Kamala Harris’ campaign remains silent on claims she lost millions on failed endorsements from Megan Thee Stallion, Eminem and Lizzo

Kamala Harris’ campaign remains silent on claims she lost millions on failed endorsements from Megan Thee Stallion, Eminem and Lizzo

What’s left of Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign is radio silence amid wild claims that the Democratic candidate has wasted millions on celebrity endorsements.

The vice president took out Megan Thee Stallion, Lizzo, Eminem and Oprah Winfrey to try to rally supporters to her failed bid for president.

Since her defeat by Donald Trump, charges she paid Exorbitant seven-figure sums to A-list donors have appeared on social media.

While some figures have not been confirmed in Federal Election Commission filings, the vice president’s staff has not responded to claims.

Only Winfrey has denied the accusation, but in her case it becomes more complicated because the Federal Election Commission website has a record of two $500,000 payments to her company Harpo Productions.

‘Not true,’ Winfrey told TMZ. “I never got paid.”

In a statement to Varietysaid a spokesperson for Harpo: “The campaign paid the production costs of ‘Unite for America,’ a livestreaming event that took place on September 19 outside Detroit, Michigan.”

“At no time during the campaign did Oprah Winfrey pay any personal compensation, nor did she receive any compensation from Harpo,” the spokesperson added.

When Harris took over the top of the Democratic ticket for President Joe Biden in July, a number of top artists and actors jumped in to get involved in the campaign, which aimed to put the first woman — and woman of color — in the White House to get.

Megan Thee Stallion was one of them.

She performed at a Harris campaign event in Atlanta, Georgia, on July 30 – just nine days after Biden dropped out.

There is no mention on the FEC website of the Harris campaign paying Megan Thee Stallion, Megan Pete, or Megan Thee Stallion’s production company any compensation.

At the same time, three individuals who work or work for the Harris campaign declined to return DailyMail.com’s request for comment.

A person listed as Megan Thee Stallion’s agent also did not respond.

Eminem and Lizzo’s people haven’t returned to DailyMail.com either.

Eminem, whose real name is Marshall Mathers, appeared for Harris at a campaign rally in Detroit, Michigan on October 22.

He spoke very briefly before introducing the main act – former President Barack Obama – who then rapped Eminem’s Lose Yourself.

Lizzo also came to Harris’ aid in Detroit, singing at an Oct. 19 event that Harris also attended.

The most recent transactions on the FEC website for the Harris campaign are dated Oct. 17 — so if any payments were made to Mathers or Melissa Viviane Jefferson — that’s Lizzo’s real name — they wouldn’t be published yet.

Since Harris conceded to former President Donald Trump on Wednesday, her campaign has continued to ask donors for dollars to contribute to “the Harris Fight Fund program,” amid reports they raised more than $1 billion.
