Beyoncé Takes Sole Ownership of SirDavis Whisky
Beyoncé is officially the sole owner of SirDavis whisky.
The Grammy-winning superstar has acquired Moët Hennessy‘s ownership stake in the premium American whisky brand she co-founded in 2024, making it a fully independent, woman-, family- and Black-owned company.
Financial terms of the buyout were not disclosed.
Named after Beyoncé’s great-grandfather, Davis Hogue, SirDavis celebrates Black Southern heritage while drawing inspiration from Scotch and Japanese whisky traditions. The spirit is distilled in Indiana before being finished, blended, and bottled in Houston, where the brand is now headquartered.

Created alongside master distiller Dr. Bill Lumsden and blender Cameron George, the premium whisky is crafted from 51% rye and 49% malted barley before being bottled at 44% ABV.
The acquisition gives Beyoncé complete control over the brand’s future, marking a major business milestone beyond her music career. The move also opens a new chapter for SirDavis as an independent spirits company rooted in her family’s history and Texas heritage, with Beyoncé now overseeing the brand’s creative vision and long-term growth.
Tyla’s ‘That Girl’ Video Fuels AI Debate
Tyla has released the official music video for “That Girl,” one of the latest singles from her sophomore album, APOP.
Directed by Mila Rowyszn and Oliwia Drożdż, the colorful visual blends live-action footage with retro-inspired animation, placing Tyla in a playful fantasy world alongside an animated tiger while showcasing luxury fashion, jewelry and dance sequences.
Soon after its release, the video sparked debate online, with some viewers claiming the animation looked “cheap.” As if it was AI-generated or heavily AI-assisted.
The creative team pushed back on those claims, saying no artificial intelligence was used in producing the video. Instead, they said the project relied on traditional green-screen filming, motion design, animation and compositing to achieve its distinctive look.
While critics questioned the visual style, many fans praised the video’s playful aesthetic and defended the creative team’s explanation that no AI was used.
