Fit Pay, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of NXT-ID, Inc. (NASDAQ: NXTD), today announced a co-marketing agreement with rapper, record producer and entrepreneur Wesley Eric Weston, Jr., better known as Lil’ Flip aka ‘Flip Gate$’. Under the agreement, Lil’ Flip and FitPay will collaborate to market a contactless payment device that allows Bitcoin holders to make contactless payments in millions of retail locations with value exchanged from their cryptocurrency. The device, which will include artwork designed by Lil’ Flip and carry his branding, leverages the FitPay® Bitcoin Exchange and payment Token Requestor platforms.
“I’ve always been ahead of my time. This move was planned 10 years ago. I’m a calculated mastermind. I pattern my biz moves after greats like J.Prince, Warren Buffet, Jay-Z and Bill Gates. That’s why my nickname is Flip Gate$ and don’t forget the dollar sign. Checkmate!!!!! #KINGLIFE,” said Lil’ Flip. “Great to work with a company like FitPay that is forward thinking and shares my vision.”
“I’ve got my own cryptocurrency but that sh#t aint dropped yet”

The artwork on the device will be designed by Lil’ Flip and reflect his branding.
