Motorsports legend Danica Patrick has her say on rap star Megan Thee Stallion’s claim over payments to her from Donald Trump’s political campaign.

Motorsports pioneer Danica Patrick has responded to rap superstar Megan Thee Stallion’s claim over payments from political campaigns. The issue has been a hot topic in US politics, of late, particularly as Kamala Harris and the Democratic campaign appeared to win the backing of numerous celebrities, including Taylor Swift, Bruce Springsteen, and Eminem.

Per Fox News, the vice president paid Oprah Winfrey’s Harpo Productions $1 million to seemingly court an endorsement from the American host and television producer. Winfrey denied the claim Monday when speaking to TMZ. “I was paid nothing, ever,” Winfrey said. The Harris campaign, in a separate Daily Mail story, also reportedly made a $5 million payment to Stallion, yet there is no record such a payment exists.

It has led to a lot of mud-slinging and who was paid what and by which political candidate. Setting the record straight, Danica Patrick said she wasn’t paid a thing by Donald Trump’s campaign, but believed in his presidency so much that her support came at a cost because of outfits she bought and costs associated with getting to and from various rallies.

“All the events, rallies, interviews, social posts … I did for free,” the former NASCAR driver said on X, formerly Twitter. “Actually spent a fair amount on wardrobe.”

Targeting Stallion, and her performance at the Harris rally, Patrick added: “But to be fair, I can’t twerk so … It all adds up.”

With a projected electoral college vote of 312 to 226, together with a greater share of the popular vote, Trump’s victory over Harris was never in question as he secured a clear MAGA mandate from the American population for the first time since 2016. Additionally, the Republicans won the Senate, and, on Wednesday, it was confirmed they won the House, too. This means there could be a clear pathway to push through legislation it wonts to enact, from crypto regulation, to its bills on immigration.

Patrick got to know Trump, and the Trump family, through the rallies. And said his energy was “unreal.”

She said backlash she received after attending her first political event in December only emboldened her politics. “Somehow that passion has led me all the way to November 4 … riding on Trump Force One for the final evening of the campaign, talking about race cars with Donald Trump while we flew to the last rally.

“I really think that when you are in alignment with yourself and speaking truth about something you are passionate about, it gives you energy. And he is passionate about you and this country! He doesn’t need this job, he wants this job. And no one has had their will tested more than him.”

Other celebrities outside of Patrick to endorse Trump included renowned podcaster Joe Rogan, UFC boss Dana White, and the billionaire owner of X Tesla, and Space X, Elon Musk.
