On Wednesday, June 5, the rap mogul and producer (real name Curtis Jackson), 48, traveled down to Capitol Hill to advocate for fellow Black business owners and push for more representation in the luxury liquor space, The Hill reports. He was joined by civil rights attorney Ben Crump during his surprise visit, where the two spoke to lawmakers about how they could potentially bridge the wealth gap and carve out more space for Black-owned spirits companies.
“Mr. Jackson is one of the most successful Black entrepreneurs in America,” Crump said, per the outlet. “We’re here today to talk about how he’s trying to knock down barriers of equal access and equal opportunity to have a seat at the table in all industries.”
