“Jay Z Double-Crossed Us” Bacardi Claims

Jay-Z has co-owned D’Ussé since 2011, and famously drank it straight out of one of the Grammy Awards he won for Watch the Throne in 2013. The suit demands that Jay be given access to the production warehouses, D’Ussé barrels, bottles, and all other info regarding Bacardi’s inventory-keeping process. SC Liquor writes that it needs to “monitor the conduct of [Bacardi’s] business to protect SC’s rights” as a partner.
Speaking of Watch the Throne, Kanye West talked about a potential sequel to the blockbuster project during a controversial interview he gave on Drink Champs this week, and shouted out D’Usee in the process.
“This D’Ussé is brought to you by my brother Hov,” Ye said at one point. “Courtesy of The Throne. Part 2 coming soon.”
In September 2018, Kanye West confirmed the album was in the works when he tweeted: “throne2 coming soon.”
Jay-Z has yet to comment on the potential project and most recently contributed an epic verse on DJ Khaled’s song “God Did.”
As for the lawsuit, TMZ has reached out to Jay-Z for comment, but the rapper-turned-mogul has yet to issue a statement on them matter.
