Obama’s Renegade44 LLC and Cardi B’s Washpoppin, Inc.
Kamala Harris’s doomed presidential bid funneled nearly one hundred thousand dollars to a shell company controlled by former President Obama and almost sixty thousand dollars to rapper Cardi B’s production firm.
These payments, officially listed for “travel” and “campaign event production,” were actually used for purposes that were not fully disclosed, raising questions about the transparency of the campaign’s financial operations.
Cardi B Denied Any Compensation
Cardi B, publicly asserted on November 14 that she received no payment for her appearance alongside Kamala Harris, insisting she personally covered all “glam and travel” costs to attend the event. In her social media exchange with pundit Candace Owens, the rapper emphasized she came “out of pocket” because she believed it was an important place to be, even adding, “That’s on my three,” about her three children.
Campaign Records Reveal December Payment
Despite Cardi B’s denial, documents indicate the Harris campaign issued a payment to her company on December 12. The details and timing of the deal between Cardi B’s firm and the campaign remain unclear, and most telling, neither the rapper nor Harris has responded to questions seeking additional clarification.
Brief Appearance Without a Performance
Cardi B, did not perform any of her music during the Harris campaign stop. Instead, she delivered a ten-minute speech explaining that she originally “wasn’t going to vote” but changed her mind once Kamala Harris decided to run against “bully” Donald Trump.
Concluding her remarks, she addressed Harris directly, thanking her for the invitation and saying she did not “take lightly the call to show up.
Fake Endorsements? Paid Celebrities and Influencers on the Harris Payroll
Harris’s campaign poured $1.5 billion into various endorsements, appearances, and production costs over three months. Major figures like Oprah Winfrey, Beyoncé Knowles, Bruce Springsteen, and Ricky Martin were paid to participate in Harris campaign events. Despite this astronomical spending, it failed miserably to resonate with voters.
Obama’s Controversial Remarks Just More Of The Same Woke Word Salad
During a Pittsburgh rally, Obama hinted that some black men might be hesitant to support Harris because she is a woman. His comments, which were seen as typically woke, controversial and divisive, came amid questions over whether celebrity endorsements, high-profile surrogates, and lavish expenditures had distracted from policy proposals and on-the-ground organizing.
Post-Election Fallout and Unanswered Questions
Despite shattering campaign spending records, Harris ultimately lost decisively to President Donald Trump.
Campaign insiders are still questioning how such vast resources yielded so few results while Democratic donors and party officials grapple with the impact of a billion-dollar campaign that did not deliver on its promise.
Here’s a complete list of the Harris campaign payments to “celebrities” and their shell companies.
