In other Jay-Z news, the Brooklyn-bred and Bacardi have announced a long-term agreement surrounding the D’USSÉ cognac brand following a publicized legal battle.
“Growing D’USSÉ over the past decade from an idea to one of the fastest-selling spirits in history has been a blessing,” Hov said in a statement. “The next phase of this journey will further cement D’USSÉ’s legacy as one of the world’s most respected brands. I am excited to renew this partnership with Bacardi.”
The agreement is billed as marking the launch of the next chapter of D’USSÉ and sees Bacardi acquiring a majority interest in the multibillion-dollar brand, while Jay will also retain a “significant ownership stake.” Evercore, notably, served as Jay-Z’s exclusive financial advisor.
