Nas says he’s continuing to support the Jay-Z-sparked boycott against Cristal champagne in response to the company’s anti-hip-hop remarks in a magazine…but only if some other high-end brand of the bubbly would emerge to take its place.
"I support a boycott if we could come up--like if we put up something, our own champagne. There's tons of vineyards we could get into and buy. There's tons of ways to get inside of that, so that we can have 'Diddy/Nas champagne' and put them out, and drink our own thing."
Nas continued: "It's funny like, I said to Diddy, 'You know...do you understand that's the most illest, flossiest video of rap ["Hate Me Now"]. Do you know we were the first to disrespect the Cristal bottle? I was like, 'we spit the shitt up, you [Diddy] spit on the camera and saying we disrespected them.' We been disrespecting they bottle--treat it like 40 ounce. It's like any other brand of hypocrites and it's not surprising. It's not surprising. It's a joke."
"The bottom line is all these dudes is jealous of black men. Look, we look incredible. So stop making fly shitt, if you don't want us to buy it, hell, how in the fuck we gonna not drink the most [expensive] shit," said Nas."[It's the] same with jewelry, man," he continued. "Understand I'm gonna wear this motherfucking jewelry. I always buy some fly shit, so they got a problem with a Black man, I know they jealous of me. I'm gonna make 'em more mad. I'm gonna drink more of their shit [to upset them] and boycott em. Fuck 'em."
