Hip-hop mogul Jay-Z says he regrets not releasing a range of umbrellas when Rihanna’s song was a worldwide hit in the Summer of 2007. “We really should have had some Rihanna Rocawear umbrellas when the song became a hit,” Hov says. “We could have made a load of money on those. I’m still kicking myself.”
He added: “The goal is to make Rocawear a $1 billion company. People want a quality product, which is what I want Rocawear to be known for – we make a damn good pair of jeans, that’s why people buy them.”
“‘Umbrella” was such a mega hit that fans started bringing umbrellas to Rihanna concerts to imitate the island beauty’s now-famous dance routine. However, umbrellas were eventually banned from her shows after audience members continually injured themselves.
