Crossover marketing appeal has always been a part of the modern music game. Others came before, but Michael Jackson wrote the blueprint for jumping off the stage and into people’s TVs. Others have tried to pick up that gauntlet, hawking just about anything you can imagine from major market products to their own clothing lines to a series of new diva-inspired perfume lines.
But some performers prefer to keep their love — and their marketing efforts — relatively local and connected with what they love. Consider Pitbull. The hip-hop artist recently went public with his million-dollar contract with Florida’s tourism marketing agency, in support of its Visit Florida campaign. It appeared voluntary and celebratory, but there was a darker motivation to the issue.
Pitbull had been sued by Florida House Speaker Richard Corcoran, seeking the inner details of the agreement that enticed Pitbull to film his video for “Sexy Beaches” in the Sunshine State. In the first tilt between Corcoran and Visit Florida, the tourism agency told Corcoran to go suck on a citrus sipper, arguing that the details of the contract were a trade secret. Corcoran, who has a large amount of political capital at his back, pushed more, arguing that Floridians had a right to know how Florida spent its money.
Corcoran expressed regret that it took legal threats to get the information he wanted. “It is unfortunate that it took litigation to lift the veil of secrecy on this particular contract… This was a long unnecessary journey through claims of trade secrets, threats of prosecution, and corporate welfare paid for by taxpayers.”
Turns out, the outrage crossed political aisles. Florida House Democratic Leader Janet Cruz told the Associated Press she was furious about the deal. “The state watches every pen that I buy. We’re subject to approval for everything that we buy in our state office… Yet these guys have the audacity and the arrogance to think that they could spend a million dollars on talent and not have to disclose it.”
Cruz also objected to the content of the video, where the rapper sang about … what rappers tend to sing about that gets politicians wringing their hands.
Pitbull’s camp offered no public comment other than the tweet, which simply revealed the contract, and Visit Florida didn’t want to speak to the media about this issue either. But it will be voters and fans who get the last comment on this ongoing set-to in the Sunshine.

The Pope may be infallible, but that won’t stop developer Elie Hirschfeld – who met with the pontiff in Rome last month – from endorsing Donald Trump as the next president of the United States of America.Pope Francis recently drew Donald’s ire when he said during a trip to Mexico that the GOP candidate’s plan to build a wall on the southern border is “not Christian.” Trump fired back, naturally, saying he envisioned ISIS descending on the Vatican in the near future, adding that the Pope would have “wished and prayed” that he was president if the day comes.Hirschfeld, who considers both the real estate mogul and his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton's personal friends, said Trump’s track record of the building makes him perfect for the job of president.“Simply, there’s no more rough-and tumble-game than making it in New York City real estate and the Donald is best equipped to make it happen,” Hirschfeld wrote announcing the endorsement.
“Trump is a giant and I would invest with him anytime, and this country would be well-served by having this man as President of the United States.”The real estate mogul, whose company was behind such buildings as the Hotel Pennsylvania and the Manhattan Mall, recently visited the Pope at the Vatican.“I was a handshake away from him,” he said, describing a wordless interaction with the Pope, who he said exuded a sense of calm, warmth, and graciousness.Back in the 1980s, Hirschfeld was Trump’s business partner on his mega development known as Penn Yards on the Upper West Side, now called Riverside Boulevard.Meanwhile, the Clintons are known to vacation at Hirschfeld’s eight-bedroom mansion in East Hampton.
They stayed there in 2011 and 2012 but reportedly changed their plans following a dispute over security.Hirschfeld said he maintains a personal relationship with both Clinton and Trump, but in the end gives the Donald the nod for the big job.
