Flo Rida – Zoosk Girl ft. T-Pain
Off the upcoming Flo Rida album The Only One.
Wow, this goes way beyond a product placement, it's an outright ad pretending to be a music video. And I do not believe the Zoosk site's backstory for this video, not one bit:
""Flo Rida was in the studio with Pain doing a song called "I'm Dancin", which is featured on T-Pain's next album", said Poe Boy Music Group CEO Elrin "E-Class" Prince. "One of T-Pain's boys, Tay Dizm, was talking about how he met some fine girl on Zoosk. He was talking all kind of mess about how good she looked and that she actually had good credit. T-Pain responded from the booth and was like "I need me a Zoosk Girl". The jokes then turned into a song and it went from there.""
On the upside, that makes the pr claim that "Bree Olson Stars in New Flo Rida/T Pain Music Video "Zoosk Girl"" not quite so annoying, even though she only appears in brief flashes and other women in the video are clearly the featured models.
Bad looks all around, y'all! I wish I could say that if you learn to promote without cynicism and lies, you'll go a lot further but, sadly, we know that is not necessarily the case.

Bree Olson Stars in New Flo Rida/T Pain Music Video "Zoosk Girl"
one of the press releases entitled “the story behind zoosk girl” says that the kluger agency worked on the deal so i wouldnt doubt zoosk ended up having to pay for it even if it was coincidentally brought up in the studio
They could have come up with the idea and then taken it to Zoosk but I don’t believe for one second they were going to release that without getting paid.
It’s just too thoroughly packaged and timed to be a believable story.
It’s even more obvious than Jay-Z bs about Armand Champagne. Which was obviously a lie.
