Hip hop superstar Flo Rida has been awarded close to $83 million by a Florida jury in his breach of contract lawsuit against energy drink Celsius who were found to have withheld payments to Flo Rida as part of the 2014 contract and improperly concealed related information, per reports.
Celsius allegedly “failed to notify” Flo Rida when the sales targets ($1 million in co-branded gross revenue during a 12-month period) were officially hit and allegedly decided not to pay “additional royalties” and stock options that were triggered by hitting certain sales benchmarks.
Additionally Flo Rida claimed, via a contract from 2016, to be owed a piece of the stateside income from “certain company products,” including cases of the drink’s Sparkling Orange variety and boxes of “powdered sticks.
