Teairra Mari premieres “Sponsor” music video

My girl Teairra Mari dropped the video for her new single “Sponsor” featuring Gucci Mane and Soulja Boy today.

The clip looks surprisingly sleek and polished, but it still has that ton hint of trashiness that you’d want from a ghetto gold digging anthem featuring Soulja Boy. There’s also a cute twist at the end in which Tea-Tea touches an Amex Black Card for the first time in her life and reveals that she’s actually her own “Sponsor”.

So far Sponsor is the biggest hit from Tea-Tea’s upcoming sophomore album At That Point, recently reaching a lofty #52 on the R&B/Hip-Hop singles chart. Hopefully the video can get put into heavy rotation on BET and VH1 and then climb to the top of the urban charts where Tea-Tea belongs!

    why’d u spoil the video!!!

  2. sunshyne84 Says:

    Oh yea I forgot Vanessa Simmons was in the video too with the short hair. If someone wouldn’t have mentioned it earlier I wouldn’t have recognized her.

  3. JohnnyS Says:

    i think its cute for her. And she looks damn good. I hate Soulja Boy. ugh. But it is a ghetto/groupie anthem.

  4. Dsabadmofo Says:

    That part when she’s standing in front of some light in the gold dress reminded me of Beyonce’s “Freakum Dress” video.

  5. Jeff (MusicBizStudent) Says:

    is that the same mansion from Lady GaGa’s “Poker Face” the dance scene? I couldn’t really see it cuz for some reason my computers not playing videos…but from the shotty clips it reminded me of the blue bathing suit dance part in PF

    Sorry Sunshyne!

  9. sam Says:

    love it!!!

  10. The Prophet Says:

    @Bajanyout

    I love Keri but Teairra has a stronger voice than her. Tea-Tea is a good singer.

  11. Mike Says:

    What a joke! Tea Tea couldn’t afford a tent with the royalties from her music – let alone that mansion.

    EPIC FAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  12. bajanyout Says:

    @Prophet..i like this song and the other singles before, yes she has a stronger voice but im not convinced that’s a good thing..esp live, it comes over a bit harsh at times, she just needs to work on control now..n the auto tune..uhhhhh

  13. KingBeaArthur Says:

    Proph, um, spoiler much??

    I like the song [minus Soulja Boy's attempt at rapping]. This mansion gets around; I’ve even seen it in porn

  14. AalexisR (The Bahamas) Says:

  15. marymag Says:

  16. divatude Says:

    love the song and the video

  17. Sean R Says:

    YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!….I love Teairra Mari, and really wish this album comes out

  18. The Prophet Says:

    Well I did say “there is a nice twist” before actually giving the twist away, so you have time to avert your eyes!

  19. bs Says:

    she just needs to sit down and dream she has rihanna career

  20. Lupe Says:

    Im seeing Nicki Minaj inspired facial expressions!
    I like….

  21. CONVERSATION CHAMBER Says:

    Did you say hopefully it’ll get heavy rotation on VH-1?!

  22. Teyana Says:

    OMG, there are some haters on Teairra. No she may not be as big as Rihanna or them other chicks but she is trying and I respect her for that, so if u don’t like her or want to continue to hate go somewhere else but the girl is doing the damn thing. Sponsor is actually getting a lot of airplay in the Urban world, Im so happy for it because this means her album will be out this spring, which I know will be the bizness. Also, I loved the video thought Tea-tea is getting better at her dancing and it was sexy, U already know this video will get airplay on 106 & Park and dats all that really matters for Teairra, Im proud of her.

  23. The Prophet Says:

    Co-sign Teyana!

    And I thought VH1 still played music videos!

  24. Liam Says:

    I loved the video and I loved everything I heard so far! She’s getting better with her dancing and I think she can place in the urban world cause she knows how to bring it! What her label needs to do is get her gigs on shows and do a couple interviews cause people need to see her and see she is comin out cause everyone don’t go on the internet smh! Cause a scene could’ve been so big if there was promo smh! Let’s hope they get it together for this song

  25. pdot Says:

    i neva knew teairra mari could be so flexible she did the split hott shawwty…

  26. MushyLove_1992 Says:

    Go Tea-Tea! Love the song, but SouljaBoy was a all around HOT MESS!

  27. samm Says:

    Tea-Tea is doing her THANG! She can move. This song should have blown up already, hope the video does it for her. I don’t see any trashyness in the video, but thats just me. I think she deserves this :D

  28. Rob Says:

    I love this song and she looked good I hope it does well.

  29. BAM. Says:

    Cute song minus Gucci Mane part and Soulja boys ughh she could’ve did this song on her own. She’s kinda putting her brokenness on blast dont cha think lol sponsor help people in need lmao . I like Teairra Mari but those white heels were looking a little dirty smh.

  30. marymag Says:

    vh1 plays music videos? since when?? the last video-related thing they had was the top 20 countdown and they barely play that anymore

  31. LAKEE Says:

    Boring. Mostly because she spends the entire video trying to convince us that she’s sexy. The song is a cute tongue-in-cheek pop song. JUST BE CUTE! It’s not a sexy song. Doesn’t work.

  32. prince Says:

    She came out at the same time Rihanna did and Rihanna out shined her. I hope that does not happen again cause, she’s really good her first album was blazin’.

  33. The Prophet Says:

    I loved her first album to. I bought it (and Rihannas first three) all on the legal and Tea-Tea’s def shitted on the first two.

    All the leaks from At That Point have been amazing to. I heard more tracks when she did a listening party on her ustream and they were all amazing.

  34. Real Talk Says:

    The sponsor vid is hot. The song is def a smash. Also, the song could top the urban charts. The leaks from At That Point have been good as well and I can’t wait for the album. As far as, the Rihanna thing goes, she will never be her but she will be a star in own right. Just needs to keep the right team behind her and she will go far. Maybe she be bigger than Rihanna if she play her cards rights. Due time. follow me on twitter.com/BeenSoGone
