At the onset and completion of each project, Lil Jon has started a mini-tradition that’s totally on brand for him: Offering a round of shots to the group. While, on the surface, it’s easy to dismiss this as the rapper just looking for an excuse to have some fun, as he explained to The Hollywood Reporter, the drinks have a deeper meaning.
Jon is very much aware of his public persona and that, while homeowners may be excited about the opportunity to have their home undergo an HGTV transformation, his clients may be just a bit worried about what they’ve gotten themselves into. “It’s kind of something to break the tension of thinking about what’s about to happen and how much you’re spending and like, ‘Oh, my God, this is Lil Jon in my house — hopefully this is right,” he told the outlet about the pre-project shots. He explained that the drinks at the end of the renovation say, “‘We made it to the finish line. Let’s cheers to that.'”
In the end, he loves seeing the look on the homeowners’ faces when they witness the design magic that he and his partner, Anitra Mecadon, have made together. He also joked, “You know, who doesn’t wanna do a shot of tequila with me?” Since many of their clients are Millennials, we’re hard-pressed to come up with an answer.
