Quavo Collaborates With Black Operators On Birkinz Brand And Drops Merchandise Line With Desto Dubb
Quavo has been building a new brand, and it’s not his usual forte. He is known for leading his hip hop supergroup, (the) Migos, acting in the series Narcos, Black ish, and a new movie called Takeover, and for songwriting for the likes of Madonna, Beyoncé & Jay – Z. This new venture is Legal cannabis.
A year ago, Birkinz arrived on the scene in the California cannabis industry. Paired and promoted with miniature versions of Birkin Bags and a Birkin bag giveaway. Retail stores didn’t hesitate to purchase his brand in bulk.
The Migos rapper spoke with TMZ Hip Hop last week and said he got the idea for the new weed strain because he just “got tired of buying the girls Birkins, so we started smoking it!!!”
No Broke Smoke 💨 is the slogan.
Quavo teamed up with black-owned and operated Winners Circle Genetics to curate his strain. The Bay Area geneticists pride themselves on a handful of luxury cannabis strains, including Peanut Butter and Jelly and 1942. This collaboration is special because, unlike so many other celebrities who turn to corporate cannabis companies, Quavo partnered with Black men who started in the legacy market.
Birkinz, a hybrid strain clocking in at 31.2% THC is available in more than 60 retail stores throughout Northern and Southern California.
