Another stupid move by Samsung.
Rihanna is nowhere near as popular as she used to be, there's literally no way they'll recoup that $25. Seriously

I just cackled like a banshee

She will easily recoup that.

She could make 25 million with like a month of touring.

Delusional

Yea right, Samsung went blindly for that deal. Poor them!!

i think you meant

RELEASE ANTI

why wouldn't she be able too, even from her three flop singles this year she has made bank...

If this deal increases Galaxy line sales for as little as 2% they will recoup that money.

I mean, that kind of money and more gains was EASILY made after Dior and Puma posted their respective increases post-Rihanna backing.

Yeah they wouldn't be doing this if it was going to lose money. They've definitely been careful

Nope...somebody got double that amount for their album & tour.

Her tour alone will gross well over $25M and more than likely hit $150M.

Her album and single sales will be low, but Samsung is looking for her streaming power (see: they're trying to promote their streaming platform) and would most likely have spent the money on TV advertising anyway. They're trying to promote their new products, not just get royalties from Rihanna's new project.

They'll both end up winning from the partnership

How though? If she can't sell $0.99 singles (anymore) how on earth will she push $700 smartphones?
Anyway, that's Samsung's loss, not mine.

omg, COMING FOR Adele her wig
