Rihanna Signs $25 Million Deal With Samsung

Rihanna inks a $25 million deal with Samsung
to sponsor her upcoming album.

As if you needed further proof that Rihanna is
killing it on all cylinders, the unstoppable
femme fatale has just signed a $25 million deal
with Samsung, reports New York Post . For
those keeping track, that's $6 M's more than
Drake's rumored deal with Apple Music.
Rihanna and Samsung have apparently been
working on the deal for 7 months. The deal will
reportedly sponsor Rihanna's upcoming album,
Anti , as well as the tour that follows. Samsung,
in turn, is looking for Rihanna to help promote
the company's new line of Galaxy products as
well as its new music streaming service, Milk
Music, which will presumably gain some sort of
exclusivity to the music off Anti .
Rihanna is currently signed to the management
wing of Roc Nation, and reports say that Jay Z
was instrumental in helping work out RiRi's new
deal with Samsung. There seems to be a
conflict of interest between TIDAL and Milk
Music -- with regard to each platform's access
to Anti , but Jay Z and Samsung have worked
extensively in the past.
The disclosure of Rihanna's deal comes at the
same time as a rumored deal between Apple
Music and Adele for an even bigger amount --
$30 million for her upcoming album. If this is all
true, congrats to both women. Rihanna wasn't
lying with "Bitch Better Have My Money."
