Jayz-Z bans Cristal and they shrug…

Well Jay-Z banned Cristal from all of his 40/40 clubs after the managing director of Cristal parent Louis Roederer, told the magagzine The Economist that he felt a certain way about his brand’s being synonymous with hip-hop culture.

Jay-Z felt that the comments were racist and has decided to let his years of promoting the brand understandably go out the window. What bothers me is in the article below, is not that that Jay-Z banned them, it’s that the “CEO of Hip Hop” drops them from his “Baller’s Checklist” and they don’t even BLINK! Wow…

In my opinion, that is adding insult to injury. Let’s find another brand of champagne to indulge ourselves with during our celebratory jaunts.
