Jeremih has partnered with an acclaimed Napa Valley winery to launch Birthday Sex wine, named after one of his best-known hits.
Per Vibe, the R&B singer has teamed up with Russell Bevan for the so-called “Naked Chardonnay,” which comes complete with a red thong decorating the wine bottle. Produced in Washington state’s Columbia Valley, the Birthday Sex wine was developed Jeremih’s direct input.
“People might think I’m a tequila or Hennessy drinker but don’t let the media fool you. I’ve always been a white wine kinda guy,” he said. “Watching my friends launch their own liquors got me thinking; why am I not doing that? So that’s where LiveOne came in.”
He continued: “They linked me with legendary winemaker Russell Bevan, and when two legends link up it’s a recipe for success. Now I got a wine that’s perfect for the crib, the club, the studio – anywhere you wanna get a little loose. I’m excited to expand my entrepreneurial endeavors and showcase my creativity in a whole new way.”
Last August, Jeremih made headlines when he linked up with Summer Walker for a roller rink meet-up.
An Instagram post made by The Neighborhood Talk suggested that the two singers were in a relationship after an eagle-eyed fan snapped a video of them together at a roller skating rink.
But not long after the post went up, Walker took to the outlet’s Instagram page to clear things up post-haste.
“That man has never touched me and never will,” she wrote. “No disrespect. He happened to be there while I was there. Celebs go skating too. T.I., Tiny, Usher and many more be at Cascade. Damn y’all make my ass itch. I can’t do nothing without y’all being in my business.”
Jeremih has yet to comment on the speculation, although it should be noted he isn’t particularly active on social media.
On the music side, he was also recently featured in Jim Jones’ Lumidee-inspired “If You Want Me To Stay” visual.
The track and coinciding visual also arrived on August 25. Capo sits in the director’s chair alongside Will C and Tana to helm the flick, which finds him at home in the concrete jungle taking a short subway ride to Brooklyn.
Jones invites various breakdancers to the video set as they parade through New York City’s boroughs while Jeremiah croons to the catchy chorus from Lumidee’s 2003 smash “Never Leave You.”
The Dipset rapper grabs the mic and dares his girl to leave him because she won’t know how good she had it when he’s gone.
“If you want me to stay/You gotta show the reasons/Sometimes your attitude can be so misleading/Private jets change the weather in them snowy seasons/Shit, I could bless a bitch like a hoe was sneezing,” he raps.
