R&B singer Teairra Mari premiered the video for new single ‘Sponsor’ a few moments ago exclusively on World Star Hip-Hop. Check out the Yolande Geralds directed clip above…
Put simply; the video pretty much serves its purpose. Though perhaps not as glossy as I imagined based on the stills and the behind the scenes footage, the clip is good enough to assist the song’s ascent up the charts. Here’s hoping it does just that, as the song is fire on a track!
Tidbit: The only minor gripe I have with the video is that Gucci Mane’s rap is still included. With him not featuring in the video due his incarceration, it kinda just ate up time.

this song is good for what the subject matter is : / and them shiny over sized bacon bits on that gymnastics outfit did her no justice with all that horrible dancing but like i said.. this song is good for the subject matter so it will do something

i like the track better than the video. This video had real potential, and I’m surprised they didn’t run with it. I always imagined T. Marie singing this song dressed up in athletic gear. Like in one scene, she’s in a sexy track suit dressed as an olympic sprinter. The next scene, she’s a gymnast, or a tennis player in the next scene singing, “I got myself a sponsor . . .” You know, it could’ve been really silly.
Nivea and Tearria Marie dropping albums this year. So excited!

Cute! She deserves this little hit, especially since she was dropped from the Roc without so much as a bye from Jay-Z.

If homegirl had her own credit card in the first place she’d have no need for a “sponsor”. Sit down. Song + vid is wack, watch it flop harder than her last 2, 3, 4 singles.

“If u tryna git it theres some work to come wit it”
^That line pretty much sums up the whole track. ‘HOE’ is written all over it.

Lord have mercy what is this mess. T. Mari needs to come correct if she wanted to be taken seriously in this business. This song is whack, this girl came sing better than this and I don’t know why she’s not using her voice instead of this mess here. I guess you have to do what’s popular to get notice I guess, but this is not it. Sorry people. Not feeling this because I know she can do better than this.

Well I love the song and the video is just as nice. Yea so maybe the dancing in the beginning was a lil…off…but she looked GREAT and I can see the video doing the song justice. Like people said before..its up to the label to put promo into her and the song in order for it to be a hit. I’m really rootin for this girl.

I hate this song! The song sounds terrible and the message is awful as well. I was never a Teairra Mari fan, and from the looks of it I probably will never be a fan. When I first heard this song, I thought it was Keri Hilson, but when I listened to the lyrics I knew Keri wouldn’t write this BS. Smh. Well good luck to her anyway.

@ Everyone blasting the message of the song and saying it’s a HOE song. You all really should take a look at some other songs, too. It’s not that serious.
Beyonce says “Record me on your video phone”
Rihanna says “Can you get it up? Iz u big enough?”
Gaga says “I wanna take a ride on your disco stick”
Ke$ha say “Don’t be a little B*tch with you chit chat just show me where your d*cks at”
Tierra Marie says “My man he goes and bu bu buy buy…“If u tryna git it theres some work to come wit it”
Come on now it’s not THAT serious……

THANK YOU! People know damn well if their favorite artist was singing this song, they would be calling it “Epic”, “Great” and everything else. But since Teairra sings it, its a hoe song. Hypocrite much?

we’re not saying showing sexuality in a song is bad , or hoe-ish. we’re saying a woman that cannot supply her own needs cuz she thinks she too damn pretty to get a job, is a bad influence on young girls today. girls dont need a sponser to hook them up. they can do bad by themselves!
besides love game >>>>>> sponser. the beat is out of this world, whereas sponspr sounds so 2005 lol. and lady gaga’s lyrics are deeper than just sex. u just gotta listen harder ;]

if gold digging is not what this is about then they need to make the message a little clearer. I’m disgusted really. I myself am an independent women and I dont expect a man to pay for what i’m responsible for but if he does i’m appreciative and if hes gentlemen enough to go beyond that then I am even more grateful. But this dosen’t sound like that this sounds like a gold diggers anthem. Its a bad message for young women and dosen’t reflect a grown women’s lifestyle.
