Rapper Drake is taking his Virginia Black Whiskey company public.
The Started From The Bottom hitmaker launched the liquor line in 2016 and now he is taking the company to the next level by launching an international public offering (IPO). Drake and his partner Brent Hocking are hoping to raise US$30 million to help the company expand when they launch the IPO later this year, according to Billboard.
“Virginia Black is the perfect combination of exceptionally good juice in exquisite packaging at an accessible price,” a statement from Hocking reads. “From inception, we wanted everyone to enjoy Virginia Black, and are pleased to extend the opportunity to millions of Americans and other investors around the world to become part of the Virginia Black family.”
Drake recently released a Virginia Black commercial, starring himself and his father Dennis Graham.
