According to reports, Ferrari has a “blacklist” of a few celebrities, some of whom are very well-known. This Italian automaker produces some of the best automobiles in the world. Some people aren’t allowed to own one, even if they have the money to buy one of the exclusive cars, while most of us can only dream of owning one.
These celebrities have supposedly been denied access to purchase the vehicles for various reasons, one of which is that they have altered their Ferraris without the manufacturer’s consent.
Justin Bieber
The singer upset Ferrari by altering the 458 Italia F1 Edition without the company’s consent, even though she was the fortunate owner of one at one point.
One of the alleged fifteen primary guidelines that Ferrari owners need to abide by is not making unauthorised changes. Bieber reportedly brought his car to West Coast Customs and had the original white paint job done on it in electric blue.
He also replaced the wheels and the prancing horse insignia on the steering wheel, according to Carbuyer.
50 Cent
Additionally rumoured to be on Ferrari’s blacklist is rapper 50 Cent from “Candy Shop.” The year 2020 saw 50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, publicly criticise his car after the battery died and he had to tow it.
He posted on Facebook, sharing pictures of his fancy red car being towed away, saying, “I think I’m going to get a smart car, I don’t want this 488 Ferrari anymore.”
One regulation that car owners should abide by, according to Experience Ferrari, is promoting the Ferrari brand—a rule that 50 Cent most definitely breached.
Kim Kardashian
The reality TV queen turned business mogul is believed to be on Ferrari’s notorious blacklist, even though she has recently been spotted speeding through Calabasas in a Tesla Cybertruck.
The Kardashians reportedly gained notoriety for not maintaining their Ferrari in the manner that the automaker requires of its clients.
According to HotCars, there have been rumours circulating that Kardashian ended up on the blacklist after accepting a Ferrari as a wedding present in 2011 from a Malaysian businessman who also happened to be a financial fraudster.
Floyd Mayweather Jr.
It is customary when purchasing a Ferrari to hold onto the car for a year after purchase.
Experience According to Ferrari, “For certain models, Ferrari imposes restrictions on resale, often prohibiting owners from selling the car within a certain timeframe after purchase.”
However, it’s said that Mayweather only owned his expensive vehicle for a few months before selling it, which put him on the blacklist of the manufacturer.
