Yeah, that happens quite often with these Ballers in music videos. Bow Wow borrowed a Maybach for a music video shoot from Fletcher Jones says the sale manager. So this Black being borrowed as well isn't too far fetched.

Nice link! I loved the quick write-up

The SL65 AMG Black Series is completely mental. Completely bat **** crazy. So is the Washington Capitals’ star: Alexander Ovechkin. And yet, he’s the biggest beauty in the National Hockey League. By “beauty”, I’m certainly not referring to physical appearance because Ovechkin is just plain ugly. But that’s what makes him even more alluring - despite his looks, he’s the best player in the NHL, he loves scoring goals more than a mother loves her son, and he lives life. Case in point, number 8’s purchase of a 2009 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG Black Series. One of 350 in the world. I guess his S65 wasn’t cutting it anymore. The SL65 Black is also a “beauty”, with 661 hp and 738 torques from a twin-turbo 6.0L V12. It also looks especially sinister in the black colour that Ovie chose. Video after the jump.

Im sure he can easily afford that, you guys may not know who he is, but here in DC, MD, VA he is a huge star, he's sold out huge concerts all over europe before he was even signed with a record label(he is even bigger in london) he hangs with the likes of Jay-Z, well over 300 million, so i doubt he just borrowed the car

300 million? I hope you are not referring to his "net worth" because I doubt he is even a 10th of that, maybe 100th lol

rap is a joke anyway

actually, i won't be surprised if he bought the sl65. i have seen a similar one in Georgia Ave/Petworth areas on D.C.. not sure about his 'net worth @300 mill' but he's definately well known in the dmv area, in particular, w/ the hip hop crowd..

I'm from the HEART of Europe and I've never heard of that guy. Plus: I HATE Lady GAGA (and her songs).

And yea... it's usual practice that they borrow cars for those videos. I know it..., because I was requested twice to borrow out a car for a video.

So i'm guessing your proclaiming that if you don;t know him that others won't know him, your just one european and I guess these are all Americans from DC in this pic in Belfast


On another note I'm not saying its not possible that he rented the car, what im opposing some ignorance of ppl jumping to conclusion he's ganster or he's just posing and borrowed the car

Enough with trying to justify that he owns the car, it is common practice for these "rappers" to rent cars for their videos. It's only a car after all, even if it costs 300k, you ain't much of a celebrity if you can't afford a 300k car or lease it for that matter.

And this video is real lame, this guy has no talent, just like most rap.

Maybe you didn't comprehend what i was saying in my previous thread, its ok some people just can't right, well i guess you can keep on listening to brittany spears then

only reason this thread got to this point is bc of the assumptions by some ignorant people based on the way this guy looks or bc he raps or bc you never seen him before...these forums are about cars, lets talk about cars n drop it....the 65 BS is a beautiful car and it was a nice color
