The Tesla Cybertruck’s unusual shape, its technology-enhanced interior, its impressive straight-line performance and its decent range for an electric pickup truck have made it a celebrity magnet.

Numerous famous people have one of these vehicles in their garage, and another American rapper has added his name to that list. It is none other than 2 Chainz, born Tauheed K. Epps and also known as Tity Boi – Drenchgod, who has fallen in love with the battery-electric workhorse.

The 46-year-old award-winning rapper recently shared a few pictures on Instagram with his 12.8 million followers showing off his latest four-wheeled toy. Surprising no one, 2 Chainz had his Tesla Cybertruck modified, and we think it looked better in its original state. 2 Chainz mentioned Roadshow International and Forgiato in the short caption.

The former company was responsible for the orange wrap with side decals depicting what looks like a wolf (reminiscent of Hellcat), and the latter company designed those weird rims that look like they came straight out of a 1990s car and wrap around the orange brake calipers. No modern custom car would be complete without tinted windows, and this celebrity-owned Tesla Cybertruck ticks that box too.

We’ve seen far worse tuning work on this model, and 2 Chainz’s Tesla Cybertruck may be flashy, but at least it’s not cheesy. Speaking of the latter, we have to mention another Tesla Cybertruck that recently got a visit from the tuning fairy and has a celebrity’s name on the papers: Lil Baby.

In case you missed that coverage, you can find it here. But don’t click that link just yet, because we need to remind you that Lil Baby’s Tesla Cybertruck is rather flashy. Just like 2 Chainz’s latest ride, Lil Baby’s also bears the signature of Roadshow International. That company was responsible for the shiny red wrap, while Forgiato designed the new red rims, which are far less flashy and a bit more ordinary than the ones fitted to 2 Chainz’ ride.

Given this rapid pace, we expect to see even more celebrity-owned Tesla Cybertrucks in the future. We just hope they stay in original form, as this model looks the best with the original silver look of the stainless steel body panels and the occasional black accents on certain components, like the wheel arches. One thing the Cybertruck deserves is a nice wheel upgrade, and with the myriad of offerings from different companies, picking the right one is easier said than done.

Now, before we move on to the next story, let us know what you think of 2 Chainz’s latest car, the customized Tesla Cybertruck pictured, and whether you think it looks better or worse than Lil Baby’s. That means you know what to do next, right?
