The world is congratulating Jay-Z after the massive announcement this morning that his Ace Of Spades champagne brand would be entering a partnership with LVMH, the luxury multinational luxury corporation. It's a massive deal for hip-hop, specifically, since Armand De Brignac was created after Hov called for a boycott of Cristal champagne after they suggested its association with the culture, and Black artists, would harm the brand.

"This is a love letter to my son-in-law Shawn Carter," Knowles-Lawson began her Instagram post.
Knowles-Lawson, also mom to Solange, said she was "inspired to write this" because at the Super Bowl earlier this month "we witnessed the national anthem, 'America the Beautiful' and the halftime entertainment all being super talented black people!!!," referring to Jazmine Sullivan (who performed with Eric Church), H.E.R. and the Weeknd, who all slayed their performances, she said, "making Black excellence shine and us all proud."
