*Rapper Flo Rida won a multi-million dollar lawsuit against Celsius energy drinks after a Florida jury awarded him $82.6 million in damages in January.
So how does he intend to spend the money?
“I’m all about giving, you know, giving is required so I look forward to taking care of the neighborhood,” he said while on the Grammys red carpet on Sunday, ET Online reports.
As Today reports, Celsius was found guilty of breaching an endorsement deal with the artist whose legal name is Tramar Dillard.

Rida was hired as an ambassador for the drink in 2014 and ultimately sued the company over stock that he was promised but never received. The hip-hop star promoted the brand’s drinks for years but claims he was not properly compensated.
In his statement, Flo said he was “instrumental in the Celsius that you know and love today.”
“This was a long journey, but we prevailed. From the start, I only wanted what I worked for, nothing more, nothing less,” he said in a statement.
“When this journey began, no one knew Celsius. I took Celsius all over the world through my videos, concerts, appearances, and social media,” the hip-hop star continued, noting that he has a “new respect for the judicial system.”
Speaking about the lawsuit at the Grammys over the weekend, Flo Rida, “They didn’t want to give me my just due, but thanks to the judicial system… I’m just overwhelmed and just excited about new ventures as well.”
