Lil Wayne Pops His Own Bottle, Soulja Boy Steps Game Up

by REIGN

WEDNESDAY JULY 2, 2008

Lil Wayne has just teamed up with Milestone Brands and French grower Voirin-Jumeh to market his own champagne. The name of the product ,"Halo Champagne",  is scheduled to be out late this year. You may remember seeing this in the "Lollipop" video. In a recent interview Wayne said, “I’m excited about this venture with Milestone Brands...Champagne is for celebrating. There are so many different business opportunities…I want to take advantage of it all. I’m ready to put my foot in a new door.”

 Halo Champagne will have four distinctive sub-brands, each with its own flavor.

 

 

 

And for all you die-hard Soulja Boy fans..... 

Soulja Boy has just inked a deal with Yums Shoes. He will work with Yums’ designers to create his own signature shoe with Yums’ Block Star line of sneakers, which feature graffiti art on the soles of each colorfully crafted shoe.  Yums Shoes CEO, JP McDade said, "It clearly demonstrates how music and fashion blend together. The shoes and clothing line allow the wearer to express his or her personality, because each shoe is an individual piece of art. Soulja Boy Tell’em will be able to assist in designing shoes and apparel exactly the way he would want them to look. And with Interscope’s considerable marketing savvy, we expect this effort to be our biggest, most far-reaching yet."

 Mr. Collipark, who was the man who signed SB and put him on the map says, ""We are very excited and have high expectations for this opportunity and future Soulja Boy Tell'em endeavors, including movies and television."

"Soulja Boy Steps Game Up"....lol. stepping his game up would actually be taking the time to go in the studio with a pen & write something meaningful (ala Ice-T)

SB already looks like a fuckin froot cake without colorful shoes, imagine him when he starts wearing them...

Real talk, he uses the game to get what he needs and all niggas can do is hate and say "he ruining hip hop." like there ain't no room for change. He is a businessman first, which is what half of these niggas need to learn how to do. Props to Soulja Boy for usin strategy...and Wayne, what's to say about that nigga except that he's the best rapper alive?

SB didn't make corny raps to get him out the hood. That nigga made crank dat in a studio his daddy provided. That nigga been had heavy pockets. And us supporting this nigga jus makes em fatter. This why the rich stay rich and the poor stay poor. Start supporting your local niggas that are really in the gutter. If some of my niggas had a real studio they be major and be on some real shit!
