Gaston County’s Billy Gotti Is Taking Social Media By Storm
His name is Billy Gotti. He lives in Stanley, NC. He has over 80,000 likes on Facebook and more than 50,000 followers on Instagram. He even has his own YouTube channel. And he’s a goat.
Why is this little Gaston County goat with the clever name blowing up on social media? He doesn’t do goat yoga but he does have style and that makes people smile. They also seem to like Billy’s handler and fashion consultant, Jo’lee Shine. Social media users simply enjoy following the continuing adventures of Billy and Jo’lee. They seem to go everywhere together.
Billy Gotti isn’t just in it for the Facebook likes and Twitter follows. While there’s definitely some cheekiness behind the Billy Gotti brand, the little goat is also part therapy animal and goodwill ambassador. There’s a Facebook video of Billy cuddling up to an elderly woman at a retirement home, and Jo’lee says he’s always a hit with kids at the park. Oh, and the ladies just love him.
