Fact Check: Kamala Harris Campaign Did NOT Illegally Pay Beyoncé $200,000 For A Campaign Rally Appearance — Satire Site Posted Claim As Troll Bait

A satire website falsely claimed that the Kamala Harris presidential campaign made an illegal $200,000 payment to Beyoncé for travel expenses for a rally appearance.

Campaign finance documents show no such payment, but the campaign did pay $164,000 for production costs to Beyoncé’s production company.

The fake news article was written by a fictitious author on The Dunning-Kruger Times website, known for its satirical content.

Other false claims about Beyoncé’s support for Harris have circulated, including a debunked $10 million payment for an endorsement.
