When it was announced this past summer that Jay-Z was ending his involvement in Roc-A-Fella Records and the Rocawear clothing line, there were whispers of a strained relationship. Now Jay-Z is about to take the next step by going into business on his own with a brand of booze to compete against Dash's Armandale vodka.
"Jay is about to launch his own line of cognac with Grey Goose," said our source. "This seems innocuous, but it is his first real venture without Damon. He does not want Damon to be a part of it."
Jay-Z's cognac will have some competition from Roc-A-Fella rapper Cam'ron, who told Women's Wear Daily he's also launching a cognac: "It's called Sizzurp. You know, like, syrup with an izzurp." It is not known whether Dash is partners with Cam'ron in the hip-hop hooch.
What's funnier? A shitty, badly named cognac that tastes like syrup, or the fact that a rapper was interviewed by Women's Wear Daily.
