“Beats Solo 4 takes our bestselling headphone to the next level with outstanding performance upgrades, and the all-new Beats Solo Buds pack impressive power in our smallest product yet.”

In 2021, the American track star qualified for the Tokyo Olympics but was suspended from competing for a subsequent positive test of THC. Amidst the controversy, Beats featured her in an advertisement to launch its Beats Studio Buds. 

It prominently featured Kanye West, who not only scored and edited the Ad but also used it to premiere his song ‘No Child Left Behind’ and announce his album ‘DONDA’. The collaboration highlighted the campaign's stunning visuals and emotional depth.

Likewise in 2023, West showcased his inventive genius by incorporating Richardson’s phrase: “I’m ready mentally, physically, and emotionally, and I’m here to stay. I’m not bac,k I’m better" into his track ‘Vultures’ album.

Despite an unimpressive start to the 2024 season after back-to-back Diamond League losses, Richardson's visibility and influence off-track keep soaring as she has now either led campaigns or signed ambassadorial deals with multiple brands this year, which are SpriteWhoop, Android, Nike x Jacquemus, and Nike Air Max Dn launch.
