As the newly elected Mayor of New York City, Zohran Mamdani has been making headlines for his progressive policies and commitment to public service. However, few people know about his secret passion for rap music, which has been generating significant royalties for the mayor.
According to his tax filings, Mamdani earned $1,643 in music royalties last year, a substantial increase from the $1,267 he made in 2024. This unexpected windfall is likely due to the mayor’s increased visibility and popularity after his campaign for office.
