You don't own a Ferrari, Ferrari owns you.

Even if you have deep pockets, one still may not get past Ferrari's acceptance to purchase one of their new supercars. Owning one of these cars is more of a lifestyle than anything else, and they call the shots on who they think should represent their brand. Even celebrities are not exempt from the relatively secret and firm rules of Ferrari ownership. When it comes to sponcons, native marketing where brands use celebrities or anyone with a large following on social media to represent a product that is likely to be copied by followers, Ferrari is not one to participate when it comes to these influencers showing off the Prancing Horse logo.

When accepting new clients, the Italian automaker picks carefully. There's a saying that goes "You don't own a Ferrari, Ferrari owns you." To them, anyone driving a Ferrari reflects the brand overall. Anyone who comes off as flashy, tacky, or gaudy, will likely be denied. Also, self-promoting, especially using cars, is also frowned upon. Classy, not trashy, if you will.

In fact, certain celebrities have been banned for one or all of the above, or they have been denied right off the bat because of something else. Here are a few celebrities that have been banned by the Ferrari brand.

Before you go on, please note that these are based off of partial rumors, urban legends, and facts. Ferrari is very secretive when it comes to the buying process between them, a possible buyer, dealerships, and key players working with the company to decide whether any person is deserving of one of their cars.

Deadmau5

When it comes to their cars, Ferrari does not take well to big and loud modifications. Deadmau5 has one of the most mediated cases of upsetting Ferrari in 2013 when he installed a custom wrap of Nyan cat on his Ferrari 458 Spider as well as the addition of custom badges and floor mats. in 2013. Even more, he renamed the car "Purrari" and showed it off at multiple auto events.

The musician received a cease and desist letter from the automaker, and the car was then sold as it was. Deadmau5 said that the wrap was removed before he sold the car, but when the car showed up for sale again sporting the same wrap, that turned out to be untrue.

Tyga

Tyga may be a rapper, but most people probably know of him due to his relationship with Kylie Jenner. The rapper would flaunt his expensive taste for supercars, but then became known for not paying the leases for them which led to several cars being repossessed. Among the repoed cars was a 2012 Ferrari 458 Spider along with a Rolls-Royce Ghost, with both companies suing him for nonpayment. It's safe to say that Tyga is not on Ferrari's good side.
