Not Everyone Was Happy With Their Pimp My Ride Cars
Rapper Xzibit hosted the MTV series Pimp My Ride from 2004 to 2007. A car in bad condition was restored and transformed into something entirely different. The show was met with controversy because the vehicles didn’t always run well after getting customized. And participants complained about it. The response? “As much as it was a showy, fun show, the intention was never to make it seem like we were fixing these cars and turning them into $1 million cars on the inside,” casting director Nick Chiodini told BuzzFeed. “It was about fulfilling a dream for a kid in college.”
