We see Shreveport as a beacon of inspiration and creativity.\u201d<\/p><p>He shared that same perspective on June 5 with lawmakers from both sides of the aisle including House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R), House Speaker Mike Johnson (R), Rep. Troy A. Carter (D) and Rep. Nikema Williams (D) while discussing his ventures in the liquor industry through trade company <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sirespirits.com\">Sire Spirits.<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p><p>Jackson said he has faced discrimination in the luxury liquor industry and claims he was overcharged $6 million by supplier Suntory Global, formerly known as Beam Suntory.<\/p><p>&#8220;Changing the company name from Beam Suntory to [Suntory Global Spirits] without correcting what was done to my brands [Branson Cognac] and [Le Chemin Du Roi] doesn\u2019t fix the problem and lacks honor,&#8221; Jackson posted on Instagram. &#8220;I attempted to resolve the matter, not once, but twice. Now the legal process will play out publicly for everyone to see what really happened and how [Suntory Global Spirits] would rather spend millions to protect and conceal criminal conduct instead of doing the right thing.&#8221;<\/p><p>Jackson\u2019s attorney Craig Weiner claimed Suntory\u2019s Chief Commercial Officer, Julious Grant, committed fraud causing Jackson to overpay on taxes, insurance, customs and commissions.<\/p><p>\u201cWe are committed to helping Mr. Jackson demonstrate the true power of not just his television acumen, but also the power of the consumers to make corporate America allow a seat at the table for hard-working Black entrepreneurs,\u201d Crump who is also representing Jackson released in a statement.<\/p><p>The celebrated civil rights attorney said the artist and businessman is working to open doors for entrepreneurs of color.<\/p><p>\u201c[Jackson] was here today trying to blaze trails, knock down barriers and say just like you want generational wealth for you children, we want generational wealth for our children,\u201d Crump later continued.<\/p><p>Black Americans represent 12% of alcohol consumers across categories, but they make up just 7.8% of the sector\u2019s labor force, 2% of executives in the industry, and 0% of acquisitions, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.distilledspirits.org\/news\/pronghorn-and-distilled-spirits-council-partner-to-drive-equal-representation-for-the-black-community-in-the-spirits-industry\/\">Pronghorn<\/a>, an organization dedicated to increasing diversity within the spirits sector.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Jackson and his team visited the Hill with hopes to help drastically improve statistics for minorities in the spirits business. He left feeling like that goal was successfully accomplished.<\/p><p>\u201cThis is exciting for me, I got to meet with both sides today,\u201d said Jackson. \u201cThe response I got makes me feel like there are bright things ahead of us.\u201d<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>50 Cent visited the White House and Capitol Hill to advocate for minority small business owners in the spirits industry, and to highlight the discrimination he has faced in the industry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4423,"featured_media":1208125,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"newspack_ads_suppress_ads":false,"newspack_popups_has_disabled_popups":false,"newspack_sponsor_sponsorship_scope":"","newspack_sponsor_native_byline_display":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_native_category_display":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_underwriter_style":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_underwriter_placement":"inherit","apple_news_api_created_at":"","apple_news_api_id":"","apple_news_api_modified_at":"","apple_news_api_revision":"","apple_news_api_share_url":"","apple_news_cover_media_provider":"image","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_cover_video_id":0,"apple_news_cover_video_url":"","apple_news_cover_embedwebvideo_url":"","apple_news_is_hidden":"","apple_news_is_paid":"","apple_news_is_preview":"","apple_news_is_sponsored":"","apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":[],"apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"_primary_brand":0,"nota_seo_page_title":"50 Cent advocates for minority entrepreneurs in spirits industry","nota_seo_page_description":"Rapper 50 Cent visits Capitol Hill to advocate for minority small business owners in the spirits industry.","newspack_featured_image_position":"small","newspack_post_subtitle":"","newspack_article_summary_title":"Overview:","newspack_article_summary":"","newspack_hide_updated_date":false,"newspack_show_updated_date":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,30843],"tags":[72128,72125,72126,68519,72129,69224,72127],"brand":[],"newspack_spnsrs_tax":[],"coauthors":[69468],"class_list":["post-1208123","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-entertainment","category-lifestyle","tag-craig-weiner","tag-curtis-jackson","tag-house-majority-leader-steve-scalise","tag-house-speaker-mike-johnson","tag-julious-grant","tag-rep-nikema-williams","tag-rep-troy-a-carter","entry"],"apple_news_notices":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.4 (Yoast SEO v24.6) -
