JUST IN: Cardi Break Social Media Silence To Swearing On Her Three Kids Over How Much Kamala Harris Paid Her While Beyonce And Megan Thee Stallion Deliver Shocking Reaction On Paid

Cardi B is setting the record straight. After conservative commentator Candace Owens questioned whether the rapper got paid for her appearance at a Kamala Harris rally, the American rapper who remained a staunch democratic supporter this election cycle confirmed —no payment from Kamala Harris’ campaign, despite what some might believe. The timing of her response comes just days after Oprah Winfrey debunked similar claims about being paid $1 million for a town hall.

Cardi B confirms receiving no payment from Harris

As nearly the entire Hollywood elite rallied behind Kamala Harris in hopes of making her America’s first female president, the attempt fell short as Trump claimed the White House for a second, non-consecutive term. Now, many celebrities are being accused of receiving payments from Harris’ campaign to attend rallies, speak, and perform. Cardi B is one of them.

“Hey @iamcardib — Working on a story and was wondering if you were in any way paid to speak at the Kamala campaign event you spoke at,” Owens wrote on X, targeting the “Bodak Yellow” rapper, who quickly fired back with a response.

“I didn’t get paid a dollar and that’s on my three,” the rapper responded with her signature flair. In fact, Cardi went above and beyond, covering her own expenses for glam and travel. “You know damn well I’ll argue you down about politics FOR FREE,” she added.

The WAP crooner headlined Harris’ Milwaukee, Wisconsin, rally where she struggled with a teleprompter glitch. “Like Kamala Harris, I’ve been the underdog, underestimated, and had my success belittled,” she said during the rally in an attempt to pull out some last-minute votes. “Women have to work 10 times harder and still face questions about how we achieved success. I can’t stand a bully, but just like Kamala, I always stand up to one,” she added.

Cardi B joined a list of other A-listers, including Jennifer Lopez, Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, Megan Thee Stallion, and others, who voiced their support for the Democratic nominee, who ultimately lost the election to Trump.

“No one has ever made me change my mind and you did! I never thought I would see the day that a woman of color would be running for the President of the United States, but you have shown me, shown my daughters and women across the country that anything is possible,” she wrote after the election result.

From Beyonce to Lady Gaga & Megan Thee Stallion: None of these stars were paid millions to endorse Kamala Harris, says her campaign

Vice President Kamala Harris’ unsuccessful presidential bid did not provide a fee for celebrity endorsements, a senior campaign official clarified on Friday.

“We do not pay. We have never paid any artist and performer,” said Adrienne Elrod, who held the position of senior adviser and senior spokesperson for the Harris campaign, in her communication with Deadline, according to a report from New York Post.

The campaign organised numerous concerts featuring prominent celebrities prior to Harris’ electoral defeat by President-elect Donald Trump.

Various renowned performers including Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Christina Aguilera, Ricky Martin, Megan Thee Stallion, Bruce Springsteen, Jon Bon Jovi, 2 Chainz and Mumford & Sons supported the Harris campaign, aiming to encourage voter turnout amongst hesitant voters.

Notable Grammy recipients Beyonce, Cardi B and Jennifer Lopez made campaign appearances supporting Harris without performing, which disappointed some supporters

Elrod detailed that Federal Election Commission regulations required the campaign to compensate fair market value for supplementary performance expenses, including payments for band members and producers.”There are laws that have to be followed that we have followed religiously on this campaign,” she affirmed.

The series of pre-election concerts reportedly cost the campaign approximately $20 million.Earlier this week, television personality Oprah Winfrey, who supported Harris and hosted a virtual town hall, dismissed claims about receiving personal payment for the September “Unite for America” event.
