The way Lil Wayne is promoting his new Twitter account one might suspect that the heads of Twitter are paying him a hefty sum for the publicity. In just a week since Lil Wayne created his new “verified” account under the name LilTuneChi, over 200,000 fans have already signed up boosting overall Twitter traffic for the social media company and garnering millions of dollars in free publicity impressions.
Both Lil Wayne and Twitter reps have not mentioned any profit sharing deal but it would not be anything new for Twitter to hire celebs. Back in August of 2009, rumors were running wild that Diddy was close to signing an advisory role with Twitter to help promote the company and increase traffic. The rumors were later confirmed when Diddy officially turned the role down. In regards to Lil Wayne, his upcoming stint to prison would be the perfect marketing opportunity for Twitter to cash in on. Check the video to see how hard Lil Wayne continues to push Twitter and even Twitter t-shirts and decide for yourself.
