Man I got a story for this one!! So I get the email, Young MA is coming thru to talk to us about some things, lets’s get everyone together, so I lined up the team, but then my HiT co-Host and I talk about some tech stuff and I figure out I want to go get an exclusive(ish) piece of tech, so I gather my belongings and self, and bus myself on down to the city!
(Photos) Ooouuu: FL Store Packages Hennessy In Custom ‘Headphanie’ Bottles
Young M.A. calls her Headphanie, and apparently the Lilac Company does too. Two stores in Florida are now selling Hennessy bottles customized by the company, donning a purple logo and a Headphanie label. While it would be a cool idea if Young M.A. was behind it, apparently she’s not, and now many are upset that the Lilac Company – run by four non-black men – are making money off of the New York rapper’s creativity. “Stop saying we’re tryna capitalize off @YoungMAMusic – this was an art idea, and that’s all it is,” the company wrote in a now-deleted tweet. “We’re in talks with her manager.” They also noted that “the liquor stores selling it not us,” which makes no sense, as it’s YOUR product so yes, you’re still selling it.
