He revealed he  was launching his own marijuana line, Monogram, with the brand Caliva.

On Tuesday, Nov. 24, bosses at Subversive Capital Acquisition Corp. announced they had agreed to a deal with Caliva execs and Jay Z to create a new vertically integrated weed company to be named TPCO Holding Corp – with the former drug dealer set to serve as its Chief Visionary Officer.

We’re creating something people can trust and we’re investing in our future, our people, and our communities.”
