Justin Bieber is once again embroiled in controversy. In a recent update, the singer made headlines after being banned by Italian supercar maker Ferrari. The Maranello house did so because of the singer’s dealings with cars and not respecting the ethical code for the maintenance and use of cars, reports Milan-based newspaper article Il Giornale.
It should be noted that Ferrari is very firm with customers who do not care for their models. And American pop star Justin Bieber has “mistreated” his F458 so much that it ends up on Ferrari’s blacklist. Plus, this isn’t the first time Maranello House has banned a celebrity. Before Bieber, the supercar maker banned celebrities like Kim Kardashian, Nicolas Cage and rapper 50 Cent.
Justin Bieber is one of the celebrities known for his love of cars. This love manifests in the form of his car collection, which includes models such as Lamborghini Aventador, Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport, Porsche 911 Turbo as well as Ferrari’s F430 and 458. It should be noted that this Ferrari 458, which he owned, is why the singer ended up on the blacklist of an Italian manufacturer.

Justin Bieber has given Ferrari more than one reason for a ban by breaking several codes of conduct by dismantling his automobile, changing its color, and then auctioning it off. Justin Bieber’s issues began months after he bought his F458 when he left it in the parking lot outside a Beverly Hills nightclub. After two weeks, a member of his staff was able to locate the supercar. The Canadian singer was dissatisfied, so he decided to change the color of his Ferrari from white to electric blue.
In addition, he also changed the color of the horse symbol on the steering wheel. He further aggravated the situation by replacing the bolts on the alloy wheels and rims. It all got worse when the singer auctioned off his car in 2017. All of this together ended up on Ferrari’s blacklist, due to which he would not be able to buy a new car from the manufacturer.
