Jay-Z is a businessman before anything else, and like any good entreprenuer, he refused to promote something without getting paid for his efforts.
While he was making money selling it at his club, I doubt he will lose sleep over the 50-100K/year.
Cristal does not make its money off the hip-hop crowd; their broke and too young as a whole for that product. Cristal's brand image was shifting and that would obviously be a blow to the bottom line.
If you put a little Red Bull in your champagne, it all tastes pretty close after the first hour. A la carte, Dom Rose is the choice.
