Flo Rida awarded $82.6 million after winning lawsuit

Rapper Flo Rida has been awarded $82.6 million after winning a lawsuit against energy drink company Celsius.

Flo Rida, whose real name is Tramar Dillard, and his production company, Strong Arm Productions, sued Celsius Holdings Inc. in May 2021, claiming that the company had violated the conditions of an endorsement deal that ran between 2014 and 2018.

On Wednesday, a South Florida jury found Celsius guilty of breaching the deal. The jury also found that the brand had fraudulently hidden information from Dillard.
