Rihanna is getting her money. The singer has inked
an unprecedented $25 million deal with Samsung to sponsor her upcoming
album and tour with the help of Jay Z. More after the cut...
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.
