He's got the music world going crazy for every verse he spits, but Lil Wayne has a lot of other things going as well. He's reportedly dabbling in the world of champagne, as he gets ready to introduce a new bottle of bubbly called Halo later this year.
According to Vibe.com, the rapper's new top shelf bubbly will feature four variations of champagne.
There's Halo Brut, which offers a golden blush with a lemon cream and roasted hazelnut flavor with a citrusy finish; Halo Brut Vintage presents a sparkling amalgamation of almonds and lemon blossoms with a creamy consistency; Halo Rose is blended with the delightful aromas of crushed raspberries, mint and pomegranate that will remind wine aficionados of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes; and Halo Pinnacle is a Chardonnay laden with the texture of pure fruit, and the taste of lime-tree flowers and roasted hazelnuts is very noticeable.
"Champagne is for celebrating," Lil Wayne said in a statement. "I'm ready to put my foot in a new door. There are so many different business opportunities; I want to take advantage of it all."
He's definitely got things to celebrate too. His sixth solo album, Tha Carter III, went platinum in its first week, a rare accomplishment in this day and age.
He is also filming a project alongside Forest Whitaker called "Hurricane Seasons" (formerly titled, The Patriot).
