Kamala Harris is raking in those endorsements with artists like John Legend, Megan Thee Stallion, and now Lil Jon having the Vice President's back!
The politician's campaign train is getting longer, and Lil Jon just got on it by giving an electrifying performance during the Democratic National Convention on Tuesday night.
Kamala Harris accepted her party's presidential candidate nomination in Chicago amid pomp and pageantry in front of a power-packed audience that included Barack and Michelle Obama.
Lil Jon Shows Up And Shows Out For Kamala Harris At The DNC

The rapper got the crowd on their feet as he performed his hit 2013 party anthem, "Turn Down For What," and dropped a few memorable one-liners.
He also gave a shout-out to "VP Harris" and "Governor Walz" on the tune of his monster hit "Get Low" in the video, which was posted on Kamala HQ's X page.
The event was one for the books, compared to the much more "subtle" atmosphere at the Republican National Convention a few weeks ago.
TMZ reported that more states also caught the Chicago groove. Attendees in Michigan brought the roof down vibing to Eminem's "Lose Yourself," and Dropkick Murphys' "Shipping Up to Boston" kept the crowd entertained in Massachusetts.
Mixed Reactions Trailed The Rapper's Performance At The Convention

Like every political event since the campaign season kicked off, Lil Jon's performance was welcomed with different reactions and POVs right in Kamala HQ's comment section.
This user wrote, "Republicans in the comments are acting like this is weird, but Hulk Hogan ripping his shirt on stage is cool and fine," as another declared, "To the window….. to the WALZ."
"This is a concert, not a convention," this unimpressed observer commented, but another user expressed a different opinion, claiming the convention was "a little bit of a step up from the Republicans and Lil Pump."
The conspiracy theorists were not missing, as this user wrote, "Democrats had to get a music celebrity to perform in order to get people to show up at the DNC."
"I know trump is panicking right now as he should," this X user declared right below a comment claiming, "No one voted for Kamala the Cackling Communist to be the nominee."
Megan Thee Stallion Also Joined The Harris Support Train
The Grammy Award-winning rapper doubled down on her support for the presidential candidate back in July on her Instagram page.
Fondly called Stallion by her fans, The Blast shared that the Texas-born rapper posted a video of herself and her backup dancers donning the Democratic Party’s blue color as they performed the viral TikTok choreography to “Mamushi”
Megan looked fierce in a cropped blazer and cropped white button-down shirt combo paired with a matching blue tie and low-rise trousers.
She captioned the video “Thee new Head of Security. #hottiesforharris,” as her backup dancers opted for mini skirts with black pantyhose without crop tops. Megan’s post comes after her performance at the campaign rally in Atlanta on Tuesday, July 30.
John Legend Also Made The Endorsement Roll Call

The singer and songwriter joined his colleague to voice his support for Harris the same way he threw his weight behind Joe Biden.
Legend performed at the Election Day eve rally in Philadelphia for Biden in 2020 and gave a special shout-out to Harris at a July 23 event.
"It's about time we let a Wonder Woman be president," declared the "All of Me" singer during the second half of his two-hour show with the San Francisco Symphony.
Kamala Harris Paid Homage To Her College Sorority At Atlanta Campaign

As Megan performed her heart out at the event, she was joined by former Georgia House of Representatives member Stacey Abrams, who looked powerful in a blue number.
The Blast shared that the ladies were on the blue theme for the night, and Harris stood on business in a powder blue double-breasted blazer and matching tailored trouser.
She also paid tribute to the Alpha Kappa Alpha, her sorority in college, with pearl earrings and a matching pearl necklace, which also matched her white blouse.
Election day is still a few months away, and it is highly likely the Kamala Harris campaign will receive more celebrity endorsements.
