Bankruptcy claims right around the corner
Oh wow ! What a accomplishment. Begs for money and gets it .
This explained nothing..
So I’m assuming he didnt actually get those 250k shares? Cause I for one haven’t heard of Celsius til today and never seen him with a can or commercia til today…
By belief, so choose to believe in Yeshua because Yeshua is the son of God who died and rose three days later and loves all of you. He took God’s wrath upon Himself, that was the punishment for everyone in sin. He died for everyone and wants you with Him, to know Him and live for His glory. Come by belief and be saved, receive eternal life and spend time with Him to know Him. Attend a church and read scripture.
Be saved, free, forgiven, healed, delivered, baptized, whole and let Him show you how He is everything you need. He alone satisfies.
We are to live righteous and Holy because He said to and paid for our way to live like Him. Ask anything in His name and the Father will do it amen hallelujah praise God thank you Jesus .
I lift up everyone’s prayers, wants and needs to You Jesus, please pour out blessings. May Your favor and mercy be upon the world. In Jesus name come help us all. You know our needs and everything else about each of us. In Jesus name amen thank you Jesus praise God 🙏
Jesus, Help people to be rooted and grounded in Your love and to obey Your truth. That they are living in the truth being taught by You. That they know Your voice and word. Knowing truth from errors, discernment. 💕
We are to live ive righteous, doing the right thing always and living in obedience to scripture, every word of it.
We are ambassadors of Christ. We represent God, when we are seen Jesus should be seen, His ways not ours. We should be living for and showing God, living for His glory. We are to be an example of Yeshua, for the world to see Him and want to know Him and know Him more. 🙏 🔥
2 Chronicles 7:14 says, if My people humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways I will hear them from heaven and heal their land. 🙏 💖
People need to turn from their wicked ways, Jesus paid for it. That’s God stating it in that verse and there are more verses. People need to repent, to be cleansed by His blood and live Holy because He’s Holy and righteous because He’s righteous. Our God said to stop sinning in many many scriptures and He paid for everyone to be cleansed of sin (Isaiah 53), and to live how He said. He dwells in the Holy temple (your body) and said not to defile the temple. He said to defile the temple is death. He’s always serious about everything He said to do. He’s just as serious about what He said not to do.
We live in obedience to His law, every word of it! He dwells within us all to be with and lead us in His ways. 💕🙏🔥 🕊️
Deuteronomy 28 there are blessings for obedience and curses for disobedience. The whole chapter, and verse 46 is one example of generational curses. These go into the following generations, the 3 and 4th. Our children pay the price for our sin.
God has said to stop sinning. Scripture says how you are sending consequences to yourself and to your loved ones, children. By God’s law you are. If you don’t believe me ask Him, in Jesus name may you see and know the truth in its fullness. Love your neighbor as you love yourself.
Jesus is worthy of everything He said and paid for, so I implore you to do as God said.
Yeshua said If you love Me you will obey My commands. Love Him with all your heart, mind, soul and strength.💖🙏🕊️🔥 Praise God so Awesome!! Hallelujah Yeshua 🙏
God loves all of you and you are worthy to Him, Yeshua died for all because God loves everyone. Come know Him, Yeshua call upon Him 💕 the world knows Him as Jesus, He answers 💕
Thank You, Yeshua for Your obedience and love, even unto Your death You obeyed the Father 🙏 Hallelujah Praise the Lord God Almighty 💕 In Yeshua’s mighty name 🙏🔥💖🕊️
God is always faithfully Himself and so awesome. Every way He said He would be in scripture He is, every day ages and ages of Him never changing. Hallelujah Yeshua Praise the Lord God Almighty 🙏🕊️🔥💖
Seek God to know Him and read scripture obeying it all. Life is truly better with Him and we all need Him 💕 He always comes through, remember from your life and from scripture. Obey and know God and watch life change.
Meanwhile army LTs who get assaulted by cops get 3000 bucks. Have money to make money, I guess 👏
W
Why did iit take so long?
is he actually going to see that money?
This video explains almost nothing
I have no idea who he is and I knew Celsius from going to my local gas station. Good for him tho 82 is a great number when it’s a billion dollars
Im going to make spicy ginseng energy drinks and call it farenheight
Wowwww good for him. Celsius makes my stomach hurt so bad.
He’s never gonna get it
They gonna have to sell a few more cans to get him paid.
Getto lottery
Hi Hater
Imagine entering into a deal when Flo Rida was hot and having to pay 82 million years after he is even relevant. They should have just paid him the money they owed initially.
Celsius and who?
Yeah, he was a real influencer. Ppffftt. I found Celsius on vacation in Gulf Shores because of zero sugar and using sucralose sweetener (I’m diabetic). And just a few months ago, THE most influential influencer of all time – Brodie the Dood – oh, and Bryce his people, are teamed up with Celsius. Old rapper (2014 is freaking ancient) vs cute Goldendoodle. Hmm. Now which one has more sway?
A contract is a contract
I only heard of this drink because this video popped up in my feed today. He didn’t do a very good job promoting it.
If it had been a person working from pay check to pay check the company wouldn’t have not lost the case !
Now that he can afford it, surely he’ll take the opportunity to pay Ke$ha what she’s due for her work, and right that wrong, just as he wanted for himself! Surely! Right?! 🤔🧐
Winning a verdict as high as 82million dollars 💲💲💸💸 in the US may take 82million years for you to be paid out…!! Good 😊😳😋 luck with collecting FLO
Hope he finally takes care of his special needs child medical bills.
Get yo money mannn! lemme hold a milly
It would be nice if there was a voice next time
Reading on video is tiring
Big Boy Bag
82 million and still promoting, no hater
Who and what!?
“Florida Man sues Florida”
They gonna appeal
If zero advertising was done for merchandise would people still sue each other .
Wait a second, something’s fishy here. 🤔
Why is there no audio? I watch YouTube to watch and listen to a video. If I wanted to read an article I’d do that instead.
82 million??!?!? 😮 that’s insane 😮
O yeah … now share the money with us ….
I’ve never heard of him. But the drink is terrible. Can’t stand any of the flavors.
Sip stupid.
He helped it’s success? I never even heard of him and black people ain’t buying that expensive stuff.
Dude Flo Rida finagled the crap out of this drink company. Tried it. Never had a thought or clue he was associated with it lmao 🥲
Give me Some 😂😂😂
What he worked for, lol smh. This is what’s wrong with this world. Sure hope he shares a giant chunk of that money with the oppressed, abused, homeless instead of more jewelry, high priced cars, parties, women, drugs and alcohol stupidity.
The company has net worth of 7.78 Billion as of 2022. So paying Flo Rida is not impossible. But we all know its not as easy as it seems.
Scammer
Played themselves. If flo-rida promoted an energy drink I would buy it, Nuffield said. This dude created the anthem to my club days. They are crazy.
I never heard of him promoting this
0 real details. Complete waste of time. So did he receive 250k shares or no?
Keep GOD FIRST on this Major Victory. Tithe and remember others.Blessings and Peace to you.❤
Neggus never work because they feel the world owes them something.
The next thing you know they will occupy and desecrate a government structure while assaulting and attempting to murder folks while… My bad, wrong group.
I’m so happy for him.
A deal is a deal, but 82 million dollars is still a gross sum of money I hope he enjoys it but also does some good with it also
I never even heard this dude was promoting this lmao
Happy for him
I’m gonna be honest here I’ve never seen Flo in a Celsius ad…
Florida spells Flo Rida…lol
Influencer of the undesirables.
Good for him 💯
But to be honest, i got to know about Celsius through @dailydrivenexotics 🔥
Still promoting it so he can protect his shares
So when does the state of Florida sue FloRida for stealing their name and likeness. Also never heard of Celsius. Also why is given money after the contract was over? Strange. Lesson to be learned… don’t deal with the certain protected class that seems to win every court case because they simply are the “reparations class”. Like St Floyd and St arbury.
Sure I drink Celsius because some has been from 15 or more years ago. Promoted it, if you got some money and the right lawyers you can win anything in ‘Mercia
Energy drinks are bad for the human body, sadly. The best energy drink is water and a good night’s sleep, I’ve been told.
The poor little rapper…
Apple bottom win
I’m glad to hear this. It’s just another instance that proves that this country’s success rests on the backs of blacks. Everytime they want to sell something, they use us to promote it and then either offer us pennies or no pay at all. I guess they didn’t get the memo that slavery is over. Now winning is one thing, actually getting the money is a whole other monster!
Oh wow
Didn’t he already received 250 000 stocks? Wasn’t that the compensation?
Artic vibes taste baddd. Prob the worst flavor im9
Celsius doesn’t have that kind of money to pay
Bro secured the 💼
Fun fact he doesn’t curse in his music and kept his promises to his mother after the success he’s a gangsta and a gentleman
Imagine holding a drink can , claiming you are owed 82 million dollars, and saying it’s because you worked for it. Blacks are something else.
Good for him.
Yea guy works real hard for that 82 million , never heard of this drink or seen flo with a can. Nurses are weeping at his hardship!
Lol, another broke rapper lookin for money and he definitely found some if its paid out to him.
I have no clue who this dude is never heard of him but heard and love Celsius- ego much?
They did pay him and sounds like he got greedy?
Had no idea he even promoted it lol
THIS WORLD IS SHUTTING DOWN. HALLELUJAH!
ONLY WHAT YOU DO FOR CHRIST WILL LAST! 🙏🏼🙌🏼👏🏼❤️
St John 3:16! ❤️
BLACK MAN WINNING!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Wow that story explains so much…… not
He make more now then he made in hip hop wasn’t that famous 😂
Tease.
It sounds like the company tried to buy out his shares at the price they gave them to him form the sponsership. The problem is that the whole hard seltzer industry blew tf up in like 2020. So now the value of these shares probably went up like 10 fold.
Remember when Alex Jones was ordered to pay like a billion dollars? 🤣
Never heard of this rapper this is such a big story for the black people to eat up like bacon 🥓🥓🥓🥓
Don’t let the corporate effers push you around. Fortunately he could afford the legal team to do so.
82 million is crazy , then he throwing it in their face by bringing the drink to court 😭😂
🫡 ✊🏾
Not enough detail from this video but very impressive he won.
Never even new he endorsed it lol I first heard about Celsius from Jonah Hill in a GQ video
💰💰💰
He is still a owner in the company even after winning the law suit so he will get more then 80 mill i no it makes u haters mad 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lol who did he advertise to
He probably won’t get all of it,but then again it’s more about sending a message than actually getting $82 million. They cheated on a deal,they should face some accountability
Flo Rida now looks like Flow Rider
I didn’t even know he endorsed them. He can’t be THAT BIG of a reason for their success
I’ma buy some at Costco
He’s still hot 🥵 good for FloRida!
Did he need 82 million?
Rapper? What is that a person that can’t rap their head around the violence? The police officers are investigating rappers.
Wow!!!
