*In addition to flooding South Africa with his Pimp Juice under a deal with local distributor Mojalife, rapper Nelly is currently in talks to host a local version of MTV’s hit series “Pimp My Ride.”
Mojalife, which licenses Pimp Juice in South Africa, recently signed a deal with the UK-based Screen Ventures and MTV Networks to shoot 52 episodes of “Pimp My Ride” in South Africa. Plans are already underway to feature Nelly and a South African TV personality as co-hosts.
Nelly is also being considered to co-host an “American Idol”-style hip-hop reality show in South Africa, where the winner could possibly receive a two-year recording contract with his record label, Derrty Entertainment.
Additionally, the St. Louis artist is preparing to introduce a new flavor of Pimp Juice this summer - a prickly pear/grape flavor that will come in a purple rendition of the original Pimp Juice can design, according to a statement from Fillmore Street Brewery, the makers of Nelly’s beverage.
Fillmore describes the new flavor as a premium anti-oxidant/energy drink with a proprietary blend of Acai, Ascorbic Acid, Grape Extract, Green Tea Extract, Pear Extract, Pomegranate Juice, and Yerba Mate in addition to its energy components of Caffeine, Taurine, and Guarana.
The company expects for the new flavor to hit store shelves sometime in July.
