Cardi B confirms she wasn’t paid for Kamala Harris campaign event

Cardi B is the latest celebrity to confirm she was not paid to appear and speak at Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign events.

Candace Owens contacted the hip-hop star Wednesday on X saying she was “working on a story” and wondering if she was “paid in any way to speak at Kamala” which she had attended before election day. Cardi responded that she “didn’t get a dollar.”

“I didn’t get a dollar and that’s out of my three!! I actually went out of my way for glamor and travel because it’s a place I wanted to be,” Cardi wrote. “Like please girl you know damn well I’m gonna talk to you about politics for FREE.”

Cardi is the latest celebrity Harris supporter to be questioned about the terms of her involvement in the vice president’s presidential campaign. Earlier Wednesday, Oprah Winfrey confirmed that she “didn’t get paid a dime” for the $1 million live production she did for the campaign, but her team at Harpo Productions did.

“My time and energy was my way of supporting the campaign. For the September live stream event, my production company Harpo was asked to bring in the set design, lights, cameras, microphones, crew, producers and anything else needed (including benches and chairs on which we were sitting) to organize a live. production. I took no personal costs,” Winfrey said. “However, the people who worked on this production had to be paid. And we were. End of story.

Cardi B was a strong Harris supporter late in the campaign. She released a statement the day after the election results were revealed, thanking her for being an “example of what the American dream should be.”

“No matter what they have said to demean you or minimize your candidacy for president, they will never be able to say that you did not run your race with honesty and integrity!” You really fought against all the odds that were already stacked against you! » Cardi wrote. “You really fought against all the odds that were already stacked against you!” You never accepted defeat as an option, which speaks volumes about your strength and your heart. You really wanted better for all of us! »

She continued: “This may not mean much but I’m so proud of you! No one has ever changed my mind and you did it! I never thought I would see the day when a woman of color would run for President of the United States, but you showed me, my daughters, and women across the country that anything is possible. Thank you for being an example, thank you for being empowered, thank you for being a true example of what the American dream should be!
