frederic Rouzaud racist statement

Cristal Champagne

When Jay Z speaks, the world listens. This was the case in 2006 when Mr. Carter accused the luxury brand of being racist due to comments made by Cristal managing director Fredric Rouzaud. Rouzaud inferred that Cristal’s association with the flashy hip-hop lifestyle could be detrimental to the brand. Jigga responded, telling the Associated Press that he viewed the comments as “racist” and will “no longer support any of their products.” Join the conversation!
