David Ortiz's now infamous selfie with President Barack Obama at the White House on Tuesday may not have been spontaneous.

The Boston Red Sox, who won the 2013 World Series, were honored by the president during the off-day.

Ortiz's selfie is now showing up in social media posts promoted by Samsung.

"We have a relationship with David and the Red Sox. We partner with people who have like-minded values and fit with who we are as a brand," a Samsung spokesman said in a statement.

Samsung famously had viral success during the Oscars last month when host Ellen DeGeneres took a star-studded selfie with her Samsung phone.
