Rapper Nelly launched his new energy drink, Pimp Juice, on September 1, but the rapper is already coming under fire from a North Carolina minister who believes that the drink popularizes the pimp lifestyle.

Reverend Paul Scott, founder of the Messianic Afrikan Nation in Durham, North Carolina, took exception to a statement on the product's website which quotes Nelly's company, Team Lunatics, as saying the new energy drink mixes well with vodka. Scott also disliked a statement on the website urging the consumer to be "the first P.I.M.P. on the block to try Nelly's new premium energy drink."

Scott shared his concerns in a recent e-mail that said, "The black community is in danger, right now. As black men we should be building a nation of strong black leaders, not a nation of super energized, drunk pimps."

Nelly named the energy drink after his hit song "Pimp Juice" from his 2002 multi-platinum album, Nellyville.
