US Rapper Flo Rida wins $82.6 million in compensation after suing Celsius energy drinks company

Rapper and singer Flo Rida was awarded $82.6 million following a breach of contract claim against the makers of Celsius energy drinks.

Flo Rida was a brand ambassador for Celsius from 2014 to 2018. He argued that the partnership helped Celsius to grow its product portfolio, which a new product line called Celsius Heat in conjunction with Flo Rida’s partnership.

Flo Rida and his production company, Strong Arm Productions, had sued Celsius Holdings Inc. claiming that the company had violated the conditions of an endorsement deal.

Celsius had argued that the company reached its greatest success after the Flo Rida endorsement deal ended — and that other business decisions led to increased sales and stock value.

Flo Rida said he continues to drink Celsius products and even owns some stock in the company. He said he’d like to move on from the legal battle and work with the company again in the future.
