Did Trump prosecute Beyonce? POTUS accuses her of taking $11M from Democrats for alleged "illegal" endorsement

On Sunday, July 27, Donald Trump claimed that the Democrats paid $11 million to Beyonce to secure her endorsement during the Presidential elections. The POTUS took to Truth Social to name-drop Queen Bey, Oprah Winfrey, and Al Sharpton for allegedly taking money illegally to support Kamala Harris.

Trump also called for the prosecution of Kamala Harris and all the A-listers mentioned in his post, including Beyonce. However, no official legal procedure has been reported against the 35-time Grammy winner at the time of writing.

"I’m looking at the large amount of money owed by the Democrats, after the Presidential Election, and the fact that they admit to paying, probably illegally, Eleven Million Dollars to singer Beyoncé for an ENDORSEMENT (she never sang, not one note, and left the stage to a booing and angry audience!), Three Million Dollars for “expenses,” to Oprah, Six Hundred Thousand Dollars to very low rated TV “anchor,” Al Sharpton (a total lightweight!), and others to be named for doing, absolutely NOTHING!" he wrote on Truth Social.

The President continued, threatening that "all hell would break out" on Kamala Harris and the others who were allegedly involved.

"These ridiculous fees were incorrectly stated in the books and records. YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO PAY FOR AN ENDORSEMENT. IT IS TOTALLY ILLEGAL TO DO SO. Can you imagine what would happen if politicians started paying for people to endorse them. All hell would break out! Kamala, and all of those that received Endorsement money, BROKE THE LAW. They should all be prosecuted! Thank you for your attention to this matter," Trump concluded.

As per Billboard, Donald Trump has referred to the October 2024 Houston rally organized by the Democrats, attended by Queen Bey.

Is there any truth to Trump's Truth Social post about Beyonce bagging $11M from Democrats?

Donald Trump has accused the Democrats of allegedly paying $11 million to Beyonce for endorsing Kamala Harris during the 2024 US Presidential elections. However, a July 27, 2025, report by CNN asserts that there is no evidence of Beyonce taking $11 million for anything related to Harris' campaign, let alone for the endorsement in question.

Federal Election Commission records show that Beyonce's Parkwood Entertainment received $165,000 from Kamala Harris on November 19, 2024. However, it was recorded as "campaign event production" expense, and a Democrat spokesperson confirmed to Deadline last year that they were legally required to cover the costs incurred by the appearances of Beyonce.

However, there is no evidence to suggest Bey ever took an eight-figure sum to endorse Harris's campaign. Fact-checking websites like PolitiFact and FactCheck.org have failed to find any basis behind the claim. Rumors of Beyonce taking a multi-million-dollar paycheck for endorsing Kamala Harris started spreading last year when several Trump supporters stood by the claim.

On November 1, 2024, Queen Bey's publicist, Yvette Noel-Schure, spoke to PolitiFact and described the claims as "beyond ridiculous."

Beyonce raved about Kamala Harris during her appearance in the aforementioned Houston rally. Although the Lemonade songstress didn't perform, she referred to herself as a mother, saying:
