Jay-Z‘s company, SC Liquor, has filed a lawsuit against spirit company Bacardi, over the brand’s lack of financial clarity involving their partnership with D’Usse.
The hip hop mogul has co-owned D’Usse since 2011, and famously drank it straight out of a Grammy trophy when he won the award for Watch The Throne in 2013. The suit demands that Jay be given access to the production warehouses, D’Usse barrels, bottles and all other info regarding Bacardi’s inventory-keeping process. SC Liquor writes it needs to “monitor the conduct of [Bacardi’s] business to protect SC’s rights” as a partner.
As for the lawsuit, TMZ has reached out to Jay-Z for comment, but no statement on the matter has been issued yet.
