I Bet He Wouldn't Touch One of Those Energy-Drink-Cans For a WHILE, Till Now! 😜
Lemme Have Some of That Flo-Rida Free Money! 😜
Boots with the fur
I wouldn’t trust ppl who did me dirty get away from them once you get your cash
My last drawings were in 1999, no Flo Rida then. Since then I draw concocted characters, let him sue. How arrogant, really.
Well deserved
Dont worry 50% goes to legal fees and lawyers and then comes the tax man who takes his 30 to 40% cut. If lucky Flo Rida keeps 10-15m
The explanation on the bridge is not clear
He gonna pay child support now?
Advertising at its finest
Dang that he went broke off that rap money QUICK
Congrats brother. Just hope they don't stalk you via cyber security 😡🤬🤬🤬🤬
Protect this man. 1% headhunt is not beyond possibility
The justice system works for the rich, the only color that matters is green.
Never heard of him or the drink
Congrats Flooo Ridaa
Congratulations I used to love his music
I only buy Celsius bc of flo Rida
Good for him
What was the breach of contract?….
Mix some Celsius energy drink with some Polar seltzer water, and you have an excellent source of energy and staying hydrated
Invest in Celsius "now"
Lawyers typically charge a contingency fee for handling personal injury cases, which means that they receive a percentage of the settlement or award as their fee. The amount varies, but it is typically around 33% of the total settlement. In some cases, the fee may be less or more, depending on the complexity of the case and other factors. Additionally, some lawyers may charge additional expenses, such as court costs, which can add to the overall cost of the case.
There's also the issue of taxes so Flo Rida may end up with with roughly $30 million.
Drinking Celsius tears at the press conference 😀
That guy at the end was the whitest black man ive ever seen
The drinks work for me
He’s an influencer of illiterates and sub-culture.
Gained a new respect because he won, but good for him.
Who ever didn’t settled before getting to trial… IS FIRED!!!
Share the wealth….82 million…… can’t take it with ya. What about all the other 90% Americans that can’t afford lawyers and have had Agreements/contracts that are broke and not justified at all 🤔
Ah yes, only respects the judicial when money is being put into his pocket, but also screw large companies well worth it.
about time. these people think they can just use you. they played themselves
This is why businesses should not get mixed up with rappers. You might get sued!🤔🤣
Whenever I see examples of greasy business ethics I aways look to see if jews are involved. Looks like I'm right again.
Why are jews always trying to screw over rappers lol? Now wait and see if they go after him like they did Kanye.
He can but alot of apple bottom Jean's and boots with the furs. Mmmmmmmm..
So glad for Flo Rider!!
So much money 💰 for one person …unfathomable.
It wasn’t the Judicial System it was the Judge who did the Job how it was designed too do, without Prejudice! If the System could’ve had it their way you would’ve got $0
Congratulations Brother, now King On King🫡💰
