The ‘Panama Playlists' leak claims to expose Spotify accounts of JD Vance, Pam Bondi and a slew of other pols and CEOs
Vice President JD Vance is a big fan of the Backstreet Boys' 'I Want It That Way.' White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt gets pumped up with Beyonce's 'Run the World (Girls)' — and there's one very prominent politician who loves Nelly's 'Hot In Herre.' That's all according to the Panama Playlists — a site that quietly went live Wednesday and claims to reveal the private music tastes of a slew of public figures. 'I found the real Spotify accounts of celebrities, politicians, and journalists. Many use their real names. With a little sleuthing, I could say with near-certainty: yep, this is them,' the anonymous eavesdropper wrote. 6 The Panama Playlists claims to expose the music taste and habits of some of the world elite and has no affiliation with the popular music app. REUTERS 'We've been scraping their accounts since summer 2024. Playlists, live listening feed, everything. I know what songs they played, when, and how many times,' they wrote, also stating the project has not affiliation with company 'Spotify.' The anonymous researcher told The Post that they became convinced in the authenticity of each account as the months of monitoring went on. 'I gained confidence in each person by looking at lots of signals. An example is Pam Bondi. Her longtime partner is John Wakefield, and her profile has an old playlist called 'john' and an old shared playlist with a user named 'John Wakefield,' so that gives me a lot of confidence it is her account.' 'Karoline Leavitt's profile has a playlist called 'Baby Shower,' and she had a baby a month after the playlist was made,' the owner of the website told The Post, emphasizing they only collected publicly available information. It all seems to be a bit of summer fun, that reveals the questionable, ironic and sometimes too-on-the-nose music choices of America's rich and powerful. 'Heard of the Panama Papers?

Some fans online have yet to forgive Nelly for appearing onstage during President Donald Trump's inauguration celebration, prompting the St. Louis star to call out supporters of former Vice President Kamala Harris and more. The Shade Room shared a clip of Nelly sitting with Hot 97's Ebro Darden doing promo with Ashanti for the pair's Peacock series, Nelly & Ashanti: We Belong Together. The clip shows the 'Hot In Herre' artist discussing how he has never endorsed any presidential candidate and pushing back against the assertion that he's a supporter of Trump after the performance. As it often happens with The Shade Room, fans began hurling barbs in Nelly's direction, which got his attention via a lengthy response in where he defends his actions, blasts Kamala Harris, criticized her intteracial marriage, and stood up for Snoop Dogg, who also caught the ire of fans for assumed support of President Trump. From The Shade Room: ''ll put whatever up me and snoop do more in the community and have been doing for over 20 + years against any of you that are just on here talking trash and have no stats to back up what you mean to the community .. from the black families that we employ to the black children that we help every day and all year through our nonprofits, whether we're sending kids to schools on scholarships to HBCU or helping young black boys in la 'gang central ' with his junior football programs which many players have went on to go to the NFL and live their dreams, .. and on top of that we are 'Black Men' married to beautiful Black women with black children .. should be inspiring to most but that some of y'all have a problem with because the 'prosecutor who has probably locked up more black men that we've helped woman of color with the white husband and white kids Did not win the election.. again I reiterate, I did not campaign for anyone.

Nelly calls for positivity after Trump's first 100 days in office: 'I'm a glass half full type of guy'
Months after facing backlash for performing at the Liberty Ball in celebration of President Donald Trump's inauguration, Nelly is calling for unity as Trump reaches his 100th day in office. "I'm all for everybody staying positive about any and everything," Nelly, who performed at Stagecoach over the weekend, told Fox News Digital. "I'm a glass half full type of guy. I'm more empowered by bringing people together and making sure that we all get what we need, when we need it and why we need it." Ahead of his performance in January, the rapper felt the need to defend his decision as he was met with a wave of criticism. "I'm not doing this for money. I'm doing this 'cause it's an honor. I respect the office," the St. Louis native said during a live conversation with fellow rapper, Willie D. "It don't matter who is in office. The same way that our men and women, our brothers and sisters who protect this country, have to go to war and have to put their life on the line for whoever [is] in office," Nelly, who was born on a military base, continued. "So, if they can put their life on the line for whoever [is] in office, I can damn sure perform for whoever [is] in office." WATCH: NELLY TAKES THE STAGE AT PRESIDENT TRUMP'S LIBERTY BALL A source close to the artist told Fox News Digital that in addition to his father, Nelly's aunts and uncles "all served in the military for our democracy and the right for us all to vote. He has personally stayed away from politics and wouldn't participate in campaigning for anyone, but this performance is for the highest office." Additionally, during the conversation, Nelly said his decision wasn't based off politics. "The politics, for me, is over. He won! He's the president," the "Hot In Herre" singer said earlier in the conversation. "He's the commander in chief of what I would like to say is the best country in the world." "It is an honor for me to perform for the president of the United States, regardless of who is in office. If President Biden would've asked me to perform, I would've performed. If Vice President Kamala Harris would've won and asked me to perform, I would've performed," he said. After his performance at the Liberty Ball, Nelly told Fox News Digital, "It was an honor to have performed for the highest office in the greatest nation. Now we look to the president to step up, serve, and lift us all."
