Pimp My Ride | Where Are They Now? | How MTV Ruined Xzibit's Life...

When MTV’s reality series “Pimp My Ride” first hit the airwaves
back in 2004. Over the course of its six seasons, this series would
go onto become one of the most popular properties in MTV history.
The basic premise was this: a young person living in the greater
Los Angeles area would videotape a plea for MTV to “pimp their
ride”, whereupon the show’s loveable host, rapper Xzibit, would
surprise them at their home and take their car to a talented team
of car restorers, only to return the vehicle with some of the most
outrageous personalized modifications you’ve ever seen. But alas,
all good things must inevitably come to an end. By 2007, the
reality car bubble had popped, so MTV pulled the plug. But this
series absolutely refuses to go gently into that good night – Why?
Well, it turns out that according to a number of the former
contestants on the show, it was almost entirely faked. Not only
that but in perhaps the most surprising development of all, Xzibit,
well, he’d go broke.
