Nelly's Pimp Juice Target Of Nationwide Boycott
A coalition of African-American organizations are launching a national boycott of rapper Nelly's Pimp Juice energy drink and any store that sells it.
Project Islamic Hope, The National Alliance For Positive Action, The National Black Anti-Defamation League held a press conference at The Liquor Bank in South Central Los Angeles on September 9th.
"We have contacted the Korean Grocers Association, as well as other stores in Urban areas that may want to carry this drink," Najee Ali, Executive Director of Project Islamic Hope, told AllHipHop.com. "We know that stores in Beverly Hills won't carry a drink called Pimp Juice and there is no way we are going to allow this into our communities."
Ali and the others involved in organizing the boycott said that Pimp Juice would ultimately contribute to negative and demeaning stereotypes of African-Americans.
"Any store that carries this product will be targeted for boycotts," Ali continued. "Nelly is selling out because he only cares about making money, just like pimps and drug pushers. We intend to chase Nelly's Pimp Juice out the Black community."
