somebody explain this to me like I’m lovelypeaches
Jay-Z offered Bacardi $1.5 billion for its half of their cognac. Bacardi said no. Fourteen months later Bacardi paid him $750 million in cash for half of his stake, by his own account
2012. Jay-Z and Bacardi launch D'Ussé as a 50/50 partnership. He raps about it, Bacardi makes and ships it
December 2021. Jay offers Bacardi $1.5 billion for its half of the brand. Bacardi says no
Court papers later show how far apart they were. Jay's side put the value at $2.5 billion. Bacardi's side put it at $460 million. Bacardi said he walked away from a "handshake deal" and demanded twice what was offered
October 2022. Jay sues in Delaware to see the books. His argument: the buyout terms gave Bacardi a reason to run the brand down before paying him out
February 2023. Settlement. Bacardi goes to at least 75%. Jay keeps the rest. This year he told GQ he took $750 million in cash for that quarter
In the video below, GQ asks him if he has reached the top floor. His answer:
"The next step is, like, owning the building"
GQ had reminded him of a billionaire partner who once stayed a floor above him in the same hotel. Jay's update: "No, you're staying at my hotel"
The case for Bacardi: they built the bottle, the distribution and the shelf space
The case for Jay: the bottle sold because of his name
$1.5 billion offered
$460 million, Bacardi's side
$2.5 billion, Jay's side
$750 million in cash

Beyoncé being the best of all time, Doja being the best rapper of all time. SZA it’s your turn to make history 🤭
Cowboy DD ★ retweeted
Beyoncé heaps praise on her favorite UK artists @sienna_spiro, @raye, and Olivia Dean. 🇬🇧❤️
“I’ve known [Sienna Spiro’s] family well for quite some time.”
“[Raye] has had such an anointing.”
“I also love Olivia Dean.”
actually a LOT of artists would croak from attempting to create a Lemonade not just Britney don’t let nostalgia blind you. She along with many others doesn’t and will never have the artistic growth to be that ambitious on ONE singular album. I’m tired of people downplaying Bey
Lemonade is more infamous than any Britney Spears album damn right we glaze it. Your fave could literally never, she’d croak from the attempt 😭😭
Every time she starts snapping at her mom I lose it 😭😭

Every line Sarah Pulson says in #AllsFair is more unhinged than the last, you genuinely can't guess what she is gonna say next.
