Global Superstar Flo Rida Now Partnering With MusclePharm®.

DENVER, June 20, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- MusclePharm Corporation (OTCQB: MSLP), a nutritional supplement company focused on active lifestyles, has signed a deal with international recording artist Flo Rida.  Activating a social media network of over 16 million followers, Flo Rida will promote MusclePharm products and develop exclusive viral exercise videos for the brand. He also will represent MusclePharm at events and star in a series of radio and online ads. 

Flo Rida has built a fervent fan base by mixing hip-hop harmonies with slick dance beats, selling over 75 million singles worldwide. The innovative Florida-born rapper became a chart-topping artist fixture with blockbuster singles such as "Right Round" and "Wild Ones (feat. Sia)." Flo Rida is committed to imparting the importance of education to children and empowering student athletes to become leaders both on and off the field through his non-profit organizations, Big Dreams for Kids and the Florida Youth Football League (FYFL).

"Ever since I was growing up, health, nutrition and fitness have been very important aspects of my life," said Flo Rida. "I started using MusclePharm supplements because of the company's commitment to developing safe, scientifically backed products. Right away I noticed a positive improvement with my energy and fitness levels.  I'm very excited to join the MusclePharm family and look forward to promoting the brand to my fans."

"As one of today's most popular musicians, Flo Rida is a global force who is at the top of his field because he is dedicated not only to his music but also to his physical well-being," said Brad Pyatt, founder and CEO, MusclePharm. "Flo Rida's international influence coupled with his amazing physique make him an ideal ambassador. We're thrilled to have him represent the MusclePharm brand."

As part of their agreement, MusclePharm will make a donation to Flo Rida's charity, the FYFL, and gift new sports equipment to the league. MusclePharm and Flo Rida will celebrate the partnership at the customer appreciation day next month which will be taking place at Flo Rida's new South Florida gym, Flo Fit (12425 Taft Street, Pembroke Pines, FL 33028). The musician and philanthropist joins fellow MusclePharm brand ambassador, quarterback Colin Kaepernick of the NFL® San Francisco 49ers, who partnered with the company earlier this year.  Additionally, MusclePharm is the official Nutritional Supplement provider of the Ultimate Fighting Championship®.
