Following the debut of Drake’s facetious ad for Virginia Black Whiskey on Saturday (July 15), Sean “Diddy” Combs took to Twitter to send the Toronto titan a celebratory message. Alongside Drake’s ad, which also features his father Dennis Graham, Diddy wrote, “Another man of color owning their own is big for all of us!!! It’s time to start supporting us!!!! Congrats @Drake #BlackExcellence.”
The “#BlackExcellence” hashtag is in reference to Diddy’s short film — Black Excellence — that the Bad Boy mogul unveiled Saturday night. Starring JAY-Z, it’s a behind-the-scenes look at the Roc Nation Brunch and Diddy’s Pre-Grammy soiree. The film also features French Montana, Jaden Smith, 2 Chainz, and DJ Khaled, and music from JAY, Notorious B.I.G. and Cheryl Lynn.
Diddy has found significant success with his own Cîroc Vodka brand, but only time will tell if Drake’s venture with Virginia Black Whiskey will be as lucrative.
Check out the post above and a second clip of Drake’s ad below.
i think white people should support each other in the same way but that would be racist
LOl you mean opposed to the past 6 centuries? Now that was racist.
I feel like you’ll kind already do tho..:
talentless talking to talentless, just copy somebody else and that can make you rich
Would hear ciroc all the time in rap songs. Thought it was some expensive stuff
I checked it out at Bevmo that shit is a $29.99 bottle lol
Id stick with my cognac and scotch.
Drake already a legend.
Why do black entertainers seem to consistently peddle liquor to their fanbases/communities? Hmm. Like every rapper or hip hop figure wants to sell a literal poison to people.
Preach??
“Virginia Black, I could go make enough money off that and not even rap. What’s that? facts?”
Diddy doesn’t own ciroc though
That whoa at the end is corny AF!
Thanks Drake! I’m gonna go spend my $60 on some Virginia Black instead of paying my child support this month. Who knows? Maybe I’ll even get a DUI on the way out of the club while listenin to that new Views??? Thanks for being a role model! – Stanley Kendrake Mathers
Feminem is dah yo??
Drake’s gay juice.. if u drink that bull, u r in denial.. ghostwriter juice
Stop making everything about fucking race
so a few black dudes can’t celebrate breaking into the spirits game that has been dominated by whites since forever? We gonna celebrate these dudes and drink their brands the same way yall celebrated Eminem for becoming a beast in rap and some of yall even called him the goat. So yeah its about race, a race to the top of the liquor charts
cares no one
You know all the Ovarie Stans are gonna be walkin round the club holdin a bottle of that candian horse piss whiskey actin like there smooth and ballin! What a bunch of copy cat clowns
just congratulate him by bitch slapping the shit outta him again diddy #DRAKEISFAKEDRAKEISWACK #DRAKE SUPPORTS HUMAN TRAFFICKING
Those hash tags mean something to you.?..They make you feel better about yourself?.. They do, I can tell. lmao
Virginia Black ain’t even made in virginia hahaha and drakes just as white as he is black (probably more white)
I love P Diddy and his stand on certain areas of life. He made a change in the music, entertainment, and fashion industry. For example, he made phenomenal music, took a stand for all types of dancers and made a new venture with men’s cologne.
Ain’t no Drake article if these losers ain’t here venting.
“His own Ciroc Vodka brand”? WTF is this? HHDX, there is difference between it being his own brand and him being a spokesperson/brand ambassador.
