Sometimes a boycott is right on point. Cristal found itself on the outs in the super-lucrative world of rapper endorsements when Jay-Z turned his back on the label in 2006.
That’s the year managing director Frederic Rouzaud said that he didn’t like the fact that his label was associated with “rappers” but, “what can we do? We can’t forbid people from buying it. I’m sure Dom Perignon or Krug would be delighted to have their business.”
Jay-Z released this statement, “I view his comments as racist and will no longer support any of his products through any of my various brands including the 40/40 Club nor in my personal life.” and we can’t remember the last time anyone rapped about a bottle of that bubbly since.
