Word. Mister Carter was the Def Jam mascot the same way Diddy is the Ciroc mascot. Who the fukk in their right mind is taking music advice from Jay Z during his bootleg retirement period yet this motherfukka stayed dropping verses (Dear Summer) and recording with Swizz, Timbo and Pharrell. Them CACs at Def Jam offered him a mascot position to get the fukk away from Dame for good so of course he jumped at the opportunity.

Diddy is a little more than a mascot. I don't know what mascot that gets 50 percent of all sales.

This thread kinda shows why that table looks like it does. Whenever one of our own gets into a position of power like that, they get torn down by their own. Their instantly labeled figureheads, mascots, c00ns etc. It's like cats can't accept that they are in power. fukked up when you can't even get support from your own people :wow:

And so a different deal was done. Diddy became the brand manager and chief marketing officer of the brand on a full-time basis. He even had the business cards made. In return he would take a 50 per cent share of Ciroc’s profits each year.

With deal signed, Diddy, working with his own marketing company the Blue Flame Agency, set about fixing Ciroc. While many in the industry sneered at the idea of celebrity endorser turned brand strategist, Diddy turned his sights on the branding basics.

T.O.
It's either that or become and irrelevant has been like Jaz.

You think Jigger wants to be that old head still rocking big ass Mecca jeans, AF1s and a Pelle Pelle leather because 1997 is on a constant loop in his consciousness.

Hell naw. Instead we get this dude who's somehow attractive enough to pull the baddest bytch in the game (back then), knows about Warhol and Basquiat along with having 5 passports.

And for all of that all you gotta do is rap about that time back in 1987 when you sold some crack crumbs and it somehow evolved into a skyscraper's height of bricks.

Well he gets 50% of the profit shares and it sounds like he is a major stockholder so technically he IS an owner...If they go pubic and sell the company, I doubt he'll be left out in the cold..
Like I said above, it's a sweet ass deal. Probably the best deal I've seen for a celebrity co-sign. He actually has a say in the direction of the brand, huge cut of the profits. I ain't hatin by no means lol but I always thought he owned at least a stake in ownership.
