Rapper Soulja Boy has signed a USD 400 million deal with bosses at World Poker Fund Holdings (WPFH).
The "Crank That" hitmaker first revealed his big pay day last month on Twitter, but didn't reveal any details.
"USD 400 million deal confirmed. I still they think they low balled me though. I was thinking 2 or 3 billion," he wrote.
Now the 25-year-old has announced the lucrative partnership is with a leading online poker platform.
As part of the five-year deal, the star will promote the company's various properties through his Twitter profiles.
"I invest in things I understand. I enjoy music, and of course gaming. Being an influencer is a form of currency. Having portfolio diversification is critical if you want to be an effective brand ambassador. With regards to World Poker Fund, I believe in its strategy, its team, the vision, and management's ability to target its financial goals," Soulja Boy said.
