LOS ANGELES, Nov. 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Brazilian soccer phenomenon Neymar Jr. is inviting his fans to join him on viral entertainment platform, Triller. In a surprise video today, Neymar Jr. appeared with global icon, Marshmello announcing his platform switch. While the athlete has attracted over 8 million followers on TikTok, Neymar Jr. will be leaving the platform entirely and asking his fans to do the same. As a Triller ambassador, Neymar Jr. will upload new and exciting content exclusively to Triller bringing his 143M Instagram followers to the Triller app.

Since then, Neymar Jr. has been named the South American Footballer of the Year twice. Having amassed a following of over 200 million across social media, he is undoubtedly one of the world’s most famous athletes, leading to his inclusion on the Time’s 100 Most Influential People in the World list. Neymar Jr. plays for the Brazilian national team and is currently in a contract with the French football club, Paris Saint-Germain.
“Triller’s diversity, culture graphic and influence over culture is unparallel. Proud to announce I am joining the Triller family and leaving TikTok forever. See you on Triller,” said Neymar Jr..
“Neymar Jr.’s enthusiasm to join Triller as an ambassador is reflective of our app’s versatility.
