He may not have been “In da Club,” but rapper Curtis Jackson, better known as 50 Cent, paid a visit to Capitol Hill on June 5 to meet with lawmakers and the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) regarding the issues of black entrepreneurship and minority representation in the alcohol industry.
Mr. Jackson posted on X, formerly Twitter, that he was meeting with the CBC to discuss how Japanese beverage company Suntory has “damaged my business,” referring to Branson Cognac and Le Chemin du Roi Brut Champagne. There is a legal dispute between Suntory and Mr. Jackson.
