Ferrari fallout: 50 Cent blacklisted over social media spat

50 Cent hits a sour note with Ferrari, lands on the blacklist over a cheeky post about his 488.

In a surprising turn of events, Curtis «50 Cent» Jackson finds himself at odds with luxury car manufacturer Ferrari, following a contentious social media post. Known for his assertive personality, the rap mogul’s online antics have led to his inclusion on Ferrari’s exclusive blacklist, effectively barring him from purchasing the brand’s elite supercars and hypercars.

Jackson, celebrated for flaunting his opulent lifestyle in music videos, including scenes of him cruising Monaco’s streets in a rare Maserati MC12, recently faced technical issues with his Ferrari 488. Frustrated by a dead battery that rendered the vehicle inoperable, Jackson opted to publicly express his dissatisfaction on Facebook, humorously contemplating a switch to a Smart car. This public jab did not sit well with Ferrari, prompting the immediate ban.

The «Expend4bles» star’s exclusion from Ferrari’s clientele is not an isolated incident; other celebrities like Deadmau5, Justin Bieber, Tyga, and Chris Harris have also faced similar reprimands for various indiscretions ranging from controversial customizations to critical remarks about the company.

Ferrari’s stance on maintaining its brand image and exclusivity is clear, as it continues to enforce its blacklist policy against high-profile figures who publicly disparage the brand or its products.
