Back in the mid-2000s, “Pimp My Ride” first premiered on MTV, the show had a straightforward purpose: Get a beat-up car and have the rapper Xzibit choreograph a major upgrade. We’re talking custom paints, over the top rims, decked out sound systems, oh and a chandelier, cause why not?
However, reality TV is not always as it seems – ever since the show’s demise in 2007, several former participants have shared troubling stories about their experiences behind the scenes.

To begin with, Xzibit was the host of that show, and his job was to examine the contestant’s ride, rolling off all the problems that need fixing. Then he would take the car back to West Coast Customs to modify the vehicle.
Once all the work was done, each episode came to a close with the big reveal, and we’d watch as the contestants went berzerk!
