Rihanna Scores $25 Million Sponsorship Deal with Samsung

 

Rihanna is getting her money. The singer has inked an unprecedented $25 million deal with Samsung to sponsor her upcoming album and tour. According to the New York Post, the Rihanna deal was seven months in the making and took longer than expected because Rihanna made some last-minute changes to her album Anti.

Jay Z and Rihanna’s manager Jay Brown helped close the deal. Jay Z was pictured leaving the Samsung offices earlier this month, prompting rumors that he was selling TIDAL, but he was reportedly there to discuss the Rihanna partnership.

Samsung plans to use Rihanna to help promote its Galaxy line of products and wants exclusive use of Rihanna-related video content for its Milk Music app. Roc Nation has a long and profitable history with Samsung. In 2013, the South Korean electronics giant bought 1 million copies of Jay Z’s album Magna Carta… Holy Grail and distributed them for free via its Galaxy devices. Rihanna has yet to announce an official release date for her eighth album Anti, but it is expected to arrive before the end of the year.

Rihanna makes history again as voice of “Tip” in 3-D film “Home”

Rihanna is a pop star of many firsts. The first woman to be featured on the cover of GQ’s “Men of the Year” issue in 2012, the most streamed female artist in the world on Spotify, and potentially the first black woman to be the face of Christian Dior.

Now, she is making history again with DreamWorks Animation for playing the voice of the first black lead of a 3-D animated film.

Bad Girl Riri” plays Gratuity “Tip” Tucci, a savvy curly-haired youngster who survives an alien abduction, in “Home.” The film hits theaters on March 27 and includes the voices of Jennifer Lopez, Steve Martin, and Jim Parsons. 

As a performer, Rihanna is constantly breaking barriers, but her role in “Home” may be momentous for DreamWorks Animation considering the billion dollar company premiered its first 2-D animation “The Prince of Egypt” in 1998 and boasts a portfolio of 30 blockbuster films. Historically, the studio is known to be strikingly more diverse and dynamic than its competitors, such as Disney.

“Tip” is the company’s third female protagonist and their film “Kung Fu Panda 2,” directed by Korean-American Jennifer Yuh Nelson, was a smashing hit in the U.S. China, South East Asia.
