Dr. Dre’s Beats Entertainment has decided against a guerrilla marketing campaign around Brazil’s upcoming World Cup, The Post has learned.

Despite launching a new video ad starring Brazil’s Neymar da Silva and other soccer stars, Beats won’t be flooding the World Cup’s locker rooms with its fashionable headgear the way it did at the London Olympics, a source close to Beats told The Post.

“Call it lesson learned,” the source said.

Beats created a stir in 2012 when it doled out specialized headsets (gold for the US basketball team and Union Jack prints for the British athletes, etc) to athletes converging in London for the Olympic Games.

The International Olympic Committee stopped short of taking action despite rules against “ambush marketing” tactics. But the move forced a committee spokesman to remind athletes of “the importance of protecting our sponsors.”
