Nelly Secures "Pimp Juice" Africa Deal  5/10/07

Rapper Nelly is taking his controversial sports drink to Africa after signing a deal to distribute Pimp Juice through a company in South Africa.

The Hot In Herre star faced a backlash in America when he first launched the dubiously-named drink in 2003, but the product has been snapped up by Mojalife.

Sales of Pimp Juice will begin later this month (18May07) and the deal is expected to pave the way for the release of the rapper's other business ventures, including his Vokal and Applebottom clothing labels, in Africa.
