Life is only getting better for Nas. The Queensbridge MC just inked a deal with Hennessy for their second annual “Wild Rabbit” campaign. The campaign will see Mr. Jones perform at a private concert at New York’s R Lounge on Jan. 15—an event which will be broadcasted online through Livestream, and later made available to download on Hennessy’s Facebook page. But before that, Nas and Miss Info will be sitting down to talk about the new partnership and much more. Fans will also have the opportunity to connect with Nas before the show during a live Q&A session on Twitter. It all goes down at 9:15 ET via Livestream on Hennessy’s FACEBOOK Page. We’ll have the stream link here for you tonight a well.
This partnership with Hennessy has been almost two decades in the making. I am honored to be included in the group of previous partners Hennessy has selected over the years and hope this campaign will inspire others to ‘never stop, never settle.–Nas

Nice.
I remember when Nas wouldn’t do ads for any alcohol company. “I cringe when I see Marvin Gaye in a Hennessy ad” – Nas.
All good though. Still one of the greatest EVER!!

wow that was a quote of his?? lmao damn! someone either a)needs $$$ or b) realized it isn’t that much more a stretch to partner up with a company you’ve promoted for free in countless raps! lol…yea I remember him turning down Coor’s in his MTV Diary years ago…but I never knew he felt that way about the Henny x Marvin Gaye promo!

Yeah he said that. He has actually said that he’d never do liqour advertisements and criticized other people for doing them many times. But that’s Nas though lol. Let’s be honest, we all know what the reason behind the “partnership” is. We’ve all read the reports. It is what it is.

let me ask you this? what is the difference between a man name-dropping Hennesey in countless rhymes & now actually getting paid to endorse it! Its not like Nas was never a drinker and all of a sudden is embracing something new! He’s been talkin about Henny since Illmatic…if you didnt have a problem with it then, you shouldnt now! Nas messed up by stating he’d never promo an alcohol company…I knew those words would one day come back to bite him in the ass from so called -righteous , holier than thou, quick to say someone sold their soul type niggas…
