“Anything I do, I want to do correctly and at the highest level,” JAY-Z said in a statement. “With all the potential in the cannabis industry, Caliva’s expertise and ethos make them the best partners for this endeavor. We want to create something amazing, have fun in the process, do good and bring people along the way.”

Dennis O’Malley, CEO of Caliva, further expressed the brand's excitement to be collaborating with Jay-Z and claimed that they are "in complete alignment around our values and ethos was just a home run."
