Business mogul and Hip-Hop icon Shawn Carter is ready to change the game investing his own money into rising Black owned business.
According to the Wall Street Journal, Carter will launch a fund to invest in Black-Owned Cannabis businesses.
This news comes after Carter felt it was important to address the residuals Black America faced with the War on Drugs.
“It’s really unbelievable how that can happen,” Shawn Carter said, via Wall Street Journal. “We were the ones most negatively affected by the war on drugs, and America has turned around and created a business from it that’s worth billions.”
A lot of Black men are behind bars and if people remember “Operation Hammer” in Los Angeles during the late 1980s’, it’s personal.
