Popular online influencer Charleston White says that Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign is “paying” black celebrities to endorse her in the 2024 election, lamenting, “We didn’t pick her, they gave her to us.”
“So now that’s why you see from Kamala, Obama, all of them ran to our black celebrities,” White said in a recent interview.
“I just seen Lizzo just campaigned in Detroit. Usher was just in Atlanta. I saw all of these celebrities,” the podcast host replied, adding that he doesn’t “understand it,” because taking a side in this election means alienating half the country and putting their “brand” at risk.

“They’re paying them like that?” the podcast host asked, to which White replied, “Yes, man, they raised a lot of money this year.”
