Bacardi Claims JAY-Z Tried To 'Inflate' D'Ussé's Value Amid Legal Battle
JAY-Z's legal battle with Bacardi over the future of D'Ussé is getting more messy by the day. According to a report TMZ published on Wednesday, November 2, Bacardi claimed that the Roc Nation founder is trying to double the brand's value in order to make a bigger profit. The liquor brand's subsidiary, Empire Investments, said both parties made a "handshake deal" last December where Empire agreed to buy Hov's 50% stake in the cognac brand. However, they claim JAY-Z backed out of the deal in an effort to make D'Ussé double what it's worth.
