Just weeks after Soulja Boy announced he had inked a $400 million deal, World Poker Fund Holdings has come forth to confirm the blockbuster agreement that everyone was wondering about.
According to a press release, the publicly traded gaming company has partnered with the “Superman” MC for a five-year, nine-figure endorsement contract. Officials say they plan to promote the company’s online services through Soulja Boy’s social media accounts, which boast more than 15 million followers. It’s a trend that is becoming increasingly popular, as more and more businesses are shelving conventional advertising methods in favor of celebrities' social media posts.
“The world of marketing is changing, today’s biggest influencers are not brands, but individuals who create content that drive loyalty and brand sentiment,” WPFH’s spokesperson Matthew Bird said in the press release. “Soulja Boy represents the best of the best and we are already seeing the impact from his presence.”
