Jay-Z withdraws Cristal in 'hip-hop culture' row

Rap mogul Shawn 'Jay-Z' Carter has withdrawn Cristal champagne from his New York nightclub 40/40 after the company's boss made negative comments about the wine's association with hip-hop.

Cristal managing director Frederic Rouzaud told The Economist magazine he was unimpressed the expensive beverage has become popular in rap circles.
