish as they travel the country on their “Summer Camp with Trucks” tour to his predictions for the NFL season.
And Rucker is also used to touring his home. Just four months after moving in in 2020, he let Architectural Digest into his home. His tour offered insights into how he spends time at home with his children and showed hallways decorated for Christmas.
