Jay-Z May Score Four Million Dollars Off Ace of Spades

Jay-Z famously denounced Cristal champagne after its owner blasted the hip-hop community for lessening his product’s value. But the switch over to Armand de Brignac — the Ace of Spades champagne — was more lucrative than one would suspect.

In a recent investigatory piece by ‘The Atlantic,’ the publication asserts that Hov secretly makes a cool $4 million in profit for promoting the champagne, which experts quoted in the story claim is “overpriced garbage.”

Hov first embraced the French bubbly in his 2006 video for ‘Show Me What You Got,’ after Frederic Rouzaud, manager of Cristal’s parent company Louis Roederer, fired shots at rappers for cheapening the brand.
