Whaaaat?!?! Yeah, that’s right, you heard it hear first. Rapper Lil Jon, aka Jonathan Smith, has launched his own wine company selling California-produced wine. The 36-year-old started by making drinks for parties which became so popular he decided to start selling to the masses. He is no sommelier, but he believes his company will be a big success.
Lil Jon tells The Associated Press, “We were just going to do some private label stuff (for parties) and we did it, and people was like, ‘Hey, it’s pretty nice.’
“I’m not no ‘drink wine every day’ kind of dude. I’m not like an expert, so don’t ask me no questions … I just like the taste.
“The wine is more nature: I wanted to not just have a direct connection, but make it just a little bit more upscale than regular Lil Jon. This is not no ghetto Boone’s Farm; this is some real wine.” Lil Jon is no stranger to the drinks market, you may remember he started Crunk!!! Energy Drink in 2005, named after the rap style he made famous.
