Why it worked

Product placement
DJ Diesel (appears, acts): This is the DJ persona of Shaquille O'Neal, who is performing at the festival. Removing it would change the context of the performance but not the core content of T-Pain playing a song. Pioneer DJ (appears, acts): This is the brand of the DJ equipment being used. Removing it would not change the content of the video, but it is visible and being used.
