The slew of A-list celebrities who supported Kamala Harris‘ 2024 presidential campaign were paid megabucks to endorse the vice president, sources reveal.

Beyoncé, LeBron James and Lady Gaga were among the deep-pocketed stars who trumpeted their wholehearted support for Harris — while neglecting to reveal that campaign cash quietly flowed into their privately owned company coffers, sources tell The National Enquirer.

“I didn’t get paid a dollar,” singer Cardi B famously claimed despite reports that her firm Washpoppin Inc. pulled in $58,867, according to newly revealed Harris campaign records.

The records also show that Beyoncé got $165,000 for a four-minute rally appearance in Houston, Texas, while LeBron’s entertainment company SpringHill received $50,000 for a campaign ad skewering Donald Trump, who went on to handily defeat Harris despite the all-star support.

“When I think about my kids and my family and how they will grow up, the choice is clear to me. VOTE KAMALA HARRIS!!!” LeBron posted on social media to his more than 200 million followers during the campaign.

Meanwhile, Lady Gaga’s Mermaid Touring collected $132,753, and a company linked to former President Barack Obama cashed a payment for $100,000. The campaign also paid $500,000 to a nonprofit Al Sharpton founded.

Incredibly, Harris campaign adviser Adrienne Elrod claimed the celebrity endorsements did not bite into the Democratic candidate’s $1 billion war chest. “We do not pay. We have never paid any artist and performer,” she said in November — although campaign ledgers reveal that LeBron’s payment came three days after Trump took office this January.
