Most of Tyrese’s fans probably already know that the rapper owns a Mercedes Sprinter he got all customized into a Rolls-Royce Ghost interior. But for some reason, the artist still enjoys sharing pictures with him hanging out with his fellow artists in the car and always quoting they're in a Rolls-Royce Ghost.
By now you probably realized that it’s fashionable for rap artists to fit Rolls-Royce chrome grills on average Chryslers or other ordinary sedans. Well, think again, the real coolness awards nowadays go to those who get a Mercedes Sprinter and then build it up with all sorts of features. Being a Grammy-nominated artist, Tyrese Darnell Gibson couldn’t just drive any average car, so he turned his van into a look-alike Rolls-Royce Ghost.

From the outside it looks like any other van, but once you look inside, you’ll find a plasma TV ambient lighting, a phone and a surround sound system. And because it has to look like the Ghost, of course the roof comes with the shiny stars. Problem is, the led spots are surrounded by a pink frame. Decked out in a lavish interior by Chalmers Automative in Kansas City, the Sprinter features Rolls-Royce logos on the seats, TVs on boths sides and a back wall.

Funny thing is, that the barbie-ish Rolls-Rolls-look-alike van has actually been a big hit among Tyrese’s friends. In fact, he had rapper Ludacris lent it, songwriter/producer Rodney Jerkins and Seattle Seahawks quaterback Terrelle Pryor hanging out with him in the car. He even had Cody Walker, the brother of Tyrese’s tragic best friend, the late Fast and the Furious star Paul Walker, posing with him in the van.

And now, he posted another pic while sitting in the car next to rapper Meek Mill. And we quote: "My young gunz we jl gettin #Ghost I'm these streets off that @itsKristalLyn HOL' UP!!!!! My day dot @meekmill shit just got real... #VoltronRecordz google me!! Lol"

We have no problem what so ever with all this, we only ask for one thing: stop calling the Mercedes Sprinter a Rolls-Royce Ghost.
