Are Justin Bieber and Kim Kardashian on the notorious Ferrari blacklist? Rumours say they have been banned by the Italian carmaker for this reason

Rumours suggest that Justin Bieber and Kim Kardashian are on Ferrari's blacklist.

The infamous Ferrari blacklist, which has been long rumoured but never formally verified, is said to include a number of celebrities. Kim Kardashian and Justin Bieber, two well-known figures who one would think would help any brand, are reportedly among those banned by the Italian automaker, as quoted in a report by Backfire News.

In the meantime, Lamborghini politely requests that owners refrain from adding outrageous wraps to their vehicles. When Justin Bieber was permitted to buy a 2011 Ferrari 458 Italia, he was once in good standing with Ferrari.

It wasn't shocking that the music star had West Coast Customs apply an electric blue wrap to the exotic Italian since he was known for doing rather interesting things to his cars.


However, that wasn't all. Besides replacing the factory wheels, Bieber had a blue Ferrari emblem installed in the steering wheel hub rather than the carmaker's customary yellow and black one.

The unauthorised modifications were not approved by Ferrari, which is a major no-no for a Ferrari owner. Allegedly, that was strike one. Bieber's sale of his car at Barrett-Jackson's auction before he had owned it for a year was the second, and ostensibly final, strike.

Although some celebrities and others believe they can do as they please, the automaker reportedly lays out these and other rules at the time of purchase.

Kim Kardashian, on the other hand, also obtained a Ferrari 458 Italia, though it was allegedly a wedding gift from a well-known Malaysian businessman. Kim has a history of allegedly mistreating and neglecting her cars, as quoted in a report by Backfire News.

Ferrari apparently decided she wouldn't get another chance at a ride from Maranello because she didn't like the way her 458 Italia was displayed in public.
