Quotetheshaderoom #TSRReactionz: Michael B. Jordan is expanding his portfolio with the launch of his new rum brand, J'Ouvert, and while MBJ was celebrating his new venture this weekend, members of the Trinbagonian (Trinidad and Tobago) community were outraged at his choice to trademark the name J'ouvert.
__________
J'ouvert is a huge street party held each year in Trinidad and Tobago during Carnival. People in the Trini community took to social media to express their anger toward Michael B. Jordan, accusing him of cultural appropriation for profiting off the name but having no known ties to the islands.
__________
The description on the box of the rum, which bares the same name, says J'ouvert "Derives from the Antellian Creole French term meaning 'daybreak,' J'OUVERT originated in the pre-dawn streets of Trinidad, as celebration of emancipation combined with Carnival season to serve as the festival informal commencements. Crafted on those same islands, J'OUVERT Rum is a tribute to the party start."
__________
Michael has not publicly addressed the criticism though there were unconfirmed rumors that his business partner is of Trinidadian descent. SWIPE to see what Trini people had to say about Michael B. Jordan's J'Ouvert.

Nicki's response:

Quotenickiminaj I'm sure MBJ didn't intentionally do anything he thought Caribbean ppl would find offensive— but now that you are aware, change the name & continue to flourish & prosper. 🙏🏾🇹🇹 #jouvert

J'ouvert is definitely a huge thing for the islanders in NYC

this was literally my first time seeing how it's spelled tho

bvvvvvvvvvvv

we just pronounce it "Jew-vay". A lot of non-islanders attend

huge party usually held in the hood of Brooklyn where's theres always some MESS going down ... stabbings...shootings ... my kinda mess :trannyjblige:
