The producer further asserted that the opinions of most of the celebrities endorsing candidates for the election were unsolicited.

In his words, “There are celebrities that I respect that have an opinion, but not all of them. I’m one of them people [who says], ‘What the heck? Shut Nobody asked you’,” he said.

So far, a number of American celebrities including Taylor Swift, Megan Thee Stallion, Billie Eilish, and a host of others have publicly endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris.

Former President Donald Trump, on the other hand, has also scored pockets of endorsements from billionaire Elon Musk, Blac Chyna and others.
