Jessica Simpson claims drinking snake sperm is secret ingredient for her vocals
Many musicians resort to rather unconventional methods to soothe their voices before a performance, and pop star Jessica Simpson credits snake sperm with being the secret ingredient to her success.
You might be wondering why anyone would willingly drink a reptile’s sperm, but Simpson wasn’t even aware that she was consuming it until a quick Google search revealed the disgusting truth.
The Texas-born singer – who just released the EP Nashville Canyon, Part 1, her first project since 2010’s Happy Christmas – recently shared an Instagram reel about her unique vocal treatment.
She revealed, “They’re like, ‘What are you drinking?’ It’s this Chinese herb thing. I’m like ‘I don’t know. My vocal coach told me to drink it.’”
The singer added, “And they Googled it and it’s snake sperm. It’s like a honey.” Simpson didn’t seem to be repulsed by the idea of drinking the secretion, joking, “If you want a good vocal, you gotta drink snake sperm!”
Simpson appeared in Texas in March for Luck Reunion 2025, marking her first on-stage appearance since 2010. In the 15 years since Simpson put music on the back burner, she has instead appeared on television screens in various projects.
She starred in the reality show The Price of Beauty before taking on a role as a judge in the reality series Fashion Star. Simpson has also made one-off appearances in shows like Entourage, Funny or Die Presents, and Ashlee + Evan.
The musician has additionally focused on various other business ventures, like releasing a perfume and writing a memoir, as well as giving birth to several children.
However, it seems as though she has now returned to music, surprising fans with her first single in years, ‘Use My Heart Against Me’, in February.
