Sean John is closing its flagship New York store. Find out why, plus info on Ice T's newest business venture, and Swizz Beats' residency at NYU when you read on...
Diddy will be closing his flagship Sean John clothing store this December. The 3500 square foot store is being closed due to slow sales. However, Sean John is reportedly looking to open other store locations in New York and LA. The 5th Avenue location was the first Sean John store to open in 2004. Earlier this year, Diddy signed a deal with Macy's to carry his brand exclusively.
Not gonna lie. The Sean John women's line prototypes always looked HOT...but was never marketed to the masses for some reason. Oh wells...
Ice-T is following the footsteps of Diddy, Ludacris, and Dr. Dre by launching his own line of liquor. The rapper/actor signed a deal with Aiko Importers and Pay Up Management to promote Original Gangster XO Brandy. Ice-T's manager says, "Ice decided it would be best to have partnership in the business so we can build other brands. The bottles are great and the liquor is fantastic.”
Original Gangster XO Brandy is produced in France and is made by hand.
Will this be your new drink of choice?
Swizz Beatz is having a great year. He got married to Alicia Keys, a proud new father to a beautiful baby boy Egypt, and is now a professor at New York University. The producer/rapper was named NYU's first producer-in-residence at the Clive Davis Department of Recorded Music. Swizz will give students personal sessions along with group lectures and mentoring. Rumored guest lecturers include his wife Alicia, Kanye, Jay-Z, and Beyonce. Don't have me go sneak and sign up for Professor Beatz's class real quick....
Imagine a class taught by these music moguls...
