The roar of the Prancing Horse became a whisper when Ferrari decided to ban the King of Pop himself, Justin Bieber. The reason? An unusual story that combines eccentricity, carelessness and an electric blue Ferrari 458 Italia.

He is a big fan of fancy cars and decided to jazz up his ride with a bright blue paint job. But it was not his flashy choice that got Ferrari upset.

The trouble began when Bieber, known for his wild drives, couldn’t remember where he left his prized car. Yep, you heard it right: he forgot where he parked it. Seeing his abandoned car got a lot of people talking, especially Ferrari fans.

Taking Bieber’s car away seemed like a quick fix for Ferrari execs. But as they delved into the legalities, reality hit hard: seizing the car could lead to legal trouble. Quite ironic for a brand known for speed to be stuck in legal red tape.

With confiscation out of the question, Ferrari resorted to a more subtle punishment: veto. Bieber could never again sully the prestige of the brand.

The singer, oblivious to the Italian fury, left for the arms of Lamborghini. A new four-wheeled love, a different roar that will perhaps make him forget the bitter taste of Ferrari’s disaffection.
