BallerStatus.com is proud to announce a partnership with Souleo Enterprises, Inc., in which will will begin to roll out exclusive viral content, via a pact with the company's CEO and celebrity entertainment journalist, Souleo.
Souleo, who has become the newest member of BallerStatus.com, will provide the website with in-depth Q&As, revealing narratives, and entertaining and personal on-camera interviews with the best and brightest in urban entertainment.
The partnership begins with the premiere of an online segment called "With Souleo...", where Souleo conducts on-camera celebrity interviews and covers industry events. He brings his energetic personality, wit, and fearless questions to the premiere episode filmed backstage at EMIs Showcase in NYC's BB King's, interviewing R&B singer Bobby Valentino and the fast-rising artist, Novel.
Both video segments will appear on BallerStatus.com by month's end.
Souleo got the real deal from Bobby Valentino on his sexuality, the half-naked photos that created a stir on the internet, and his hilarious message to all the haters that make fun of his height. In an intimate interview with Souleo, Novel opens up about his troubled upbringing, his difficult relationship with his father, why he hated the world as a teenager, and more.
Many interviews are to come.
"I'm very excited to partner with Ballerstatus.com. In today's technology driven world, we are seeing that new media is one of the most powerful forces to engage consumers," Souleo says. "I'm pleased to partner with a site that understands that reality and is dedicated to producing entertaining and substantive content with the consumer in mind."
