What Happened To EZ VIP After Shark Tank?

Posted by Tandra Barner on Sunday, June 2, 2024

After Alashe Nelson showcased his EZ VIP on "Shark Tank" among the wealthy panel of star lenders, FUBU founder Daymond John was able to secure a huge opportunity for the company that many startups do not get. During an update episode, John introduced Nelson to Grammy-award-winning recording artist Pitbull during a meeting in Miami. The entertainer signed on to endorse the company and agreed to help bring in other big names.

Pitbull did film several pieces of promotional content for the company, though all of it has seemingly been scrubbed from the internet (via All Shark Tank Products). It also does not appear that any other celebrities followed suit and joined the lively business. John, Pitbull, and Nelson did make some headway in the Las Vegas and New York nightlife, though the extent of EZ VIP's run in the cities is unknown. Even more troubling is that the official EZ VIP website is no longer up. A Facebook page for the company also has not had any activity since 2014. Their Instagram profile is currently private, with the now-disabled URL link still listed in the page's bio.
