Juicy J celebrates cashing in on bottled water investment

Rap veteran Juicy J is laughing all the way to the bank after cashing in on his investment in bottled water company Core.
The Oscar winner was one of the early supporters of Core Nutrition’s premium water product in 2015, and now he is celebrating after bosses at Keurig Dr. Pepper acquired the brand for $525 million (£411 million).
It’s not known how much Juicy J will receive for his share of the firm, but he is thankful his backing has paid off.
“The best investment I made in my life,” he posted on Twitter on Thursday (29Nov18), alongside a screenshot of a news article about the big business move.
According to AllHipHop.com, he isn’t the only celebrity to invest in Core – his Dark Horse collaborator Katy Perry, producer Dr. Luke, and dance star Diplo will also benefit from the sale.
Meanwhile, Juicy J, real name Jordan Michael Houston, has hinted at another big development in his professional life after sharing a snap of himself at the offices of Columbia Records, and suggesting he is poised to take over as the label’s boss.
“I just wanna thank @columbiarecords for considering me for President/CEO,” he captioned the shot. “I’m Bout to Bring something new to this Game (sic).”
He has yet to elaborate on Wednesday’s Instagram post, and Columbia Records representatives have not commented on the rumours. Music executive Ron Perry had previously been appointed to the top role in January (18).
